Patterns: Rules Or Tools?

About this episode

The episode discusses the nature of knitting patterns as guides rather than strict rules.

Patterns- are they rules set in stone or are there times where it's not only desirable, but necessary to edit, or deviate completely off pattern? Join us as we discuss some reasons why we should look at patterns more as guides rather than set in stone directions. We also talk FO's, WIPS and some shop news. Photos of WIPS and FO's on my blog.
