Knitting Tutor
25
I will tutor you in knitting, wherever you are in your knitting journey! I will ask you about your knitting experience and your knitting goals ahead of time, and I will come to class prepared to help you meet those goals. Here's some examples:
* You have never knit and are scared to try. I can teach you casting on, knitting and purling, and binding off. With some practice, you can use these skills to make stretchy square textiles, such as scarves or dish cloths.
* You are trying a new pattern and you're stuck or frustrated. I can give you tailored advice in reading your pattern, avoiding mistakes, and fixing existing mistakes.
* You've knit a few times and now you want to learn something new and fun. I can teach you a new technique that interests you and suggest patterns in which to use it.
* You've knit a few times but aren't pleased with the results. I can give you tips on how to make your finished pieces look more professional, via material choices, knitting tricks, and finishing techniques.
* You want to get started designing your own patterns. I can help you design and knit your first garment without using a pattern.
* You have a pattern, but you want to modify it to fit your needs. I can help you adjust sizing, add or remove elements, or swap out motifs to help you create a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
Training & Qualifications
I have been knitting for over 20 years. My particular specialties are stuffed animals and doll clothes. I have also designed and knit countless (human) mittens and gloves, hats and scarves. Lately I've been learning more about various colorwork techniques beyond fair isle, including double knitting, two color brioche, intarsia, and learning to knit two-handed.
Availability & Preferences
Evenings or weekends work best for me. I can sometimes do early morning, especially if on video.
