Location: 92 Peachtree Street SW Atlanta, Georgia
Event Type: Knitting 101 Workshop
Date/Time: March 9th, 2023 7-9pm

JuleahXart at the Southern Misfit Studios is slowly trying to diversify what specialties we offer through our Workshop program. We don’t want to JUST be known for our Paint and Sips, although we love them and are super proud of what we build there - we are capable of those and so much more! In March, we did our first Knitting 101 workshop with The Bakery in Downtown Atlanta. The Bakery has been a dream client of ours for quite some time - that manifesting magic hits different! JuleahXart learned to knit from her grandmother who immigrated to the U.S from France in her 20s, she knit all her own clothes growing up and passed that skill over to Juleah at a young age. Using that skill, JuleahXart taught Knitting 101 over at The Bakery during their recent fiber art show, “Interlaced: Celebrating Women’s Work”, which Juleah’s work was also featured in! It was a huge honor and full-circle moment for our founder, JuleahXart.

During this workshop, students learned how to cast on, the knit stitch, and how to finish a project a.k.a “the closing loop”. Mainly everyone was a total beginner to knitting, so we mainly focused on the fundamentals of how to actually create a knit stitch for the majority of the class. JuleahXart will be doing another Knitting 101 Workshop with The Bakery in April 2023 and we are so excited for this ongoing venture!
