Teaching knitting in a group setting has taught me so much, and I am so grateful to all the folks that came to learn something new and challenging! It’s no joke, trying to get your fingers to do all new things makes you feel like a baby learning to walk, except we didn’t have much of an ego going as babies… the patience and vulnerability required to learn with others is something beautiful to behold.
Time permitting, I’ll be teaching again with the free school, a repeat of Knitting 1: Foundations and Fundamentals, and also, I hope, a Knitting 2 course that will cover knitting in the round, and possibly lace and cables.
Over the spring and summer I’ll be offering one-on-one and small group classes, all sliding scale or skills-exchange. I’ll have everything from absolute beginner to workshops on specific skills, like hats, socks, lace, cables, and color work.
And in the meantime, now that I’ve learned how to make video tutorials on YouTube, I’ll be building out a library for beginner knitters! Hopefully, I’ll also figure out how to make my set-up a bit more stable so the camera doesn’t shake every time I bump my desk… [grimace emoji]
I also plan to add more patterns to Ravelry! I have a scarf that I intended to write up and publish a decade ago, but life happens… you can take a look at the washcloth, now.
And hopefully, I will also have the time to get in the occasional knitting-related blog post, whether skill-building related, calls to action, or personal essays.
But keep an eye on the space, and I will try to share on socials (bluesky and Insta) and do my best not perish from being seen!
Happy crafting! Don’t forget to take good care of yourself <3
