For a couple years now I've been trying to get into the knitting 101 classes here but my schedule is such a mess that I've not been able to make it work. Finally, once I found out that I would soon be an auntie for the first time, I decided on private lessons with Denny.
I was so looking forward to the experience of being a student rather than a teacher (which is what I am). The staff is so warm, inviting and sincere. There are no airs about any of them.
Denny is a phenomenal teacher - so patient, non-judgmental, remembers absolutely everything, and really tries to apply the knowledge in a relevant way for the student.
In a very short time, I had knit a hat for my sweet little nephew and was being encouraged to jump into the next project. Everyone there (including the folks just sitting and knitting) were just as excited about the hat (and the nephew) as I was!
The support is heart-melting, the people are amazing, and I am totally hooked. I'm practically doing two lessons a week and just cannot get enough. I feel so confident after just a couple lessons and that is the sign of a good teacher. No. Sorry. A *GREAT* teacher.
I love these guys.
