Amy has been knitting most of her life and explored many other crafts including crocheting, quilting, bead making, weaving and spinning. About ten years ago, she embraced knitting and began teaching on the advice of her son who said, "Mom, you should knit more. Knitting makes you happy!" Since then Amy has been teaching knitting in person and on Zoom. She loves to teach beginners and to lead her students to grow and embrace challenges. She draws on her previous career as a technical writer and corporate event planner to translate complicated patterns for intermediate and advanced knitters and turn that information into engaging classes that help her students achieve impressive results. She has written an e-book, "Basic Socks: Top-Down on DPNs" and an award-winning pattern "Baby Turtle Frenzy Blanket," both available on Ravelry. Amy offers over 100 videos on her YouTube Channel providing instruction on techniques supporting the many classes she taught. Subscribe to her channel at www.youtube.com/chaiknucklesknitting
