I'm Jacki, a knitting teacher and knitting pattern designer based in Bristol, UK. I've been knitting since I was a kid, designing since 2020, and teaching since 2021.
I offer workshops for all levels of knitter - from absolute beginners to advanced skills like steeking (which is cutting your knitting. Yep. Taking scissors to your knitting.)
I'm a firm believer that nothing in knitting is as scary as it might seem (even steeking), and that it's a brilliant way to unwind from our fast-paced perfectionist world. I'm all about helping you create knits that you'll love to make, and to wear.
