Instructor Bio: Meta Nisbet -- Craft Yarn Council Certified Knitting Instructor Meta says that among the many things about knitting that keep her motivated through decades of her craft, paramount is always having something new to learn. New techniques, innovative stitch patterns, and unimagined color combinations; these are the kinds of things that keep her fingers moving and her brain engaged. Meta owned and operated an LYS in Massachusetts USA where she helped customers explore the world of yarn and expanded her teaching skills. During the pandemic Meta started teaching knitting online and continues now. From the novice’s first stitch to the experienced knitter’s improved cast on edge, Meta thrills to her students’ triumphs as much as they do. She thanks you for welcoming her into your living room via Zoom. Knitting together is a joy.
