I love to teach and I am very patient. I first learned to knit as a 21 yr old in Norway over 35 years ago. Knitting is a great way to relax, it is repetitious so it is great for those with anxiety and other problems related to stress or focusing. I have been teaching children and adults for over 15 years. I believe we each have creativity inside of us that needs to be shared and expressed. I also love the aspect of creating a piece I can wear or gift. My other interest are foraging, natural dyeing of fabric and yarns, needle and wet felting. I hope to bring out something new in every student I teach and that they will develop a love of knitting and other fiber arts.
Teaches Beginner, Intermediate
Teaching since 2010
Bachelors Degree - Clothing Textiles & Fashion

She is hands down the best teacher!
Melisa was most helpful! She is knowledgeable and had patience for my issue resolution.
I've going from knowing nothing to really having fun with knitting in 3 lessons. Melisa is obviously a very experienced knitter and instructor, and lovely to work with!
