Five stars!!! Nicole carefully deciphered the complex—to me— directions for an Aran sweater, troubleshooting errors in the directions. She then patiently walked me through the pattern, sharing tips on how best to keep track of where I was in the process. When I got home I was able to jump right in and begin and the project is looking great. Thank you, Nicole!! I’d happily turn to her expertise in knitting and teaching when needed next time. She is lovely and fun and easy to be with.
