Confident Knitting Projects: Spring!

It’s really hard to believe that we’re over halfway through our year of Confident Knitting! Arnall-Culliford HQ is still a hive of packing industry as we are sending copies all over the world, and you might soon spy it popping up at a festival or yarn shop near you! We will be bringing lots of copies to Yarndale next week. I can’t believe it’s next week already!

There’s still plenty of Confident Knitting fun left (six months’ worth of knitalongs, to be precise… though of course the journey never really ends), but reaching the halfway point and the debut of the print books is certainly a milestone. We thought we’d celebrate it with a few posts looking back at what you lovely Confident Knitters have created and looking forward at what’s to come!

So today, let’s take a trip back a few months, when the Confident Knitting journey had just begun, and see some of the amazing learning that happened in the spring!
