Laura
Laura Deer, a techno nerd for her day job, relaxes by figuring out complicated lace patterns, every version of heel & toe variations, cast-ons, bind-offs, & both top-down & toe-up socks. Laura has been an avid knitter for years and loves to share her knowledge with others by teaching classes at Serendipity.

Mikki Martin delights in texture, color, being creative and people. I love teaching what I am passionate about--which is knitting. My grandmother taught me to crochet and I learned to knit shortly after from my mom. I was raised on a ranch where we had numerous breed of sheep, cattle, horses. Now as I learn new aspects of producing wearable clothing items with wool I am thankful for my roots. My goal in life, never stop learning.
