LET'S GET REAL:
You’ve been wanting to follow knitting patterns so you can expand beyond the one blanket you know how to make, but whenever you sit down to make it happen, you’re immediately overwhelmed.
You have no idea how to even get started:
Do you start at Row 1? How do you select your materials? Should you read through the entire pattern first?
You're frustrated by all the abbreviations you
can't make sense of.
You're confused not knowing how to decipher all the symbols --
What does (, ], * mean?
You're lost not knowing what half of the pattern information even means: Gauge? Blocking? What language is this??
Ugh, it's overwhelming even thinking about it!
NOW I WANT YOU TO TAKE A MINUTE AND IMAGINE...
Going out proudly wearing your handmade cardigan
(that actually fits and looks store-bought)
Making everyone in your family the perfect personal handmade gift this year.
(let's face it - matching scarves are great and all but ... picking the right pattern for each person is part of the gift.)
Spending all your knit time actually knitting instead of trying to make sense of patterns.
(relaxed knowing what you're doing, what information you need and where to find it)
Being able to make your daughter the sweater pattern she's been dreaming off.
(and she'll actually wear it
non-stop)

If so, then let me introduce you to your new knitting bestie - seriously, you'll want it right by your side the next time you'll pull up a new pattern to try!

Have we not formally met? If not, let's do something about it!
Hey, I’m Hortense!
Mom, avid baker and lover of all things yarn
(I even have a pattern Etsy shop with over 10,000 sales ;) )
I'm betting we have a thing or two in common.
A few years ago, bored making the one blanket I knew on repeat, I taught myself to read knitting patterns.
I spent a gazillion hours looking for patterns matching what I wanted and the yarn I had on hand only to get stuck halfway not understanding any of the crazy abbreviations and symbols.
With time and practice, I slowly got better at understanding the directions but I still ended up with dozens of half-finished projects hidden in the back of my closet.
But then I started to look at all the information in the pattern, made a plan before starting a new project and stopped knitting blindly.
That's when things finally changed.
Fast forward to today and I'm designing my own patterns.
I created this Ebook because I want to help new knitters dive into the world of knitting patterns without the stress, headache and tangled yarn messes I had to go through.
...and I can't wait to show you how it's done!
