Introduction
Hello, my name is Aimee, and I'm creating something a bit different that might not be on everyone's radar.
One day while knitting, I realized that many people I've given my knitted gifts to didn't know where to start with knitting themselves, beyond finding a YouTube video to get them going (which is how I started). However, I found that understanding instructions like "knit one, purl two" was challenging to translate from videos or pictures to my own hands. Websites like Pinterest often linked to external blogs or stores, making the hobby a bit overwhelming to navigate.
For example, check out this pattern:
The availability of resources and the consistency of information can be hit or miss (e.g., I found three different methods for a waffle stitch). It's hard to sift through all these great free patterns to find one that fits the time you have and your preferences. I often wish I could just ask an AI to show me exactly what to get if I were a new knitter or crocheter.
I've had my fair share of curiosity yarn that I don't use because of the quality or because the yarn was too thin or thick for simple projects like a beanie or coaster. For instance, the patterns available on KnitPicks are great, but finding the right one can be time-consuming.
Welcome to this journey of simplifying knitting and crochet techniques. My goal is to make these crafts more accessible, so you, too, can enjoy simple knits and crochet methods.
