Faina is a great teacher - I've been intimidated by Brioche, but she presented it in a very understandable manner that makes sense.  Not so intimidated anymore...”

Wow!!  This class was fantastic and really gave you a good foundation to create your own tables and formulas for your own knitting.  Took the math of knitting and gave you the tools to save your math so you only have to do it once!!

“Marvelous teacher.  In command of her subject.  Very inspiring! Willing to answer lots of questions.  Look forward to taking another class from her..”
