Your videos are so good. I wish such had been available on the net back when I was struggling to teach myself to knit. I still am appreciating learning new techniques, though. You’ve taken the fear out of fair isle knit for me. It looks so much easier than I ever imagined it to be. Thank you!

Pretty much the only reason I came to work today was to have access to fast internet. It was totally worth it, evil co-workers and all, because of these videos! Thank you so much – it’s been impossible for me to get fair isle from a book, but your videos are amazing! That’s two exclamation marks in one paragraph, which is a big deal for me.

I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your videos. I purchased your pattern for the raglan sweater and followed the pattern along with the video.
I am just about to buy the fair isle hat pattern. I watched the video first to see if I would be able to follow the pattern. Thanks to the video, I am pretty confident that I can.
Thank you.

Staci, your videos are the best! Our knitting guild held a knit-out last weekend to get new knitters started, and I referred them to your website. Clear instructions, high-quality video, and you are calm and approachable. Thank you!
