Knitting patterns from SpinCraft Patterns are a bit different from commercial knitting patterns. Occasionally long-time knitters have a bit of trouble because all the details are not worked out for a particular type of yarn. But anyone who tries the system quickly starts to see the beauty of knit-so-it-fits knitting patterns.

Ultimately knitting is a simple math problem. You have a certain gauge which sets up a grid that determines the shape and size of what you are knitting. If you have 5 stitches to the inch, and want to knit ten inches, the you obviously need to cast on 50 stitches. SpinCraft Patterns use this simple kind of math to work you through a pattern so that it fits your body exactly.

One other thing that people learn from knitting a SpinCraft Pattern is that it makes them start looking at what they are knitting, which then brings out the creative spirit.

I remember, as a child, knitting things from knitting patterns. I really had no idea what I was knitting until the end when it all came together. It was really a miracle that anything ever fit. In fact, there are so many things I have knit that I finished and then went out to find a person to fit it, rather than work the other way around, knit something to fit a certain person.

Don't be afraid of a little math when you are working a Spincraft Knitting Pattern. It is all very simple calculations, and will end up creating a beautiful work of art AND turn you into the designer.
