In-Person Knitting Lesson (1 hr)

25


25 per hour - - Posted Sep 25, 2017

Want to learn to knit? I'll meet you in the public place of your choosing and teach you all the basics! I have 18 years of experience knitting everything from socks, blankets, baby clothes, sweaters, hats, and toys. If you can imagine it, I've made it! I can provide materials for you or advise you on what to buy.

I can help no matter what your experience level. If you are starting from scratch or are just struggling with a new technique. If you have a project in mind, I can help you figure out how to make it, even if you don't have a pattern. If you do have a pattern, I can help you read it.

So, how about it? Time to make those comfy knit clothes of your dreams!

Training & Qualifications


I am an expert knitter with 18 years of experience making every variety of knit object. I taught knitting in college to all sorts of people, including folks with special needs. I am not a teacher, but come from a long line of them so I have a bit of a knack :)

Availability & Preferences


Best times are weekdays between 4PM and 830PM. Some weekends (typically need advance notice)

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

Alyssa needed help with WordPress. She was warm, eager to learn and extremely pleasant to work with. I got her blog squared away and left the session ...feeling a little better about the world. I would work with her again without hesitation. show more

About Alyssa W

I'm an EHS professional, knitter, reader, artist, and parent in Ithaca, NY. I love to create, either through knitting, painting, doodling, or experimenting with food or kombucha! I love my job, and... enjoy talking to people about Environmental, Safety, or Sustainability issues. I'm a certified safety professional (CSP) and am currently working in product Stewardship, to help companies be more responsible for their products. I grew up in upstate NY to a family of nurses and teachers. After spending a while in New England, I'm back to raise my child and try and live a happier life than I was before. We just moved to Ithaca and are in the process of buying a house. I am so excited to create the life I want to live finally, after doing mostly nothing but work for my career so far. Spending time with my family and forging relationships that bring me joy are my main life goals now.show more
