Winter Design Challenge
DDC BOOK SALE
What is the Winter Design Challenge?
Join us in celebrating 30 years of creativity & crafting excellence
The best way to grow your design skills is to make whatever you place on your needles, your own. That advice has held me in good stead for over 30 years as a teacher, knitwear designer, and author. Liberate your creativity by allowing yourself to interpret, reimagine, and play with existing patterns. I invite you to sign up for the Winter Design Challenge.
In this challenge, I want to highlight both accessory & garment designers, allowing them to shine in their strengths, especially when I turn up the heat this winter. That is why I’ve created two categories for designers to choose from. See the details for each category below:
