Speaker: Kiersten Darling

The Art of Saying Yes (Then Figuring it Out)


Whether it's a 30-foot community-focused crochet mural, tiny knit hats for miniature liquor bottles, or 240 felted can koozies on a tight deadline, commissioned fiber art rarely comes with a pattern. This presentation explores how unusual requests become successful projects through creativity, problem-solving, and a willingness to say "yes," then figuring it out.

Along the way, Kiersten Darling will share the design process behind several very different fiber arts projects and discuss how thinking beyond the basics can turn even the strangest ideas into reality.

No matter what kind of maker you are - from a steadfast sweater knitter to a cast-on-aholic in every craft imaginable - you'll leave inspired to look at your makes a little differently and reimagine what's possible.


Planned Vendors:


Interested in carpooling?  Check the Madison Knitter's Guild thread on Ravelry or the Member's Discussions page on the MKG Website. 

Effective May 05, 2025: The safety and security of our members, speakers, and vendor and/or vendor staff are our most important priorities.  We ask that if you are feeling ill, have tested positive for COVID, or have come in contact with someone who has COVID, that you forgo attendance at MKG events until you are well.
