"I contacted Claire because I was struggling to understand how to increase and decrease neatly when knitting rib on my Brother machine and ribber. The manuals, books I owned and YouTube videos just didn’t cover this topic when doing something like a 3x3 rib and I wanted to do more with the ribber than just knitting welts. I wanted to knit a whole garment in rib. Claire was brilliant. We spent an hour (and a bit longer) working on a neat professional way of doing fashioned decreases that I could apply to 3x3, 4x4 or other combinations. I came away feeling confident. I understood what I was doing and spent the afternoon practicing. So, if you’re struggling with something, don’t get frustrated, invest in yourself and get some training. I highly recommend Claire, she’s knowledgeable, experienced and very patient. Our time overran but Claire kindly continued because she wanted to ensure I understood and was happy that she had answered my questions. Great value for money and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. I know where to go in the future as I learn more about machine knitting and try new things."

"I contacted Claire because I have my own wool and am a hand knitter but I wanted to explore the possibilities, pitfalls and different ways in which I might improve what I do through machine knitting. Claire has a wealth of experience and is very practical; she answered all of my questions. Together we worked out what might be the best route forward for me. The session was invaluable and inspiring. "

"I had a one hour zoom session with Claire and she was able to give me really helpful info that answered the specific questions i had. She gave me lots of ideas for taking things forward without bombarding me with too much info. She was very encouraging and positive, has expert knowledge and skills in her subject and was totally happy to share that in the spirit of helping me to make progress. I will return for another session in the future."
