Join us for a conversation with Hannah Thiessen Howard about how communities generate creative spaces and support creatives. We will also learn more about the journal, her travels, and what is next for By Hand Serial.

Hannah Thiessen Howard has been working behind the scenes in the fiber industry for nearly two decades with some of your favorite brands: Malabrigo Yarns, Shibui Knits, KnitCrate, Bare Naked Wools, Shalimar Yarns and more. Through it all, her passion and commitment to the people who make and use fibers and fabrics has remained steady, and is showcased clearly in two books: Slow Knitting and Seasonal Slow Knitting. In 2022, Hannah took the helm as the new Editor of By Hand Serial, an independent magazine dedicated to telling the stories of makers and the places they call home. Visit studios, hear their stories, and explore their cities and countryside through the pages of this beautiful publication.

By Hand Serial is a series of beautiful, thoughtfully created Lookbooks, authored by Andrea Hungerford, a maker with a deep love of travel.

Andrea and the By Hand Serial team produced over 15 volumes from 2016 to 2022, each centered around a different location and exploring the creatives within.

The By Hand Serial books are knitting-forward, but have a mixed-craft focus across each book, featuring knitting and sewing patterns and projects for a variety of handcrafts.

Each issue highlights regional designers, makers, shops, interesting locations and more, making them wonderful travel guides for crafters and creatives.

This is a free workshop as part of the 2025 Create-A-Thon event. However, all proceeds from this workshop will go towards supporting K4P's mission.
