Why Get Knit Done?
As a mostly self-taught knitter, I relied heavily on the internet and books to learn new techniques. And as a very visual learner, I especially appreciated the value of clear photos or videos. Creating photo and video tutorials to explain techniques used in my patterns has been important to me since I started designing. Now, through this expanding collection of videos, it is my goal to help new and seasoned knitters alike feel confident in their ability to Get Knit Done. I hope you learn something new during your visit!
