Below you will find tutorials featuring a selection of knitting techniques used within our patterns.

(Our tutorials demonstrate the Continental method (holding working yarn in left hand) not because it is better, but because it is the technique that the author (Jennifer Hansen) personally uses.  Our tutorials also show knitting from a right-hand perspective for the same reason.)

This list of knitting techniques is ever-growing and evolving.  Part of what we choose to feature here depends on your feedback about what you'd like to see, what works for you and what doesn't:  write us and tell us what you think!
