TKGA provides a variety of educational programs for knitters of all skill levels. We'd like to share a few of the comments we've received from our students.

BASICS, BASICS, BASICS
"Yes, I did the Basics course. I had been knitting for ages, but my confidence just wasn't what it needed to be to tackle Level 1 [of the Masters Program]. I felt like I didn't know what I didn't know. Going through the Basics course was very empowering, and I did learn a lot...I definitely think it was worth the time and effort."  – Mary

PROFESSIONAL FINISHING TECHNIQUES
What did you learn? "Think about finishing before you start knitting! I know this is an old rule. Maybe I should start following it rather than just jumping into the knitting... Also, I swatched the stitch pattern..., but I've never swatched shaping stitches and I should have.

"I like to knit, of course. Learning how to finish my knits correctly has made that part of the process more time-consuming, but also much more enjoyable and effective. ...

"All of these exercises have been learning experiences for me, but I especially appreciate the little pieces of yarn that you use to show where I could do better. (And I was one of those people who avoided buttonholes, so that's all been new to me!) I now see my work so much better....

"Thank you for an interesting and educational experience. I'm really glad I took this course." – Elizabeth

"Thank you so much, Dixie! I have just started the Master's [Program]. I am soooo glad I took your [Professional Finishing] course and would recommend it to all."  – Beve

" I have always knitted  by following the written pattern exactly. After your course, I will definitely stray and even attempt my own design starting with the ribbing and buttonholes."  – Sandra 

 CERTIFICATION FOR KNITTING JUDGES
"I'm having a great time judging and teaching.You have been such a help and inspiration to me. I can't thank you enough. Your judging program has made me look at knitting in a whole different light."   – Carol
