An Evening of Knitting Inspiration

On the evening of October 20, I attended a Sisterhood program on knitting, which featured Amanda Kafka, creator of The Crafty Jackalope knitters website, as our guest speaker.  She told us about her journey in knitting and fashion design.  Her two passions came together and she began designing knitting patterns and teaching.

The Crafty Jackalope is a knitting/crochet craft website that sells knit & crochet patterns/instructions, knit,crochet kits (yarn & patterns), needles, and notions. Amanda’ brought with her some of the knitting designs from a recent trunk show.  Here are some photos from the evening, including one of Amanda speaking, and then photos of the knit or crocheted items that she brought with her to show us. Very inspiring.





She has also just published a knitting pattern book called "The Crafty Jackalope" Vol. 01 with beautiful knitting patterns. She did all of the work to create and test the new patterns, as well as putting the book together.
