Do you remember learning to knit or crochet? Do you remember who taught you? Whether it was a family member or at a yarn
shop we are sure you well remember the thrill of learning something new and the
excitement about all the things you would be able to make.
At KnitPro we know how important it is that the skills of knitting and crochet are kept alive and we are always keen to support the wonderful teachers out there. So we thought we would highlight some of the fantastic resources available on line to help you pass on your skills to others.
YouTube
The number of tutorials on YouTube can be a little overwhelming but there are some excellent tutorials that you can access very easily.
One of the great
ambassadors involved in the knitting revival is Debbie Stoller from Stitch ‘N
Bitch fame. Her video provides a great
introduction to get you started.
