What the Pattern Doesn’t Tell You

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Knitting patterns are like recipes, full of terminology and instructions that assume you know things you might not yet have encountered in your knitting experience. Join me to learn all of my tips and techniques that will make your projects even better. I’ll share with you the details that aren’t in the pattern.


Students will learn how to choose patterns and supplies to knit with confidence, cast on without a knot, make the cast off edge square, how to start a shawl from a garter stitch tab and much much more. This class was developed as a response to all the questions that knitters ask me, so please come with your personal knitting questions.


Supplies required: Light colours of DK or worsted weight yarn and appropriate sized needles for swatching.


Cost $45

I'm Using You!

I need to confess this, I need to get it off my conscience now before you figure it out for yourself!

When you take one of my knitting classes I'm using you.

I use you to make me a better teacher. All my students have taught me something even the ones who didn't get a lot from my class.

The challenging students gave me even more.

They helped me to define my teaching style.
They made me test and practice techniques that were new to me.
They made me clarify my teaching goals.
They asked me hard questions that I had to do research to answer.
They taught me that I know more than I thought I did and that the 10,000 hours of sewing, millinery, knitting and designing have paid off with a treasure trove of knowledge that is invaluable to me in my quest to become a professional Knitter.

Thank you
