Welcome!
KNIT-A-BIT originated in the Seattle area in
1979 and moved to Oregon City in 1993. Our goal since the demise of the Passap
factory in Switzerland has been to keep machines running and provide continuing
education for Passap knitters, which is the primary reason for Pacifically
Passap. The first Pacifically Passap seminar was held in 1999 to bring together
Passap knitters on the West Coast and also to replace the annual Passap
Evolution seminar once held by now defunct Passap America, Inc. Little did we
know the response would be so enormous.
Pacifically Passap has grown to include five
core instructors plus additional guest instructors. Classes at the seminar
range from Passap 101 for beginners, to advanced knit techniques, and can even
include instruction in techniques to embellish your knits.
There’s a great camaraderie in being in a
group of knitters that all speak the same language (Passap), and the energy
level is exciting to see. Come join us at Pacifically Passap and experience a
weekend of learning, fun, and meeting new friends.
