Super Tutor

Hannah is one of our best Knitting tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.

About Hannah

I love making and I love the process of making. There is nothing like wearing something you made with your own hands or being able to present a loved one that perfectly fitted gift. I teach in the hopes of passing on my enthusiasm for textiles and encouraging people to make their own works of art.

About the lesson

Whether you want help with a new pattern or a regular slot to learn a new skill our lessons will work towards your own personal goals. Each session will have a set objective (or two!) and guidance can be given on where get materials.

*You want to try knitting or crochet for the first time
* You want to knit a new pattern and are a bit unsure

* You want guidance on looking after or mending your own knitwear.
* You want advice on fibre choices or choosing a pattern suitable for your skill level.

Hannah is a kind, naturally helpful person, her experience of knitting shows in a way that made me feel I could ask all of the questions I wanted to without judgement, and Hannah communicated back in ways that made it super easy for me to understand, and then how to move onto the next stage.
It's clear she truly wants you to succeed in your project, which for me is the best kind of teacher.
I highly recommend hiring Hannah!

I've known Hannah for a while now and her knitting skills are absolutely phenomenal. Not only does she create some of the most beautiful and creative knitted pieces out there, but she has such a passion for her work that it's genuinely contagious. She also has an encyclopedic knowledge of textiles, knits and fabrics that comes from her work as a textile conservator. I would 100% recommend Hannah as a knitting teacher, for knitters of all levels. She's also a generally fun person to be around, so she makes learning greatly enjoyable.

Hannah is a great tutor as she has experience in so many different patterns so can cater for beginners or more experienced knitters wanting to try new things.

She also has great chat as she has quite literally knitted across the world in UK and New York so the session won't be boring.

Hannah has been a friend for several years and helped me start to knit several years ago. I still go back to her when I need a reminder about something or if I've really messed up she's gets me back on track.

Hannah was really helpful and straightforward in her teaching style. Over the course of a few weeks I progressed fro a simple hat to my first jumper. Being able to mix in person lessons with video calls was great. I’ve known her for many years and her skills are too notch!

Details

The first class will be a chance to discuss the topics you want cover in the main lessons. This is a great chance for me to get ahead of things and make sure your learning plan is fully developed before we start. I can also help you choose tools and materials best suited to your skill level and projects. Lessons will be mostly held on weekends and evenings.

Find out more about Hannah

When did you start practicing? How did this passion find you?
I have been knitting since I was 7 or 8 and then taught myself crochet in my early 20s. I have always been interested in the making side of textiles and find a great pleasure in sharing these skills.
Which artists or works affect you the most?
I work in a museum caring for their collection of historic textiles and fashion. I find new inspiration in each object I see - textures, motifs, shapes and colours all inspire my work.
What are the qualities and skill required to succeed in this area?
Patience is key - don't be hard on yourself if you don't get in straight away. Confidence will come from practice and repeating movement again as you work through a project.
What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone stay focused on creative projects?
Start small. Pick something you really want to make, but don't be too ambitious for a first project or you might get disheartened if it doesn't go to plan or get finished as quickly as you would like. If you want to make a jumper for your first project look for something in a chunky weight with limited decoration, rather than a lacey pattern in a fine gauge.
How would you describe your passion; how does it make you feel?
I love the feeling of completing something and being proud when people complement items I have made myself. It ticks both my strengths attention to detail and creativity.
What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?
I have recently been commissioned to design a pattern for a national organisation - more to come later in 2022.
Have you ever been surprised by a student; by their ability or quick progression?
I think students often know more than they think and my role can sometimes just be to clarify their understanding and nudge them in the right direction. If we're working through a new pattern I will always ask the student to explain part of the instructions to me once we've done a little bit, to prove to themselves they can do it.
Being a Superprof is an art! What is your secret?
Patience, positivity and perseverance.
