  1. Will you be teaching the knee socks class again later this year? My mother would really like to learn how to knit them and though I offered to go with her to the April class but it wasn’t good timing for her (she lives near Ottawa). However if you are scheduling it again she will happily make the trip down!

    I am interested in taking a class with you… however, I live in Atlanta, GA and will have to do some planning… have never been to Canada, would love to visit. How about the class that is coming up at an Art School? I have a degree in Fine Arts…
    and… love color!!! been knitting for years, since I was a teenager… I also paint, although, lately knitting is all I do.
    Kindly advise,
    May Bingham

    Im a husband of a knitter and I’m looking for a few places to take my wife before a movie, and dinner in Seattle. She loves knitting,so I was thinking of taking her to some really cool knitting shops in Seattle. The only problem with that is I have no idea where I would go, so i figure I’d ask a subject matter expert. This is for her Christmas present so any help would be very much appreciated.

    hi glenna,
    i was in your cabling class last saturday, and chose the hat pattern. well…….something happened between knitting at work on my break and getting home to pick it up again……..that something being that i forgot to write down which row i’d just finished. and i had been doing so well up until that point. is there a way i could get your expert opinion on where i am? i’m not so good at counting rows. hopefully you’re around the purple purl from time to time. i’m anxious to get back to knitting it.
    thanks.
