Ali Pate
How a Passion for Fiber Arts turned into a Mission of Goodness!
Join Ali Pate from Road Trip Sock Yarn® for a relaxed Chat about her lifelong passion for fiber arts and how yarn dyeing became her “thing” as she runs her one-person, home-based studio! We will also learn about her mission to create a more environmentally friendly dyeing process. Ali wholeheartedly believes that every small, positive action contributes to a larger impact, which inspired her to launch her Greater Front Range Dye Practices.
The thrill of a good road trip often fuels her inspiration for dye creations. However, giving back to the community is a top priority and key motivator in her collection development. Along with her commitment to environmental sustainability and community connection, Ali has a deep love for animals. She’s excited to share details of the non-profits she’s collaborated with on her journey to foster positive change.
Join us for this upbeat Fiberside Chat in this season of Thanksgiving! In true Ali style, she will make a monetary donation to a worthy not-for-profit with dollars generated from this event. Let’s get our yarn balls rolling together!
This is a live Zoom Event on Sunday, November 23rd at 1:00 pm EST, 12:00 pm CST, 11:00 am MST, 10:00 am PST
This Fiberside Chat will be recorded. A link to the recording will be available for one week and shared with registered attendees only.

Alicia Plummer
Statements without Words: How Fashion gives Voice
Alicia Plummer believes that everything you knit tells a story. That there are words, memories, and feelings in every single stitch, worked into the fabric by your very own hands. Our stories are never only our own, but shared experiences. Join Alicia as she turns the pages of fashion- not solely personal style-but a mode of communication. She will reflect on how her personal style has transformed over the years, sharing photos and fun memories while also connecting them to her work as a knitwear designer. This talk will be full of cringey moments, clarifying moments, and most of all, relatable moments. You will find connection and warmth in this Fiberside Chat!
Bio:

She transcribes metaphors and stories through texture and stitch, drawing inspiration from personal experiences, memories, and feelings. When she is not knitting, she is busy spending time with her family, exploring the outdoors, renovating her 1800s home in Midcoast Maine, or reading. She also loves animals and hugs.
