Beginning Knitting Loom

$50.00— New to knitting or having a difficult time knitting due to arthritis? Try knitting with a loom! In three easy lessons, Becky will teach you how to knit. You work the same stitches and use the same patterns as needle knitting but it's easier on your hands and wrists. It's also a fast and easy way to make chemo & preemie hats and warm double-knit scarves for charity. All supplies are provided including a Knifty Knitter knitting loom, a knitting tool, a yarn needle and yarn.

Rebecca Novelli photographs what she loves — animals and people. She creates dreamy, highly emotional imagery by capturing their relationships, moods and beauty. She takes her time to get to know her subjects prior to shooting so everyone feels at ease. No animal is too big or small, scaly or furry for her to photograph.

Rebecca mainly works in B&W silver gelatin but does work with alternative process and digital as well. All of her finished work is museum archival quality. She works mostly in the greater Seattle area but is available outside of this area as well. If you are interested in having her take pictures of your animals (and you!) please contact her.

Rebecca Novelli maintains TESOL Help, a one-stop website for host families and volunteers working with exchange students, refugees and immigrants learning English. She is in the process of setting up ESOL Help, a site specifically aimed at ESOL students.

Rebecca is certified to teach English as a second language to both adults and children. If you are interested in private or group tutoring, please contact her. She currently teaches ESL at Newport Way Library and is organizing and ESL Book Club. Please contact her for more information.
