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.
I like to teach people “hand knitting” first, in small groups, starting with shawls and blankets.
Moving 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!!!
