I'm stepping out of the studio this summer, and away from my regular skill-based knitting tutorials, so I can present a few more casual, general lessons pertaining to knitting. The entire series will be available to watch in the viewer below and on my You Tube channel. New videos will go live at 10 a.m. (Pacific Time) each Thursday from June 24 - August 26, 2021.

WELCOME
