If you’re eager to make a cozy scarf, a stylish cardigan, or a pair of luxurious cashmere socks, there are essential skills you’ll need to master. Melissa is excited to guide you on your journey to becoming a fiber artist or simply exploring a new pastime. Over the course of five engaging sessions, you’ll discover how to:

  • Make a knit stitch

  • Make a purl stitch

  • Cast on stitches

  • Bind off stitches

  • Increase and decrease stitches

  • Follow a simple pattern.

Melissa has a passion for knitting and a fascination for all things yarn-related. Her creativity journey began in the 3rd grade at her elementary school in Vermont, where she learned the art of knitting and crocheting. It wasn’t until she relocated to Wisconsin that she embraced knitting as a serious hobby, enrolling in a class at a nearby yarn shop. Over the past 17 years, she has become an enthusiastic knitter, crafting exquisite sweaters for herself and her family. Recently, Melissa and her husband Ken made a move to Cleveland after living in Georgia for some time. You can find Melissa sharing her knitting adventures on Instagram under the handle @mar_knits and on Ravelry.com as melissareynolds (all one word, all lowercase). Don’t miss out on her latest creations—she loves to share her work with fellow knitting enthusiasts!
