Introducing knitable!

I have a YouTube channel!! Why?!?
I was confounded by so many things when I started knitting.  There is SO much to learn at every turn. I gleaned as much as I could from books and magazines, but drawings of hands and needles mostly confused me more. Admittedly, I am a visual and kinesthetic learner, I need to see and do (and repeat!) in order to truly grasp a technique. I took a lot of classes and was perpetually wading through YouTube for explanations and demos. As a result, I spent a LOT of time watching veeeery long videos, unsure if I would EVER learn what I tuned in to find.  
Several years later, when I began to teach knitting, I was reminded of how confusing every little thing can be.  Just entering a stitch on the wrong side can throw everything off - and it’s so easy to do!  This set me on a mission to make good, clear, concise information that makes it fun to learn. That’s why I created knitable - the home of bite sized tutorials. They get straight to the point so you can get back to your knitting.
The initial set of videos is focused on basics.  When I teach beginners how to knit, my students stand behind me and watch me before they do it on their own. At some point, they started recording me and I realized how useful it would be if I made my own video for students to review so they could remember what to do when they got home. It was clear, after learning the knit stitch, they would need to review the purl stitch, or how to decrease when making their first hat - and the collection grew. These days, I’m working on a series of striped patterns and have created multiple videos to illustrate techniques in support of the patterns. Just this week, I published a video of Judy’s Magic Cast-On to support my latest pattern - the Simple Striped Hoodie. That’s right, JMCO isn’t just for socks anymore!

As you will see, the videos are ultra short and to the point. There’s no chitchat, just some fun music and my hands. I hope you like ‘em. There are many more to come! If there are tutorials you would like to see, let me know and I will add them to the list. Subscribe to be notified about new videos. Please spread the word - and the knitting love!!
