📚10 Pro Tips To Design Your Own Knits
In this video I'm sharing the full process of making my first ever knit pattern book "Knit this!", which was a huge project, it took me almost a year to complete! I'm so proud of the final result, and in the process I learned so much about being a knitwear designer.
In this video share the background behind this project, what I learned about knitwear design and making patterns, while also sharing what I learned and what I would do differently if i'd do it all again :)
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you'll enjoy this behind the scenes glimpse of my exprience of making my first ever knit pattern book.

    I was inspired by your videos to try knitting, not something I expected would happen being a 43 year old man. I have watched your learn to knit videos and I am sticking to practising the basics with aiming to knit a jumper within a year maybe

    43? Try 64! That was how old I was when I learned to knit. I was about to be a first-time grandmother, I was retired, and I figured it was time to learn a craft. Baby sweaters? Why not? This was about the time when it seemed that so many young adults, male and female, were taking up knitting. It’s great to see knitting becoming so exciting for people of all ages and walks of life. I’ve enjoyed Kika’s delightful videos and can see why she inspired you to get started. I waited too long to try my first adult sweater, and it was silly of me. I could have done it in the first year. Go for it!

I'm already half way through it and I only cast on 3 days ago. Thank you for creating this lovely book 🧶💗

However, I write this as a caution to others ordering. Even though he specified English print,I he received a pattern book written in Finnish. I enjoy challenges in knitting, but knitting in another language would be a real challenge. I hope he can get it exchanged as I was really excited to start the New year knitting the Honey cardigan.

    Thank you for making this book! I found your channel when you made your wedding dress and was so inspired to start knitting more! Then when you announced the book, I immediately asked for it for Christmas from my parents, and it arrived before my birthday in October so I was able to get it sooner! (this is the first knitting book I have ever had because I normally just make it up as I go, but I have loved the challenge!) My goal this holiday was to make everything as gifts (or at least have the majority of my gifts be hand made) and I have been using this entire book! The lighthouse beanie was a hit! A few family members asked me to make that one for them specifically - and I even tried one where I used a synthetic crushed velvet for the inner beanie (Which was the best idea ever because it becomes more of a fluffy 'lined' hat, which will be great for our Canadian winters! I don't normally comment on videos, but I had to say thank you so much for relighting my passion for knitting, and providing this amazing book! I can't wait to learn how to do a brioche stitch, and how to make lace!

    Congratulations on your book .............I saw the video of your journey with your wedding dress and have recently found you again and subscribed and I just adore your patterns........Very talented you are (Yoda I sound like....lol) Look forward to continuing watching your journey and I love your bright bubbly personality. The video that you challenged yourself to knit a jumper in 24 hours was brilliant and love the result which you are wearing today ......... Happy New Year and may 2023 see your continued success. Much love from Down Under xox

    Hello there! I started knitting 1 year ago and discovered your Chanel a couple months ago. I live in France. I love your energy and the way you talk about knitting and your designs. I bought the pdf version of your book and I m currently working on my second lighthouse bennie! Hope to be able to cast on the maybe forever sweater soon. The pdf version is not as wonderfull as having a Real book in your hand but it s so usefull to be able to knit your designs if you can t afford the shipping cost! I hope to be able to have the Real version of your book soon so I can go through it by night in my bed with a cup of tea! Thank you also for showing the process of creating a design in a lot of your videos. As a young knitter I was desperate to undo my work when I did a mistake. By watching the number if Times you had to do all other again Parts of your own projects, it completly changed my point of view ! A long message to say thank you! :-)

    I bought your book and immediately cast on the fisherman’s knit cardigan. I have spent many hours trying to duplicate your perfection ripping it back to the ribbing three times. Will you consider doing a video of how to pick up after ripping back? I don’t want to admit defeat, I absolutely love that sweater.

    I just thought I would let you know what you already probably know that the shipping to US is 43 Euros! I LOVE books and Sadly, I do not like PDF downloads.😢. Your work is so beautiful and you are so delightful and I wish you all the best.❤

    I was more dialed into the quilting world until 2020, the fabric companies will only work with designers that already have created a large audience so they don’t have to do any marketing. Amy Butler might have been the first person to take off in this way as an indie designer. Her husband was a photographer and graphic designer so he designed the page layout for all her books. They did really well for themselves being at the right place at the right time when quilting was going through a huge revival. Deals, contracts and relationships are all made at annual trade shows that take place twice a year (it is really time consuming and costly and really takes a village, putting together a staging area at trade shows for your booth, handing out copies of your portfolio to companies, maintaining your audience through social media).
