For machine knitters, the actual knitting can take less time than the planning and preparation.

Let's talk about the steps to take that will make your next project an all-around success!

Marie-Jo C
A french advice : It's critical to use the point and not the comma when filling the perfect fit pattern !
Emily S
Cute small gifts...

Leave a life line in the finished garment. As a child grows. Rehang and add stripes.

What if you call it “Ms. Mastermind”
Ruth S
Return yarn!!??...what///

Maybe knit up one size for growing kids

Does the waste yarn on your swatch matter when it comes to weight?

Always buy more so you can knit without stress.
