   Hi Tess,

   I hope to attend your Friday classes. You and Sandy are the women who encourage me to continue my knitting. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have learned sock and baby sweater knitting! You are a wonderful teacher and your patience is much appreciated. Thank you!

   Tess,

   I have been meaning to get online and thank you for your help the night at the Forestry Center to hear the Yarn Harlot speak. You really straightened me out on doing increases and saved my sanity. Doing the yarn overs and then knitting them off, is such a simple way. It is so nice to learn this early in my sock knitting venture.

   Thanks again,
   Mary Ann

   Tess,

   I just wanted to let you know how much my friend, Julie and I enjoyed the lacy scarf with beads class yesterday. It was fun even with the beads falling on the floor. I am planning to give this as a Christmas gift to my niece. It’s a good thing I am starting now. Right now I am slow but hoping that I will get the technique down and become a little faster.
   We are hoping that the Baby Surprise Sweater will be offered again as our summer plates are too full for it now.
   Thanks again for being such a supportive instructor.

   Trish

   With all the craziness that is the February Lady Sweater (check it out on Ravelry), I thought I’d throw in my 2 cents re: the buttonhole. The FLS gives a link on the pattern for on-line help for a reversible one-row buttonhole. Well, I went there, got frustrated, and thought I’d just refer to one of Tess’s tutorials on buttonholes. Well, both the online help, and the tutorial were both saying the same thing, but the instructions from Tess were WAY easier to understand and execute. Leave it to an engineer to give you top notch instructions! I highly recommend Tess for a tutorial if you ever run into problems. You will leave with a complete grasp of the issue.
   Thanks Tess. My buttonholes are now a breeze!!

   Hi Emily! Thanks so much for the compliments! Coming from someone who spends all day with kindergartners (and administration!) that really means a lot! :)

   OK, this is a random comment, but one that needs to be made.
   I looked through the classes for the upcoming Madrona retreat, and although they would be fun for the social aspect, I don’t really need to take any, Tess can do all the teaching they are offering right here at home.
   I don’t think I say it often enought, but thanks Tess for being such a great teacher!
