    It wasn't what I expected but still ended up being really good. A bit pricey for what it is but it was nice to get that half-FIT experience I felt I learned a decent amount though it wasn't really what the course description said it was. The professor was very good at teaching a bunch of students who are all at completely different paces of learning and let some students take on extra/different level projects than others to accommodate what they could handle. Esperanza e-mailed us a lot with what to bring so try to remember to check your email every day before class for your supplies list. I have been a knitter for almost my whole life but i have never tried to do much with it. This class helped me expand on what I knew and be more confident with my knitting. (I was originally upset with the professor leaving a half hour early every day but she realized that she had misread the schedule and gave us an extra 3 hour class at the end which gave +1 star. It was really great of her to give us that extra class in place of the couple of hours we missed)

    Arnetta was an amazing teacher! She very clearly is an incredibly experienced (read: professional) knitter and is great at teaching concepts and basics for creating garments. We learned lots of basics on how to construct garments and key skills to put together a sweater, like how to do a neckline, sleeve and sleeve cap, and take measurements. As a self-taught knitter, gauge has always confused me and I tend to skip it, but Arnetta made it clear why it was essential, and then taught us how to use our own gauge to convert any pattern into the type of yarn and needle size you want! She also left plenty of time for questions and one-on-one instruction on individual projects. It was an incredibly informative class. I do wish we could have gone over more information, but she was great at catching people up from week to week and made sure everyone understood the concepts before moving forward.
