This is a very clearly written pattern and it was a pleasure to knit!
The pattern is so well written, love it!
As a teacher I love your calm demeanour and I think you have excellent communication skills. You are able to handle a group, get and keep their attention and deliver content in a clear and concise way. That is not an easy task.
… keep up the great pattern designs! We’re fans of your work over here…
Holli is a great teacher and has a very friendly personality. I’ll look for her classes again next year. Thank you Holli ~ I so enjoyed meeting you.

Kids Knit Lit: Stories to Inspire Young Makers

Class
Knitting Under the Sea
Get ready to dive deep into the ocean without getting wet! This virtual weekend of “Knitting Under the Sea” will be a fun-filled voyage where you’ll master mermaid-worthy stitches, craft a tiny crab, learn about kelp forests from an emerging expert, and prepare blackened fish tacos.
My session is Go Fish Duplicate Stitch Party!

Guess Who?
Wild fingers, bright colours, long life – who wouldn’t want to wear these great gloves? They have a unique construction that creates a very long life line as part of the thumb gusset.
