Meet the Instructor
Sophia Wetzel (she/they) has been an avid knitter since 2020. Like many, she took up knitting during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic. What she expected to be a passing interest became an enduring and cherished part of her life. After moving to Chicago in 2024, Sophia became an active member of the local knitting community, attending her beloved Fiber Friends meetups and visiting the many wonderful shops around the city.

Sophia has a love for colorwork knitting, despite its less-than stellar reputation. She loves the process of finding the right colors to make a pattern shine and watching as the designs and images come to life on her needles.

When Sophia isn't knitting, she is a PhD student in Music History and Theory at the University of Chicago, where she researches and writes about video game music. In September of 2026, Sophia presented at the Music, Craft, and the Fibre Arts conference in Ontario, combining her academic work with her work as a fiber artist.
