A bit about me . . .
I spent two decades as a marketing communications professional before taking my knitting passion full-time. After working at a New York yarn store teaching beginners, I'm now teaching my own way—focusing on building your confidence and skills systematically and mindfully.
How did I get here? One day I bought an expensive knitted poncho, examined it closely, and realized it was just a rectangle. "I can do that," I thought, and headed straight to a yarn store where the yarn was organized by color. I was breathless—everything was gorgeous and I wanted to touch it all. I bought a bunch of yarn, learned a stitch, and began my first project.
It was a disaster. Wrong yarn, wrong stitch, wrong project.
“The class was great, Rosanne explained the techniques and stitches very clearly and thoroughly. She obviously knows her stuff. As I advance I look forward to more classes! Thank you!”
That failure taught me everything about how NOT to teach knitting. After 20+ years of knitting and 5+ years of instruction, I've built my teaching around one principle: help knitters walk before they run. I want you to become self-sufficient and gain the knowledge to match yarn to patterns to needles—so you create projects you'll actually love, not shove in a drawer.
When I'm not teaching, I'm usually knitting housewares for gifts or for myself. I can’t get enough of pillows, blankets, guest towels and even tea cozies.
