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.

Holli is one of the best instructors in our solar system.

Stretchy Twisted Bind Off for Ribbing

This is my latest favourite way to bind off for toe-up socks. There’s a spring built into this bind off that allows it to stretch over the heel when pulling on socks.
