Meet Funky Knitter, Christie

"Hi Betsy,

Thanks for teaching me the knitting skills, which is Greek to me when I first approached you. You are definitelya  very patient person as teaching me is not easy due to the fact that I am not a crafty person and I am very impatient... Moreover, you are not selfish to impart me the knitting skills. Really appreciated the effort you have put in to teach me and I have my first and one of its kind knitted handphone pouch. Looking forward to start my next project soon!!!" - Christie Lim, 13th May 2009

Meet Crochet Craze - Elaine

Elaine hopped over from her stall last Sunday @MAAD to try her hands at crochet too! Appreciate her enthusiasm despite several "distractions" when there were customers at her stall. Luckily our stalls were just opposite each other :P

"Betsy is a practical & realistic instructor, she does not promise you the sky about what you can do with basic crochet skill. Hence, with my existing craft knowledge, I am able to gauge how far I can go, how good I want to be for future projects. However, I felt that 2hrs is not enough for for a first-time crochet enthusiast to finish up a handphone pouch (on our own). But it is a very good introductory lesson to get a taste of what hard work is all about. I had fun during her workshop, which explore the cor-ordination between fingers of 2 hands, unknowingly increase unnecessary stitches, and with a lot of help from Betsy, I am a proud owner of a iPod cover. :P

Thanks for the workshop, I would continue to practice my crochet skill next MAAD." - Elaine, 5th May 2009

meet Crochet Craze - Jeslyn

Jesyln attended our Special Introductory Crochet Workshop @MAAD last Sunday.

"The workshop is very basic, just nice for someone like me who has never touched yarn before & who has no experience in crochet or knitting. It's good for me to learn & get the feel, & for me to see if my interest is there.

The duration is just nice, but probably need a few more lesson to complete a (proper) project for beginner (1st-timer like myself).

Thanx for the patience & guidance!" -Jeslyn, 3rd May 2009

Meet Funky Knitter, Roz

"Betsy, you've been GREAT! Never could I imagine that I can actually knit something but you really have guided me through the whole process very, very patiently. I first came to you in Dec 2008 to knit a present for my special other but somewhere along the way, some personal problems cropped up & I decided to stop knitting. You've been very encouraging & it was thanks to you that I decided to pick up knitting again (with GUSTO this time!) and knit a winter scarf.

 

Lessons at your home studio are, in a sense, relaxing and therapeutic. It's like going to a gal friend's place to chit chat over balls of yarn to do knitting! To me, you are not just a teacher but also a friend. So, yes, my FIRST knitting mission is already complete and the best part is?

 

I'm not stopping here. Mission No 2 is already on the wayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks Betsy!!!!!!!!!!!!"
