Show the back too
The wrong side of the work usually explains the right side.
Why a photo of your stitches tells everything
Tutorials show a finished swatch knitted by an expert. Yours is the one with the problem in it.
How we work
Small fixes, caught early
Most knitting problems are mechanical and specific: yarn held too tightly, a stitch mounted backwards, a needle size that doesn't match the yarn. They're hard to describe in words and instantly visible in a close-up photo.
So every program runs on weekly photos. Problems get caught in week two rather than discovered when a sweater is finished and doesn't fit, which is the expensive version.
Gauge gets more attention here than anywhere else, because it decides whether a garment fits. A properly washed swatch is dull and it saves entire projects.
Our principles
Three beliefs behind the method
Swatch honestly
A washed, blocked swatch is the difference between a sweater and a costume.
Learn to fix, not to restart
Undoing a mistake beats ripping out three evenings of work.
