Which subject/technique do you enjoy<br />
teaching the most and why?<br />
Professional Finishing Techniques is definitely the most<br />
enjoyable and rewarding to teach, as there is always the<br />
guarantee that those on the course will go away having<br />
learnt something from the day. Also, the techniques taught<br />
on the day are used by every knitter, whether they make<br />
toys, garments or accessories.<br />
What do you enjoy the most about teaching<br />
workshops?<br />
Teaching workshops means I can take my skills and<br />
pass them onto others, as well as the teaching I also try<br />
to inspire the group to try new techniques or give them<br />
different ideas to explore. For me, spending the day in<br />
the company of fellow knitters rarely feels like work and<br />
so it’s very enjoyable.<br />
Are you planning any new workshop subjects<br />
for <strong>2018</strong>?<br />
I’ve started teaching a Brioche and Mosaic knitting course,<br />
both of which are being seen in recent collections and I am<br />
planning on expanding both courses for further teaching<br />
in <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
