About Laura B.

5.0

(4)

Hi! My name is Laura and I have been teaching professionally, in one capacity or another since I graduated from college in 1998. I currently design knit and crochet patterns for Coats & Clark (the largest craft manufacturer in the world). My mother taught me to knit and crochet at such a young age that I don’t remember a time when I haven’t known how to knit or crochet. In 2010 I began teaching needle-crafts, as well as selling the same items I’d been making and giving away to loved ones for many years. I also began creating and selling hand spun yarn. I have been developing and designing patterns since 2013. Once you start knitting, the possibilities are endless!

Laura was wonderful! She seemed very knowledgeable and sincerely interested in my learning knitting strategies. I will be contacting her next week for another lesson. I already have some questions. Karin

I purchased this session for my Mom as a Christmas present. Laura was very personable, patient, and informative. She gave several tips and tricks. She listens well too. I would highly recommend her as an instructor.
