Learn to knit!

25


25 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Nov 03, 2016

I can teach anything from the basics of the knit and purl stitches to detail work in finishing techniques. If I had to pick mt most challenging project, I would say a pair of socks in which the yarn was twisted the wrong way. The longest project I've ever done took me 1.5 years and resulted in a dress I wear every Christmas that I can. I've created some truly strange objects, including a soda can cozy. Basically, you name it, I can teach you the skills needed to make it.

Some of my favorite techniques to teach:
-Cables
-Unique or different cast-on and bind-off techniques
-Brioche
-Basic lace stitches
-Sizing adjustments for knitting patterns
-Pattern abbreviations and chart reading
-The basic knit and purl (can't go wrong with the basics!)

I love teaching people new techniques, so feel free to ask if you want to learn something specific!

Training & Qualifications


I've been knitting since I was seven years old and have published three of my own original designs. I've taken classes from several internationally renowned designers, and I would love to share my knowledge!

About Rina Rose

I'm a senior undergrad psychology student with a minor in Spanish. I love to knit and spin yarn (both services I provide), I love to play with my dogs, and I love to pretend that I know how to sing, h...eh. I used to play cello and still have a soft spot for it, and I love music in general. I want to get more into cosplay and costume making, and I'd love to learn other craft skills like metalworking, leatherworking, etc. I'd love to work out a trade for any of these skills! I like to paint my nails but I'm not a professional by any means; at some point, I would love to get them professionally done, since I've never had nail enhancements and I'm curious about having acrylics or gels, especially for special events and such. I also have chronic back pain/back problems with the muscles along the sides of my spine so any chiropractic work or massage work would be very welcome. I've dabbled in dance (ballet, modern, jazz, contemporary, tap, and minimal ballroom), and at some point I want to learn how to swing dance because it looks like so much fun! I also love to ski, and I learned how to ski from an Olympic gold medalist (Deb Armstrong, '84). I miss shredding it up on the slopes, and I may end up offering a service here if I can manage to get lift tickets this year. I also have a betta fish named Mutiny, and I really love educating people about betta care since there are so many misconceptions out there! Feel free to message me about any of my services. I'm usually pretty flexible with trades!show more
