Marions love affair with knitting began at the age of 8, learning from her Oma at their family cottage. Since then, knitting has become an integral part of her daily life, with hardly a day passing without her picking up her needles to create something beautiful. Like so many of us Fibre people – Marion jumps into projects, only to discover the need for new skills midway through – and she learns and keeps going!
As an avid knitter, Marion loves introducing others to the craft, sharing her expertise in knitting techniques, colors, exquisite yarns, and captivating patterns.
Her passion for vibrant hues and luxurious yarn textures led her to venture into yarn dyeing, culminating in the founding of One Stitch More in 2020. Transitioning from her previous roles as an engineer and Compliance Officer, Marion now pours her energy into dyeing yarn, making it her primary business while continuing to inspire knitters with her colorful creations.
Discover the secrets of sock knitting in this new workshop! If you find sock knitting difficult - or scary to start - this is your place to start! Our workshop will guide you through the essential steps of crafting a basic sock, leaving you with a baby-sized creation by the end. Fill your future with sock-knitting adventures. With a bit of practice, you'll soon be juggling two pairs of socks in progress!
What to Bring: We recommend bringing sport weight yarn along with a 3-4mm needle. Whether you prefer circular needles or double-pointed needles (dpns), the choice is yours. If you're already comfortable with finer yarns, feel free to bring along your 2.5mm needle and fingering/sock weight yarn for a more intricate project.
Skill Level: You should be proficient in basic knitting and purling techniques. While it's helpful to have some experience knitting in the round, it's not mandatory. We will happily guide you through the process!
