If your goal is to hone your knitting skills - especially lace knitting - youve come to the right place! Im a life-long knitter and crafter, and Ive been designing patterns for hand knitters since 2007 under the name Designs by Romi and Rosemary (Romi) Hill. I created this channel to share the experience Ive gathered (sometimes in the most difficult way!) with you, and to offer support for my patterns. I often go live here to talk through techniques, charts, and pattern specifics; and to go over knitting basics. I have a series of shorter videos - Teeny Tiny Tutorials - where I show you just the technique, so you can get right back to what you love most: knitting! If you have a question about one of my patterns or a request for a tutorial, let me know, and I will do my best to cover it for you. I want you all to feel empowered, because you are the boss of your knitting! You can find my patterns at https://www.ravelry.com/designers/rosemary-romi-hill and at https://designsbyromi.com/product-category/patterns/ ๐งถ Find out more at https://designsbyromi.com and sign up for my newsletter to get 15% off your first pattern purchase! https://designsbyromi.com/newsletter
