INSTRUCTORS

EDYE VANDYKE is a retired teacher who started to knit in college. Several years later, during the scarf craze, she resumed knitting. This gypsy-at-heart loves color, texture, linen yarn and knitting 2 piece outfits. She is a stickler for proper fit.

VANESSA PICARD learned to knit at a beading shop in Tucson, AZ, nearly twenty years ago and while she still loves designing intricate beading projects, she is forever grateful for knitting’s calming influence in her life.  Vanessa is a working photographer, mama to two hopefully kind children, and an avid hiker and explorer at heart.  She loves all knitting, but socks are her favorite.  Vanessa has knit a pair of socks for her husband for their anniversary every year that they have been married.

SARAH SOKOLOSKI became interested in crocheting while living in Denver, CO in search of a hobby that did not need to be plugged in and can go with her on hiking and camping trips in the mountains. Now that Pittsburgh is her home, she is never without a working project including amigurumi, crocheted jewelry, paper flowers, embroidery and yarn wall hangings.
