Knitting with Chopsticks

I'm Hortense, the designer + most everything else behind Knitting with Chopsticks where I share my easy knitting and crochet patterns; and teach knitters & crocheters how to use them.

My goal is to break down knitting and crochet so they become simple enough for them to create exactly what they want, the way they want it through my blog, my Stitching Squad membership and hosting Knitting & Crochet summits.
