Thanks, Erin. For the great introductory knitting lesson.

Erin is a very patient , lovely teacher. I enjoyed the classes.

Erin is wonderful! She is so sweet and patient with my son as he learns crochet; he really enjoys her instruction. Highly recommend!

Erin was very calm and patient with me as I tried to set up my webcam and learn to crochet

Erin is a great listener and was able to meet me where I am in the process of learning crochet.  I look forward to continuing learning from her.

Our lesson with Erin was super fun!  She came to us and tailored the lesson for our needs.  After some practice we plan on scheduling some more!  Thank you, Erin! 

Erin was professional, knowledgeable and kind. I am an intermediate crocheter but was having difficulty understanding instructions to make an afghan. I’d purchased all the yarn, and there were no schematics. Erin worked with me and even sent a short video she’d made for me showing the last three stitches, with a pointer, to indicate where the hook was supposed to be inserted and brought out. I was very impressed! I would definitely ask for Erin to help me again.

In this video, we will learn how to crochet into the back bump of the chain stitch. This is a great technique to learn if you are interested in Tunisian crochet or would like to have a nice, clean edge line along the bottom of your crocheted fabric.
