Commonly asked questions?

Why don't you teach group classes anymore?
Teaching a group of 5 was good but I felt like I wasn't giving everyone my full attention or helping you as best as I could have been. It's why I decided to do one on one classes.

I'd like to learn how to knit with my friend?
That's awesome, yes I can teach both of you at the same time. Please let me know when you book though.

Why is yarn included with the first lesson but not the other lessons?
I have included it to make it easier for you, so you don't have to worry about finding the right supplies.  Also because there are different names for yarn weights.

Did you add a mark up to the yarn?
No, the cost of the supplies are what I paid for them.

Do you have different colours of yarn for the first lesson?
Yes there are a handfull of different colours

Can I bring my own materials?
Yes you can bring your own materials to the first class if you'd like to. You will need to bring 10mm knitting needles, 2 ball of chunky yarn 

Do you have online classes?
Not at the moment sorry, I am looking at this with options to make them available for everyone.
