    "Debora has a wonderful Knit background that allows her to apply both a technical and design approach to her teaching. I am an advanced beginner Knit student and I was only making scarves because I did not know how to adjust a pattern properly. My sweaters would never fit right. I wanted to improve my abilities and really learn why a stitch was used and how to truly adjust a pattern to fit a size.
    Debora takes me through these steps with incredible patience and at the same time shows me the technical reasons behind the pattern. She also is just so much fun to be with! I am truly amazed at what I am creating now! I am finally finishing projects that I am proud of. "

    "I have been a student of DEBORA MARTIN for the last 12 months.During which time she has taught me how to knit, (finished my first sweater ) how to recognize twisted stitches, count rows, extract myself from situations that beginners encounter, read the funky letters that look like Greek so I can follow instructions bot verbally and written, the location of some great knitting stores, how to choose the correct yarn for specific projects and to never settle for less then excellence in the final outcome.

    Debora has a great deal of patience, the knowledge to teach beginners as well as seasoned knitters who need refresher courses and best of all she loves what she does and that makes her a great teacher. "
