Unsure whether Zoom classes are for you? Here's a testimonial from one of my students:
I truly enjoyed this Colourwork class. Rebecca’s instruction was extremely clear and she was able to very effectively communicate all the instructions and guidance I needed even via the Zoom platform! I learned skills that have opened up all kinds of new possibilities for my knitting project choices! Super happy I took her class! V.J.

Is steeking on your "learn to do wish list" but you're feeling a little daunted by this technique, you are not alone.
Taking a pair of scissors to your knitting can feel scary, especially if it is on a whole sweater! Fear not, over the two sessions you will be guided through two handed Fair Isle and how to catch your weaves confidently and not tangle your yarn!
In the second session we will STEEK! and not only that, we'll also cover best practices for picking up stitches and button bands.
