[NFB-Blind-Crafters] FW: This is the part nobody teaches you

Mon Sep 7 11:47:08 UTC 2026

The ad says you get free access to the videos for 48 hours.  You only have to pay if you want access for longer than that.  That’s how the Knit Happy summit worked, too.  And I guess you get other perks if you pay, but it’s not essential. 

On the Knit Happy summit, if I wanted a PDF or pattern from a presenter, I had to sign up for her emails.  I did that for a few people.  I get more emails, but so far they’re interesting, and I can always unsubscribe if it gets to be too much.

I signed up for the knitting and crochet Summit. They have a YouTube podcast. I only listen to one episode. I saw advertising for products, but I don’t think you have to buy them. I hope not because IKEA afford them. They said the summit was free though you can’t buy access to more than just the general things, however I will not be doing that. I hope it works out.

Very interesting however, that time I will be coming back from vacation I like the free too although I’m sure they try to get you to buy stuff. Another time. I agree to look into it for another year.

25+ designers, four days, free

Hi Tracy,

There is a particular moment in knitting and crochet where something finally clicks and you think, ohhh, that's why.

You have probably had a few. The tip that explained why your edges never looked right. The trick that made a step you dread take half the time.

Those moments are hard to find on purpose, because you cannot search for something you do not know exists. So I gathered 25+ knit and crochet designers to hand you theirs, all in one place.

The  <https://kwchopsticks.krtra.com/c/PuZTj8z3H9Cp/63WLW> "Ohhh That's Why" Summit is back Tuesday September 15 to Friday September 18, with 25+ classes of 20 to 25 minutes each, free to attend.

 <https://kwchopsticks.krtra.com/c/PuZTj8z3H9Cp/63WLW> Grab your free ticket here >>

A few of the sessions waiting for you:

1.      Why your sweater is not fitting right, and no, it is not your body (knitting)

2.      Your gauge swatch lies, and how to make it tell the truth (knitting)

3.      What turning chains really are, when they count and when they do not (crochet)

4.      Knit effects in crochet, creating the illusion of knitting with a hook (crochet)

5.      Finally fixing the gap in your socks (knitting)

You can  <https://kwchopsticks.krtra.com/c/PuZTj8z3H9Cp/63WLW> get all the details about the "Ohhh That's Why" Summit over here, but here's a quick overview:

1.      The "Ohhh That's Why" Summit will run from Tuesday September 15 to Friday September 18.

2.      Each day will be packed with amazing speakers ready to hand you the tips they wish they'd known sooner.

3.      We've got a pop-up Facebook group where you can connect with other makers, ask questions, win prizes, and more!

4.      The summit is absolutely free to attend, with every lesson available to watch for 48 hours.

Cheers,

Want neater knit ribbing?

One of my favorite tricks for a neater ribbing is twisted ribbing! In this week's new Youtube tutorial I share the differences between regular, twisted and half twisted ribbing and show you how to knit them.
