Your Teacher
Denise started machine knitting on a machine bought at a trash and treasure market some 10 years ago and was instantly hooked. She enjoys turning yarn into objects with the stretch and feel that is integral to knitting. Denise believes that even the simplest knitting machine can make interesting things, limited only by the imagination of the knitter. Wool is Denise’s favourite yarn and her work has featured on the catwalk at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show. Denise holds a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.
Handweavers & Spinners Guild of Victoria has an average rating of 4.9 for their other classes.
