| Instructor Bio: | I learned to knit the day my son left for college at UNL in 2012—and I haven’t put the needles down since. As a former Home Economics teacher, I’ve always loved helping others experience that “ah ha!” moment—whether they’re learning something brand new or building on a skill. My passion is guiding people to become confident, creative makers who carry this craft with them for life. In 2015, I opened Knit-Paper-Scissors in the basement of my home. Four years later, we moved into our bright and welcoming studio space in Williamsburg Village, where community, creativity, and lifelong learning come together every day. |
