Today on the Knit Picks Podcast we're talking all about our
knitting pasts and futures. From learning to knit to taking that
knowledge and teaching someone to knit, the Knit Picks Podcast team
offers up their experience.
First up Lee and Stacey invite friends, co-workers and fellow
crafters, Heather and Kate to come on the podcast for a discussion
of their knitting and crochet origins. Each starts their craft
somewhere but what everyone has in common is that someone else
helped them get started.
Next Lee and Stacey share tips and tricks for people who want to
teach knitting to their friends and family. While Lee has
experience teaching knitting classes, Stacey has experience helping
people in one-on-one learning sessions. Stacey also shares the old
knitting rhyme: “In through the window, run around back,
out through the window, off jumps Jack!”
