Loved your clear instructions and the interesting design elements kept me engaged. I was so pleased with how it was turning out that I was driven to finish!!
I love so many of the patterns that are featured on your website.
Holli is a great teacher and has a very friendly personality. I’ll look for her classes again next year. Thank you Holli ~ I so enjoyed meeting you.
… the patterns are very clear and spell out specific techniques for things like decreasing etc. when they are important for the appearance of the project. Gotta love that!
Love all of these patterns, … you’re so good at deceptive (and really smart) simplicity!

How to Swatch Smarter: A Knitting Tip from Experience

Class
Knitting Under the Sea
Get ready to dive deep into the ocean without getting wet! This virtual weekend of “Knitting Under the Sea” will be a fun-filled voyage where you’ll master mermaid-worthy stitches, craft a tiny crab, learn about kelp forests from an emerging expert, and prepare blackened fish tacos.
My session is Go Fish Duplicate Stitch Party!
Pattern
5 Point Bomber
The 5 Point Bomber features bold colour blocking and narrow stripes, which are inspired by Canada’s iconic Hudson Bay Company blankets. The wide contrast waist slides perfectly into a kangaroo pouch pocket, adding a flattering visual effect.
