Hi, knitting friend!
If you've ever found yourself staring at a knitting pattern going, "why the heck is it telling me to do THAT?"
this guide is for YOU.
Or maybe you've been blindly following instructions for years, learned tons of different techniques, and you still haven't found a decent explanation for why you should use one cast on over another.
When I first started knitting, this was my #1 pet peeve.
I would start knitting a pattern, only to have to head over to Youtube to learn a new type of increase. I would think, "maybe this pattern has a secret reason it needs this technique and I'll find out halfway through?"
but by the time I finished my project, I would still have zero idea why I couldn't have just used a technique I already knew.
Fast forward to over 10 years later and I've knit dozens of sweaters and gifted more pairs of socks than I can count. Somewhere along the line, I realized I'd started to ignore pattern instructions, and I was substituting techniques more often than not.
By the time I started designing patterns, I had tried hundreds of different techniques....
and I realized there was a method behind the madness.
But nobody was talking about it!
So I wrote a guide about it.
I distilled 15 years of knitting experience into this one document.
It contains 14 of my favourite knitting techniques and WHY I like to use them. I've organized the techniques by type and included links to tutorials for each one, so you can use this guide as a reference for any project.
Think of it as a shortcut to years of experience 😏
Can't wait to see what you knit with this!
