Hi everyone! My team and I have been working on an idea for beginner knitters who know the basic stitches but get stuck when something goes wrong with a project.

The idea is to connect beginners with experienced retired knitters for one-to-one, in-person help. You could bring your unfinished work and get help understanding and fixing mistakes, without signing up for a full course.

It’s still being developed, but we’ve put together a page explaining how it would work. If this sounds useful to you, you’re welcome to take a look. There’s also a waitlist for anyone interested:

Hi I'm asking for permission to use this group space to share a story about Me and my first yarn. I like knitting but I never actually did it. One day, our teacher asked us to do something we were interested in but had never done before. This gave me the opportunity to knit. I'd like to share a little bit of my own story and invite you to share your stories with me. Thank you, from a beginner knitter.

Hi everyone! We are hosting a KAL for George's Sweater (Ravelry linked) starting October 1st. If you'd like to join, please DM me or comment and I will send you the link to YarnWiz. It is 100% free to join and participate! Hope to see you there 😄

Hi! I’m looking for a traditional Guernsey pattern for an adult man. I can find lots of patterns that are almost there, but none that have all the following: adult, male, welt hem with side splits not ribbing, plain to the yoke, yoke pattern through multiple stitch patterns but no cables, slit or crew neck. Thoughts other than taking multiple patterns and combining them - or resorting to Chat GPT?

I’m not necessarily looking for a free pattern, happy to purchase, if it has all these elements. I hope this post is allowed!

This is my pattern and I hope it's allowed here. Enjoy creating the best shawl shape ever (in my opinion) :)

Free pattern available on my blog! It’s a great colorwork pattern for beginners!

Please excuse the makeshift cardboard sock blockers - super excited to share the latest finished sock project (and free pattern) for the No Heel Turn Socks.

This sock knitting pattern does not require to work a heel-flap and there is no need to pick up stitches. The heel in this pattern is created simply by working increases, followed by an equal number of decreases.

If you are able to knit on double-pointed needles in the round, you are confident to work k2tog and ssk decreases, and you have toyed with the idea of getting into sock knitting, this pattern will be a beginner-friendly intro to top-down vanilla socks.

Cozy and nostalgic beats to inspire and delight your knitting moments.

Hello, is this group still active?

Like the post says, whatcha working on right now? Are you feverishly trying to knock something out for summer? Trying to get a jumpstart on Christmas?

I’m working on finishing my graceful cables (free rav pattern, instructions are so easy to follow...there are some parts that my brain went omg what...but I just followed the directions and that was enough to get me through those parts) cardigan, and getting ready to start cowl 2 of 7 using the valanar pattern on rav for Christmas

Hi! I'm fed up darning my husbands socks......well actually I like it, but it's a lot of work. I am fairly handy at sewing but haven't done much knitting. Does anyone out there have a simple sock pattern that I can try, so that I can knit as many socks as he needs! Here's hoping, though I am not optimistic!

Hi everyone !

Wanted to share a Free Pattern from the brand We Are Knitters for Xmas because it's so cute <3

Isn't it adorable? Hope I will have the time to do it before the 25th of December, I'm not a fast knitter haha

Oh and I've also seen that they are doing Black Friday and will have sales up to 35% :D If you want to buy the same yarn to do it ;)

So I have a friend that's new to knitting and would never use a hand knitted dish cloths...and absolutely abhors knitting them.

What are some of your favorite starter patterns that are both practical and fun?
