HOW WE WORK

Two ways to learn

Choose the setting that fits you best — one-on-one attention or the shared energy of a community class.

Private Instruction

One-on-one lessons tailored entirely to you. We move at your pace, focus on the skills and projects you care about, and build confidence in a relaxed, encouraging space.

Community Classes

Rachel also teaches through Lake Tahoe Community College CONNECT, helping students build skills, confidence, and creativity together at their own pace.

LTCC CONNECT
MORE THAN A CRAFT

A mindful practice

Knitting is more than learning a craft — it can be a mindful practice that supports focus, problem-solving, stress reduction, and connection. Rachel creates a welcoming space where every learner can enjoy the process while making something meaningful.

Focus

The steady rhythm of stitches quiets a busy mind and builds sustained attention.

Problem-solving

Reading patterns and fixing mistakes sharpens patience and creative thinking.

Stress reduction

Repetitive, tactile movement soothes the nervous system and eases tension.

Connection

Learning alongside others turns a quiet hobby into a shared, supportive experience.

"Rachel has been my mentor since I started knitting and has taught me so much. She has always been so willing to help me when I need help and to show me how to fix my mistakes. She is always so patient and supportive when I need help which is often. Rachel has been an amazing mentor throughout my knitting journey. "
