Getting Started: Learning to Knit
So I could make my own videos, but I’m a fan of “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” and other folks have put the time and effort to make great content, let’s share that! There are books dedicated to casting on and casting off, such as Cast On, Bind Off: 54 Step-by-Step Methods. I’m … Continue reading “Getting Started: Learning to Knit”
