What My Students Say
-
Laura helps you take your knitting to new heights while not ignoring the basics everyone can benefit from. If you want to dive into new territory (designing my own vest was mine) or improve on skills you already have, Laura will make it your most fun learning experience. She pulls all of her students together and by the end of the class everyone has new friends. Beware: you can't stop at just one class!

With a fun smile, well earned confidence, patience, knowledge and kindness, Laura has improved my knitting greatly . I ask a question and she takes it from there, answering what I need to know so I can move forward. I have always found her willing and able to help.

Laura is an incredible teacher, expert craftswoman and community builder. No matter where you are on your knitting journey, she meets you where you are with encouragement and support. I started as a total beginner and have learned so many new techniques from Laura. She gives me confidence that I can do it! And I do! Most importantly, she makes class welcoming, approachable and FUN!

Grainline Sewing Weekend with Jen Beemam
This retreat will be all about Grainline Studio pattern sewing! Jen has a lot of really beautiful, versatile patterns sure to fit seamlessly into your wardrobe! We’ll be tailoring the weekend to your needs based on the survey results of attendees and create a schedule of break out classes. Need help with sizing? Sewing a welt pocket? Moving a bust dart? Attaching a waistband? Jen can help you through it. You’ll be able to pop into demos or skip them and keep sewing away!
And since Laura & Allyson are all about knitting, we’ll have plenty of opportunity to knit and chill. There will also be one on one knitting class sign ups available if you’ve got knitting questions!
A $800 deposit reserves your spot! We will then work with you to get the accommodation you require
