Machines Don’t Come With Confidence Built In
Machines don’t come with confidence built in. They come with levers, settings, and a whole lot of mystery.
Your Machine Can Do More Than You Think
When you first sit down at your machine, it can feel like it’s holding all the secrets. Every knob seems important. Every lever looks like a trap.
But the truth is simple: your machine can do far more than it's doing right now — and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Removing the Guesswork
As Knit by Machine grows, I’m building tools designed to make your experience easier and more predictable. These include:
Calculators that handle the math for you.
Shaping helpers that guide you stitch by stitch.
Planning tools that turn ideas into clear steps.
Reassuring nudges that remind you, “don’t worry — this part is normal.”
WIFM: Spend More Time Knitting
The goal is simple: less frustration, more flow.
You get to spend more time knitting things you’re proud of — and far less time wondering why the carriage feels stiff or whether you’re using the right number of needles.
Tell Me What Feels Mysterious
What part of your machine feels confusing or unpredictable right now?
Your answer might become the next wizard — the next tool that makes things easier not just for you, but for every knitter who comes after.
