Thank you for your wonderful resource. At last, someone is really thinking of those of us who are ‘new’ and trying to learn/grasp the terminology that making things with yarn covers.

Hi, I’m Hortense!
I’m Hortense, a passionate knitter, crocheter and hoarder of yarn.
My mom taught me the basics of knitting when I was young. I took those basic skills and added to them over the years thanks to blogs like mine and the wonderful community of online knitters and crocheters.
Knitting with Chopsticks was created as a way to give back to that community and share my easy knitting and crochet patterns with beginners everywhere who want to take the next step.
My goal is to break down knitting and crochet patterns so they’re simple enough for you to create exactly what YOU want, the way YOU want it.
