View on Google MapsThis is an authentic Irish experience. Stephanie lives on a 209 year old family farm. She is a talented knitter and crafter. Her knowledge of the area’s history and of the knitting patterns for Aran sweaters is vast and quite interesting. She made brown bread with smoked salmon and coffee/tea for us. Delicious! The journey getting to her authentic farm was fun too. She was also a great teacher, having try knitting patterns and provided the patterns to us. Amazing!
I am an experienced knitter and this two hour session with Stephanie was a gift from family. I learned so much about Aran knitting from Stephanie, and also about Irish culture, history, and language. Stephanie is a delightful, intelligent, vibrant person who loves Aran knitting and loves Ireland. It was such fun! I highly recommend this very special opportunity.
Knitting with Stephanie was easily the highlight of our trip. Between the drive to her lovely home, delicious snacks, knitting, and seeing her studio and Irish Cobbs, the entire experience was absolutely unforgettable. My husband and I really appreciated Stephanie's warm hospitality. He didn't partake in the knitting lesson but he had a wonderful time and we both learned so much about Irish history and culture. I am already looking forward to booking another lesson with Stephanie on a future return trip to Ireland. Stephanie- from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU!!!

The host, Steph was wonderful and very accommodating. She not only gave us great knitting advise but worked one on one with our group member that had never knit before and we all love the experience! We were made to feel right at home with wonderful small surprises all throughout the time. We were not rushed and felt it was very worth the trip.
It was a good lesson for various skill levels. She was patient and also informative and kind. She had a beautiful garden too.
I had such a wonderful time!! Stephanie was super friendly and shared fascinating stories about the history of Aran knitting and the area. I loved seeing the unique patterns and am excited to try my hand at some techniques. She was a great instructor. Stephanie’s garden was a lovely surprise, filled with beautiful flowers and a peaceful atmosphere (a good place to park your husband). I also enjoyed meeting her adorable dogs and horses, which added a charming touch to the visit. If you’re in the area, definitely check this place out. It’s a delightful mix of culture and creativity. It's a 1:1 experience that you won’t want to miss!
Stephanie was a delight. She showed us multiple pattern while explaining the traditions of Aran knitting. She was very helpful once we started knitting and helped to fix our mistakes. A wonderful morning topped off with delicious bread and salmon!!!
It was a pleasure to meet Stephanie! We talked Aran stitches and patterns over delicious smoked salmon and brown bread.I even got to try knitting some stitches and went with detailed stitch instructions to try at home. I came away with a new understanding of and interest in Aran knitting…thank you Stephanie! I’d thoroughly recommend the experience!
This was just delightful! Two of the friendliest dogs in Ireland greeted me at the door. Stephanie taught me a new cast-on and helped me through 3 new (to me) Aran patterns. I can’t wait to start my sweater. I was also thrilled to get to see the faerie fort close up. Excellent regional and knitting history. Trip highlight for me! I think my non-knitting travel companions would have enjoyed just as much
A lovely morning with Stephanie learning about the history of aran knitting and taking a more detailed look into the different types of stitches. Stephanie was very knowledgeable and informative and lots of fun. And a beautiful location.
