About the Instructor 

From Kaarn: "I'm a retired physician, older than dirt, and I've been knitting since I was 8 years old. I've done almost every type of knitting there is, and enjoyed almost all of it. I enjoy teaching knitting skills to individuals and small groups. "A day without knitting probably won't kill me, but why take the risk?"
