Join us for a special mini-workshop with Julie Weisenberger, founder of Cocoknits, during the Bay Area Yarn Crawl!

Get help with your next (or first!) Cocoknits sweater! Need help choosing yarn? Or do you have yarn but need help choosing a Cocoknits pattern? Or maybe you have both and want some advice on sizing/gauge? Need a refresher or overview of the Cocoknits method? Come with your questions and Julie will help you get that sweater going!

Cocoknits patterns are stylish and can be knit in a huge array of yarn. They are perfect for everyone; from the beginning knitter who knows how to knit and purl, to the advanced knitter, who is working towards a wardrobe of elegant, hand-knit clothing.  

We are in the unbelievably, lucky position to have Julie live here in town! As you can imagine, she knows her patterns inside and out, and can help you with sizing, fit, yarn choice, and all other questions pertaining to her wide collection of patterns. 

Julie is: 

  • extremely well-versed upon the subject of yarn and the knitted fabric. She can guide you through choosing yarn, and teach you how the knitted fabric will respond to her designs. 
  • a great teacher. She will teach you pertinent techniques and help you gain the skills to tackle your next project or finish the one you're working on now.
