Knitting with Ellen D.

Whether you want to begin knitting or crocheting, or already love to, there’s always something new to learn. I love all aspects of knitting and crochet - color, texture, and creation. And I love sharing all this with my students. I personally enjoy the math of it, and can help make it easy if math is not your “thing”. Would you like to learn basic skills, hone current ones , or enhance your experience with new techniques? If you're in the middle of a project and need help, or have specifice technique(s) you'd like to work on, consider booking a 15 minute class, or a series of them. Choose from these subjects, or tell me what you’d like to work on: • Reading the Yarn Ball Band - Why the information on it is helpful and important • How to use Ravelry - A knitting community full of useful information • Fiber Math…Yes you can - How to understand gauge and yarn weights/quantities. • How to Read and Translate Charts • Help with a Current Project – Understanding a pattern, technique, or correcting a mistake • Knitting Lace and Openwork Basics – How to do increases and decreases • Bead Crochet – Crochet necklaces and bracelets, or embellish knitting or crochet projects with beads. • Hyperbolic Crochet – For those that love math or want to learn how to crochet curves from a flat surface (think of coral, or the edge of a curly lettuce leaf like kale) • Your wish list of knitting or crochet skills… I have been teaching since 2012 and am available to teach lessons online and in NYC. I learned teaching skills from some of the most loved and respected teachers in well-known stores, teaching venues, and events. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals, and have fun while we work together. As an added bonus, I teach both right and left handed as needed. Do you need a time, place, or topic not listed here? Just ask. We can probably work something out. Enrich your fiber crafting experience. What would you like to learn?
