About Samantha Hilver
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer any questions related to hand knitting. I'm very familiar with all sorts of stitches and techniques and can help troubleshoot or get you through sticky spots when it comes to figuring out a pattern or figuring out how to write your own.

Experience
I've been knitting since the seventh grade and although I'm perfectly capable of following a pattern I prefer to free-style most of my work.

Education/Credentials
I've taught myself how to knit from countless library and second-hand books and help from friends and relatives, but I've never taken a knitting class.
