As a teacher I love your calm demeanour and I think you have excellent communication skills. You are able to handle a group, get and keep their attention and deliver content in a clear and concise way.  That is not an easy task.

It really is a cute little kid’s knit and Erika is wearing it again today. That’s 3 times this week. That’s already more than some sweaters have ever been worn.

Your patterns are always written well and easy to understand and to follow — not an easy task in an industry with little or no standards to follow.

Holli’s patterns are really well documented and she’s very generous with the information that she gives on her documentation.

I love your patterns! They are so much fun and unique. I learn a new technic every time I knit one of your patterns.

Stretchy Twisted Bind Off for Ribbing

Stretchy Twisted Bind Off for Ribbing

This is my latest favourite way to bind off for toe-up socks. There’s a spring built into this bind off that allows it to stretch over the heel when pulling on socks.

And I’ve got to say, I really quite like the zigzag effect when viewed from above.
