Craftsy’s Knife Skills Class

How to improve your knife skills:

I love classes. I do, I love them. I really dig getting expert instruction on something I care about. I am always looking for ways to work smarter, not harder, and classes can help a person do just that.

I have been a www.craftsy.com fan for a few years now because they have a terrific selection of online sewing classes. Because I lived so rurally, and am awfully busy, taking a sewing class or workshop in person is pretty near impossible. Finding tutorials on Pinterest or YouTube can sometimes be a home run, and other times it can be a time suck. Enter www.craftsy.com. Their classes are all a home run. I have taken a few sewing classes and this knife skills class and I have never been disappointed.

Unfortunately, I spend a ton more time in the kitchen in front of the stove than I do in front of my sewing machine these days. That’s okay; the babies will grow and someday I will get to sit down and sew…right? This shift in effort has meant I have been ever more interested in upping my kitchen game in any way possible which is why I watched every minute of this Complete Knife Skills class. My husband cracked plenty of knife + ninja jokes until he watched a little bit of the class with me and remarked immediately that we’d been cutting cilantro all wrong.

I had been cutting cilantro all wrong, and come to find out, I’d been cutting all kinds of things the hard way. I’d been wasting garlic goodness, risking my little fingertips, and using the wrong knife. I was a knife ignoramus and the handsome, tattooed, and raspy-voiced teacher Brendan McDermott brought me into the light.

This FREE class is a set of 4 videos and it comes with a couple recipes to boot. Once you register, you can access the videos any time you want, forever and ever, amen. The videos are easy to understand, the videography is pretty and clear, there’s no weird, distracting music and I found the teacher to be quite engaging indeed. If you watch them, you will cut better and more safely, and probably faster too.

So until I can devote the time I want to a sewing class (the craftsy sewing with sheers class is at the top of my wish list…sigh…) at least my kitchen time is shortened and improved because of this online gem.
