Testimonials
“This course is for knitters of all skill levels who want to understand the fabric that they are creating. Tonia provides an explanation of stitch anatomy before showing you step by step how to fix a stitch and sections of knitting. This will be a great reference for any knitter’s library. I highly recommend it.”
“I’ve only finished the course up to the first survey and have already learned so much! I’m fairly new to knitting and feel like I am getting a great start thanks to all your videos.”
“Tonia, I’ve been watching your Fixing Your Knitting Mistakes videos and they are fabulous! I’ve been doing basic knitting for 20 years but never really understood what I was doing and lived in dread of trying to fix my mistakes. I’ve watched quite a few videos on knitting and yours are the most clear, the visuals are the best (that i-cord yarn makes the stitches SO visible) and your narration is natural, well-timed and clear. I have already learned so much from you. I definitely want to keep receiving your emails. Thank you for sharing your skills and passion with us!”
“I love the Fix Your Knitting Mistakes course. I have referred back to it several times and was able to pick up a dropped stitch instead of taking out several rows. Learning to read your knitting is a game changer for a new knitter like me. I still have much to learn but the course has helped me tremendously.”
“Tonia, I can’t thank you enough for this course! I had only been knitting about a year when I went through it. It was a game changer for me. Understanding and reading my stitches gave me so much more confidence to challenge myself and then knowing I could fix my mistakes made knitting more calming and enjoyable. Thanks again.”
“I loved knitting the practice swatches. It really helped my brain to have it all in my hands.”
“Thanks to this course I learned first of all how to read my knitting and I am less scared of fixing any mistakes. The swatches were very useful to practice on and I am now more confident in knitting lace knowing I can fix anymistake I make.”
