Join us at our Learn to Knit Pop Up! to learn about knitting with Annissa Essaibi George, owner of the Stitch House in Dorchester.

This discussion will cover all you need to know about knitting, crochet and fiber arts. Whether you're a long-time knitter or just curious about the craft, this is a session to join. Discussion will include a a presentation, discussion and touch and feel - and sampling of fibers and samples of knitwear. Already a hand-crafter? Bring your current project to work on during our time together. We might ask you for a little show and tell!

Then consider joining us for a Knit 101 - 3 week intro class April 6, 13 and 27.

Please note that this is NOT an instructional class. This is intended to provide a general overview of knitting as a fiber art and a sneak peek at what you would learn during an instructional class.

Presented by Annissa from Stitch House in Dorchester. 

Annissa Essaibi George is the owner of Stitch House. At age 6 her mom stayed up late teaching her to sew her first project - a Barbie skirt! She never stopped sewing and you would find her late at night, throughout high school and college, sewing. As a teenager she was national finalist in a McCall’s Pattern Company sewing contest. In college her and her roommate would create an assembly line and sew hair scrunchies to sell in the dorms to fund take-out dinner or a night on the town. After college Annissa had a small line of custom, special occasion children’s clothing featured in several retail shops. Annissa made her own prom dress, wedding gown and all her bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses. She’s also made countless quilts and hand-crafted gifts for her friends and family. Although sewing is her passion she enjoys the portability of knitting and crocheting and always has several projects going at once.
