Manager Project

SUSAN TIEDEMANN

Resume for Project Editor - Yarn Group position at Interweave LLC

Requisition #186 on ResumeBook360

I have been a prolific knitter for the past 15 years. I taught

myself to knit using a how-to booklet and was thrilled to finish my

first scarf even with all its holes, dropped stitches and accidental

increases.

I quickly became hooked on fiber arts and have been knitting, among

other techniques, ever since. I enjoy challenges and so I am always

seeking ways to improve my knitting and increase my skills. Over

the years I have become quite proficient at pattern reading, basic

stitches, felting, circular knitting (moebius, two socks on one

needle, one sock on two needles, etc.) cable knitting, entrelac,

multi-colored patterns with texture, socks, stranded knitting, lace

work and sweater construction such as armhole shaping, sleeves,

necklines, seams and blocking.

I also belong to local knitting groups and have enjoyed coordinating

group projects and assisting fellow knitters with:

. Yarn and pattern selection

. Techniques to obtain gauge

. Reading a patterns

. Tips for working and successfully completing a pattern

. Blocking

. Assembly and care

I would be more than happy to provide images of my projects and

answer any questions that you may have. I look forward to hearing

from you.

Thanks,

Susan Tiedemann
