Good Evening Everyone!
Our presenter this evening is Kira Dulaney. She is the designer behind Kira K Designs, a line of original knitting and crocheting patterns with a streamlined and eminently wearable aesthetic. Kira’s designs include garments and accessories featuring clean lines and intriguing details that are both interesting to make and easy to wear. Kits with indie dyed yarn and any necessary notions make it easier to knit or crochet a successfully stunning project. Kira has been teaching fiber arts classes and hosting crafty events in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond since 2002. As a teacher, her focus is on providing valuable information in a stress-free environment, and supporting students through the learning process. You can connect with Kira on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Ravelry, and feel free to tag her in any posts about projects made with her designs. Kira lives in Oakland with her wife and two dogs, all of whom cameo on her social media posts from time to time.
Welcome, Kira!
