About Cynthia

In a very relaxed environment away from the distractions that plague your learning effort, you will acquire the skills necessary to take you on your Making Journey.

I've been a quilter since 1990 and knitted and spun since 2006. You can do it, it's not hard it just takes a little practice! The better you get, the more challenging project you can tackle!

I was a top-teacher for Martingale (quilt book publisher) for many years and taught quiltmaking classes at Joann's and Michaels, as well as many quilt shops (sadly they've all retired!)

Learn the basics and become a Maker for a lifetime!

Meeting new people.

I also recognize that not everyone learns the same way. Some will 'get it' some will not. It's important that as teacher's we recognize the why behind a person wanting to learn to knit and sew. With personal attention you can learn faster!

Knitters are a friendly bunch. When a teacher is busy, other knitters tend to step in to help. When I managed a shop I found that knitters (and newbies) did not always fit into a schedule, and drop ins required that I stepped in more often.

I took a knitting class in the 80s. I completed a sweater in 4 weeks and a vest for my husband. I put down knitting until 2005. I managed a LYS in 2011, working with yarn reps and local teachers. In 2017 I visited Knit Yarn and Fiber Studio in Cumming and I call that my knitting home. I continue to take classes to learn new things.

I've made everyone hats, cowls, fingerless mitts, and too many shawls to count.

About the lesson

At first contact, I give them brief overview of our goals and expectations. Supply list is limited.

At our first meeting I give them a folder with our goals and some handouts that I add to every week. I also list websites that they can go to for after hours help (like YouTube!) for visual assistance.

We work on the basics. Casting on, Knit and Purl.

Once we see that there is consistancy in their stitches, I encourage them to work on a scarf with a pretty and affordable yarn so they can start and finish a project.

Kids from 12 and up. Young moms, older moms and grand-moms...

Stay focussed. Commit to knit 1 hour a day until you learn the basics. Relax and don't forget to breathe!

Roswell Lavender Festival. Held in June. I've met the nicest people there!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is your motivation? Why do you want to knit. Do you have a lot of hobbies and jump around a lot (do you have time to knit?)

Oddly most people start knitting when their lives are already busy...it's the Oasis...

Details

Since I work with a local shop, all class fees are paid directly to them, and the standard fee is $65 for 4 weeks. (I try to be flexible so if you have to 'miss' a week, we can make up the time so that you get 4 classes.
