knitting techniques knitting tutorial

In this week's Technique Tuesday, Kelley shared why she loves knitting stitch sampler projects. They not only allow you to practice and learn a variety of stitches, but they look amazing too! 

Three Reasons Why Kelley Loves Stitch Sampler Projects

  • You get to learn new skills more quickly because the patterns that you knit change frequently so there’s an increased chance you can learn something new with each pattern change.
  • These types of patterns keep you from getting bored.
  • The finished projects can look more intricate. Examples are: The Knit Purl Hunter books, many of Very Busy Monkey's patterns fall into this category, as well as the one Kelley's been working on called the Luckdragon Shawl which we sell on our website.
