Learn Knitting with a Craft Yarn Council Certified Teacher with 15 years teaching experience

Are you looking to start or advance your skills in knitting? I am here to help! I am a Craft Yarn Council Certified Level 1 and 2 knitting instructor and teacher and have been working as a professional knitting instructor since 2010. I have experience working with students aged 8 through adult. Wherever you are in your knitting journey, whether it be learning the basics of knitting and purling or working on advanced skills such as intarsia, short rows, brioche, or double knitting, I am here to help you reach your knitting goals. Lessons are focused on the specific goals of the student. I am happy to work on your pattern of choice and can also recommend patterns based on your level and desired goals. I am also able to help with pattern interpretation and problem solving in knitting projects. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to speaking with you soon and sharing my love of this engaging and beautiful art form with you. When you book lessons, please remember to provide a phone number and email so I can contact you before lessons to make a personal introduction and make sure you have all the necessary materials for your first lesson. Lessons are based on student interest and skill and it is important for the teacher to make a one to one contact to personalize and prepare your lesson. Thanks in advance and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

(100)

I have been working as a knitting and crochet teaching artist since 2010 and as an English as a Second Language Instructor since 2008. My lessons are always student focused and encourage you to practice the specific skill during the lesson while giving you the opportunity to ask questions and develop your skill set. Please note, all lesson times are subject to weekly availability. If you would like lessons at my location in New Jersey, purchase the lesson as 'online' and the exact location will be sent via email after purchasing lessons. Student lessons are done out of the public library near my location if you would like to meet me at my location. For security reasons, I cannot list my specific location on this public facing website. Please don't hesitate to message me about any questions in regards to this.
