Planned & Assigned Pooling  with Keith Leonard

knit fabric that is blue but has orange & pink pooling in the middle.

Color pooling is SO MUCH FUN! Planned pooling is when you intentionally plan for the colors in the skein of yarn to pool or group together throughout your project as you knit it. Assigned pooling is when specific colors or sections in a skein of yarn are assigned a different stitch pattern within a project It’s fun, easy, and addictive. Learn the tricks to make it work every time, and watch your hand-dyed yarns come alive in a whole new way!

Keith Leonard began his knitting journey when he joined a lunch time knitting program in elementary school. Once the knitting bug bit, the itch never went away. After graduating from college, he started a knitwear finishing business called Knits All Done, completing hundreds of finishing projects for clients all over the United States. His finishing expertise organically transitioned into teaching knitting classes, and he has taught his skills to thousands of knitters throughout the country. In 2019 Keith started his own yarn line, yarnsnobyarns.com, and he currently spends his days producing astonishingly vibrant skeins to put in the hands of knitters.

Before the meeting, there will be a trunk show with Leading Men Fiber Arts at 6:30pm CT. Keith’s talk will begin at 7:00pm CT.
