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.
This was such a fun pattern to knit Holli, and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed knitting one of your well written patterns.
I love all your patterns and they are a joy to knit—they are beautiful and classic patterns
I just want to say what a GREAT teacher you are. You really are fabulous.
The collection is unbelievable. Exquisite yarns paired with stunning designs. On-trend yet classic.

Stretchy Twisted Bind Off for Ribbing

And I’ve got to say, I really quite like the zigzag effect when viewed from above.
