Today on the Knit Picks Podcast we're talking all about our knitting pasts and futures. From learning to knit to taking that knowledge and teaching someone to knit, the Knit Picks Podcast team offers up their experience.  First up Lee and Stacey invite friends, co-workers and fellow crafters, Heather and Kate to come on the podcast for a discussion of their knitting and crochet origins. Each starts their craft somewhere but what everyone has in common is that someone else helped them get started.  Next Lee and Stacey share tips and tricks for people who want to teach knitting to their friends and family. While Lee has experience teaching knitting classes, Stacey has experience helping people in one-on-one learning sessions. Stacey also shares the old knitting rhyme: “In through the window, run around back, out through the window, off jumps Jack!”   Mentioned in This Episode:  WeCrochet Podcast Episode 40 – Crochet Jobs Part 3 – Teaching Crochet To Make Money And Get Confident With Arica Presinal & Pia Thadani   Aloft   Learn to Knit Kits   New Learn to Knit Kits - Learn to Cable Coho Cowl   Learn to Cable Bowline Hat   Knit Picks Learning Center   Straight Needles   Brava   Wool of the Andes   Swish   Craftster  Preciosa   Wonderfluff   Needle 101   Yarn 101   Stitch N Bitch The Knitters Handbook by Debbie Stoller   Stitch N Bitch Nation   Dishie   Knitting Rules The Yarn Harlot Unravels the Mysteries of Swatcing Stashing Ribbing & Rolling to Free Your Inner Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee   Knitting Needles     Timestamps:0:03 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast 0:44 Stacey's yarn crafting origin story 2:12 Lee's yarn crafting origin story 3:58 Heather's yarn crafting origin story 7:04 Kate's yarn crafting origin story 14:25 New Knit Picks Learn to Knit Kits! 15:34 Teaching someone to knit tips and tricks 40:33 The Credits
