The KO crew, as I affectionately call them, is a precious, genuine, kind & thoughtful community. Each of these knitters is so special to me and we always love welcoming others. When you knit with me, you’ll be working from a fully edited & formatted pattern along with extra guidance from techniques to sizing to construction. My knits are held in a platform called slack. They are highly organized and I stay in touch regularly to make sure I’m available for questions & feedback. If you love to knit, enjoy camaraderie and don’t mind taking photos of your FO’s…come on in and join us.
