The more I know...the less I know.
I was struck by a review of a course given on Anne's Norwegian Knitting. The student said that she thought she knew how to knit before she took the course. What did this mean to me? No matter how much one knows...one can learn a lot more.
My adventures in YouTube tutorials and test knitting have taught me that. Over the last year I have learned a lot. I have learned from new knitters - Savan Knits - and knitters, who like me, are more seasoned. Clo Knits, Roxane Richardson, Jessica McDonald, and Suzanne Bryan are all wonderful teachers. From these teachers, I have learned new techniques and actually tried them. Best of all, I have new ways to think about knitting and how to do it.
The world of YouTube knitting is as varied as any community. Some are very good at what they do, some...are less so. Approaching all of these with an open mind...and a beginner's mind....has been as useful as attending a class.
