Karen Johnson reviewed: Machine knitting bite-size, one to one tuition with Claire Newberry-ask me anything!

"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."

" Thank you so much for your very kind words. It was a pleasure to teach you this morning. Best wishes, and I look forward to see your rib sweater. Claire."

"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. "

Claire Newberry's Knitting School responded:

" Thank you so much for your kind words and I am so glad that you found the lesson useful to you. You were a pleasure to teach! "
