I am addicted to yarn and all things knitting!
Reading patterns with mysterious symbols, charts, and abbreviations is very intimidating. The biggest struggle I see with knitters is that they are fearful of trying something new because they are not confident about their ability to learn a new craft.
I have spent the last several years helping countless people become accomplished knitters. Nothing fills me with more pride than when I see my students fix their own mistakes and start and finish projects on their own.
I love to see friendships building between my students. It's another reason why they keep coming back!

Pick one that's best for you, or come to both:
Tuesday, October 10 @ 7pm ETYou'll join me live on Zoom for approximately two hours of beginner-friendly knitting instruction. We'll work on the basics together, and you'll have opportunities to ask questions as we go. You'll also receive access to the workshop replay for one week.
The live workshop gives you the opportunity to learn alongside me, ask questions, and get started on your first knitting project.
The optional $17 Rookie to Ready Mini Course takes your learning further with step-by-step video tutorials, printable instructions, and lifetime access. You can revisit the lessons whenever you need extra practice or a refresher!
Not at all! The live workshop is FREE, and the mini course is an optional $17 add-on.
However, if you'd love to continue learning after the workshop and have instructional videos available whenever you need them, the mini course is a great investment in your knitting journey!
Absolutely not! This workshop is designed for complete beginners. Even if you've never picked up knitting needles before, I'll guide you step by step, starting with your very first stitch!
You'll need yarn, knitting needles, and a few basic knitting notions. I'll provide a supply list so you'll know exactly what to bring. If you already have supplies, you may be able to use them!
No problem! You'll have access to the workshop recording for one week afterward. You can watch, pause, and replay the instruction as often as you'd like during that time.
You're in the right place! Many beginners struggle with casting on, managing their yarn, or understanding their stitches. I'll break everything down into easy-to-follow steps and help you discover that knitting doesn't have to be frustrating!
Everyone knits at their own pace! During our time together, you'll learn the techniques needed to create your potholder. You may need a little additional time to finish your project, and that's perfectly fine!
