Bio of Sarah Etchison:

Sarah Etchison began machine knitting in 1977. About a year later she began teaching on a Toyota knitting machine. Sarah has taught at the Knitting Machine Center in the Seattle and Everett area for about 20 years, and has been a freelance instructor for more than 30 years. She is experienced on all brands of knitting machines including Brother, Singer/Studio/Silver Reed, PASSAP, and Superba/White.

Sarah also provides instruction on Cochenille Design Software (Garment Designer and Stitch Painter) as well as Design-A-Knit. Sarah enjoys playing with texture and experimenting with the capabilities of all the machines. She considers herself an ‘enabler’ in that she teaches other people to realize their design ideas on the knitting machine. Sarah also is a self-confessed software junky, and became enthralled with Creation Six, Design-A-Knit and Cochenille Design Studio software.

Topics will include:

  • Yokes
  • Top-Down Cardigan
