About Kathy N.
5.0
(6)
Welcome. I’m Kathy. I live in Brighton, Michigan with my husband and small dog. We love traveling and being outdoors. Of course that’s when I’m not Knitting!
Knitting and instructing others plays a huge role in my life. I began knitting in my 30s having been inspired by a pair of knit socks I saw hanging in a LYS window. Since that day, I’ve made it my goal to learn everything I can about the art. I’m originally from New York where I had the opportunity to teach in that same LYS that first inspired me. I moved to Michigan in 2012 and I’ve been teaching at a LYS in the metro Detroit area for several years now. What I love most about teaching is the opportunity to share and inspire, and to watch others grow.
Knitting doesn’t have to be rigid or difficult. I love sharing the expertise I’ve developed to take the mystery away and replace it with confidence. There’s always more than one way to come at a common goal and my goal is to help you be the best knitter you can be. Your measure of success is individual to you. Come! Join me and see what I have to offer.

I was completely new to knitting when I began taking lessons with Kathy. Kathy taught me how to knit in a way that was fun and easy to understand. She suggested projects that helped me to learn without being overwhelmed and she was there to help me every step of the way. I am completely addicted to knitting now and Kathy is such a huge inspiration!

What a joy it was to first learn to knit, progress to simple projects and then on to intermediate projects with Kathy. She is the most positive and understanding instructor. Her personality makes things so stressless for the student. Kathy is such a happy individual and knows all the tips and tricks to accomplish the task at hand. She truly is an outstanding teacher and makes lessons FUN. I highly recommend Kathy teach you whatever knitting project you want to accomplish.

Kathy instills both confidence and skill as she helps you navigate through patterns line by line! She is so knowledgeable about fiber selection, pattern choices and the finished project. I have grown as a knitter by leaps and bounds under her instruction - all this with a warm encouraging style! Enjoy your class
