Knit confidently with Heather!

I’ve earned my Professional Knitting Instructor certification through the Craft Yarn Council of America at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and teach a wide variety of fiber classes in the greater Boston area.

I’m passionate about guiding knitters to success on their own terms, using clear visual and verbal examples. My students cite the depth of knowledge and ability to create a positive environment as keys to their knitting and crocheting success.

Here's what others have said;

I have been taking knitting classes with Heather for six years. Heather is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a wonderful teacher. She has given me the confidence to tackle projects I never thought I could do. She’s always encouraging even when I ask questions about things I should know and feel silly asking about. Heather’s knitting classes are great for all levels. The atmosphere she has created at HeathKnits is a community, not just people taking classes.

A native New Englander, I’m also an accomplished musician, soap-maker, beekeeper, and wedding officiant. I live with my husband who loves hand knit socks and sweaters, and two Manx cats who absolutely refuse to wear sweaters.
