Fiberside Chats

Launched in May 2020, Chats are one-hour Zoom sessions with special guests joining us to give a peek into their world. These designers & creators will discuss their unique path, creative processes, favorite techniques, latest projects, or whatever is inspiring them now. There will be opportunity for Q&A & other fun surprises like giveaways & pattern discounts for those who join!

Your seat at Fiberside Chats is just $20. This fee supports the guest speaker & the LYS you sign up under. At the registration page you can use the drop down list to choose to purchase your ticket from Knit ATX.

Have a conflict in your schedule? Don't worry we've got you covered. Many of our guests are allowing Zoom recordings of their Chat. Whether the Chat will be recorded or not will be clearly stated for each event. Recordings will be available for 1 week after the chat, only to registered attendees.

Upcoming Guests

  • Jill Tamminen - Knit Sisu, February 15, 2026

    Finding Joy on the Needles!

    Jill Tamminen is the founder of Knit Sisu, where knitting becomes a joyful pathway to mindfulness, resilience, and self-compassion.  Inspired by the Finnish concept of SISU - quiet strength, perseverance, and inner calm - Jill combines traditional knitting designs with modern flair and mindfulness to help people slow down and reconnect with the simple joy of making.


    Jill will share stories about her knitting experiences, including the "Technique Shawl", a design-style that teaches knitters how to read fabric, free them from the tie to a written pattern, and build confidence.  You'll also learn some tips & tricks that will help you BYOD (Be Your Own Designer) and truly find joy and creativity on your needles! Be sure to sign up now for this encouraging and uplifting Fiberside Chat!

  • Lena Fedotova, March 29, 2026

    Explore New & Unique Crochet Stitches with Lena Fedotova!


    Join crochet designer and stitch creator Lena to see how new crochet stitches appear - and why! What happens when familiar stitches are no longer enough? New yarns behave differently, new colorways need new solutions, and new shapes ask for new structures and this is where inspiration happens.

    In this talk, Lena shares how she creates new stitches and how small technical choices can change the whole fabric. She will show some of the techniques from her book, New Ways with Crochet, and how you can use them in your own projects.
    You don't want to miss this Chat where we'll explore fresh ways of thinking about crochet and discover it from a new angle!
