“Genevieve is a fabulous teacher! Brand new to knitting, I first met her for a lesson where I was met with lots of easy to understand instruction and an easygoing demeanor...making the knitting session fun! Since that first private lesson, I have enjoyed a couple of beginner classes taught by Genevieve. She has a great way of explaining specific stitches/projects and various important things to consider. Genevieve is above all extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind...and always willing to go the extra mile to help." -- Debbie M.

About Genevieve

   My teaching style is enthusiastic and encouraging - I believe anyone can learn to knit, so long as they have the desire to do so!
  Let me help you relax and enjoy the health benefits and peace of mind that knitting brings. 
  I'm here for you whether you're wound up tight, have a ball that's become knotted, dropped stitches, created mystery holes, or just need a cheerleader or guide.
   I offer a variety of knitting services including:
* classes
* knitting help
* knitting coaching
