I just
wanted to say how much [your lace class]
meant to me, partly because it nurtured a
confidence in me that I can do lace knitting.
(You should see my sample piece--it's at least
24 inches long!)
But more
important than what you taught about lace, for
me, was your whole attitude of acceptance, of
optimism, plus your comments about negative
attitudes and their effects, both on the
individual and on the group. Your clear
self-confidence and self acceptance were a
joy.

(PS: I also am enjoying your book on all these
levels.)
Wanted to drop you a quick line from Michigan
Fiber Fest to let you know what a fabulous
experience I had being a student with you for
three days. Again I have to say that your style
of teaching and relating to people is what I
appreciated the most.

I learned so much today. You are a very
wonderful and gracious teacher and I would like
to take some more lessons. I appreciate your
being so down to earth. You're easy to be
around.

I just started knitting a lace shawl that I
tried at least a dozen times before with no
success. I could not master that chart. Now I'm
sailing through it after your workshops at
Creative Strands!
Now I like
charts! Thank you!

Our Knitting Guild met Thursday and there was a
discussion of lace knitting - I shared several
of your tips - everyone loved them! Thanks for a
great workshop. Looking forward more!

Just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful
weekend of classes. My head is spinning with all
the wonderful ideas you put in it. Just wish I
could knit as fast as the ideas popping in my
head. Can hardly wait to get home and try some.
When I decided to attend the festival, I decided
that if I was going to drive all the way from NC
I should take advantage of the opportunity and
take all four of your classes - a decision that
was well worth the drive. You are a fantastic
teacher and I learned so much from you. Will try
to catch your class when you come to Asheville
in the Spring for sure!

Thanks so much for the lace knitting class this
weekend. I immediately started working on a lace
scarf. I made everyone within my ten foot radius
look at the work I had done because I was so
proud! Now that I have the basic tools I will
definitely start exploring on my own. I look
forward to taking another one of your classes in
the city. Thanks again.

I really enjoyed learning to use wire with my
needles today. Thank you again for a most
enjoyable Saturday. I'll be keeping an eye out
for more of your classes.
Best,

I just had to write in and let you knowing how
much I am enjoying this class. I have never knit
before and had little hope that I might be
proficient in it so quickly, but Annie's style
of teaching is so flexible and open that she has
been able to get new knitters up and running on
projects that are challenging and inspiring.
Annie brings a
well rounded backround of knowledge and
experience to this class. But I have to say that
the best part about this class is that is FUN
FUN FUN!! I would love to take this course again
and since my friends and family are so impressed
I would like to invite them to join the
FUN.
Sincerely,
LB
I am so happy with the hat :) thanks for
teaching me an incredible skill.

Yours is an incredible site as a resource for
beginning knitters - and experienced knitters,
for that matter - who need to feel reassured
that knitting "wrong" is NOT wrong - just
different.

I can't wait to take whatever class you are
thinking of teaching at the Montpelier, VA Fiber
Festival in the fall.
