Boost Your Knitting: The Techniques

February 5, 2019 Jen Arnall-Culliford
A-CK-BOOST 1 the TECHNIQUES_1500rec.jpg

Have I mentioned recently how much I absolutely love enabling knitters to learn new techniques? That feeling of breaking it down into achievable chunks, leading people through the process, and watching them achieve more than they thought possible is almost as intoxicating as the thrill of learning something new. I can’t wait to help you to Boost Your Knitting!

Did you know I have nearly 50 free step-by-step video tutorials on my YouTube channel (with plenty more to be added as part of Boost Your Knitting)? So whether you need help mastering a cast on or cast off, advice on fixing a mistake in your knitting, or are wondering about shortcuts for 1x1 cables (that's what's going on in this photo!), there's a video to help! You can find our Youtube channel by clicking through to our website at the link in profile, or search "JenACKnitwear" on Youtube and subscribe to my channel!

#acknitwear #somethingnewtolearn #knittingtutorial #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #knittinginspiration #handknit #handknitting #nevernotknitting Next up in our Boost Your Knitting designer line up is Tori Seierstad @torirotdesign. Tori hails from Lillehammer in Norway and loves working with Shetland wools. Her designs are wonderfully colourful and feature bold motifs! She's pictured here wearing her popular design Next year in Lerwick!

#BoostYourKnitting #acknitwear #strandedknitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #knitting #knittinginspiration #handknitting #handknit #makersgonnamake #knittersgonnaknit I don't always have time to stay up-to-date with knitting magazines, but the most recent issue of @theknittermag is definitely one to seek out! I grabbed a copy this weekend and it's bursting with great content. I was particularly excited to see designs from friends: @jeanettesloan has a stunning wrap in this issue, and @maryhendersonknitting has a really lovely colourwork jumper featured as well knit @thewoolbrokers Jumper Weight (which we have plenty of in the online shop!) There's also a great feature on @donnasmithdesigns and in interview with @lucyhagueknits -- and much more! I definitely recommend seeking out a copy!

Pictured here is the fantastically prolific knitter Wendy D. Johnson @wendy_knits, whose fabulous designs span cable, lace, and beautiful colourwork! Check out her Instagram feed for some of her beautiful knitting, as well as pictures of her adorably fluffy cat! From there, you can also click through to read her long running blog! I can't wait to share Wendy's exclusive design for Boost Your Knitting with you!
Image Description: Wendy sits outside in the sun, wearing a large lace shawl knit in a purple yarn, with splashes of green.
