About Kelly
I learned knitting from Grandmothers at age 8. I’ve done crafts and knitting and off for years, and really came back to it over the past few years and want to share this relaxing skill with others.
I like to teach people “hand knitting” first, in small groups. Our first projects focus on beautiful, achievable pieces like shawls and blankets. After that we move on to advanced skills in knit and purl, then into crochet.
I’m casual and hands on in class. I’ll sit with you and help you.
Happy Knitting to All!!!
