Greetings!

Here at Knitter's Pride we're always looking to learn something new, innovate, and expand the knitting and crochet industry. Knitter's Pride needles and hooks were developed with an international panel of knitters and crocheters. These very same needles are sold throughout the globe under the KnitPro brand. We're thrilled to continue to meet and work with such a wonderful international community of passionate and creative stitchers. 

 

Sincerely,

The Team at Knitter's Pride

 

Keep Your Hands and Wrists Healthy!

 

Whether you're a knitter or a crocheter chances are you've felt some hand and wrist pain at some point in your stitching. It's important to give you hands and wrists plenty of breaks when knitting to keep your hands healthy and pain-free! 

 

This is a great article from Knit Freedom on stretches to keep your hands free from pain.

Indian Cast On: Using Toes!  


The traditional Indian cast-on method is a unique way of starting a project, using the big toe to tension the working yarn while holding the short end of the yarn double in the right yarn.  A slip knot is made, and stitches are cast on in the form of slip knots with the double stranded short end and the working yarn. 

See the video below for a demonstration of the Indian Cast On, and read the Knitter's Pride Blog for more info!
