Interests

I am a full-time jewellery designer and like to have projects I can do in the evenings/weekends.  I returned to hand knitting a couple of years ago, and as I wanted to produce garments quickly, investigated machine knitting. 

I discovered there are a lot of skills involved; the machine needs to be well set up and maintained, and a lot of knowledge is required to create a garment.

I proceeded to teach myself from YouTube videos, also learning  how to dismantle my machine and do maintenance.  I bought a bulk lot of machines before the lockdown in August 2021 and  spent the time restoring them.

I am a member of two machine knitting clubs in Auckland and we often get requests from people wanting to learn, so I decided to offer a course.
