Welcome to KnitterDitter.com!

I am Cheryl Olson, the constant knitter. My husband calls me “Knitter Ditter, ” hence the name of this site. I make handknit garments for myself and family. Recently, I have decided to take this craft online and share it with the world.

My grandma taught me to sew, knit and crochet as a young girl. Whenever I create something, I think of her. I still have the blankets she made for my babies and they always bring a smile to my face. These days, everywhere I look I am inspired to try a new stitch pattern;  from a sweater somone is wearing, to a picture in a magazine or an item in a store.  And there are so many patterns that others have created, I am inspired to try them all and create my own! So little time!

There is something so safisfying abut creating. I have learned so much about knitting over the years, and I love it. I want to share that knowledge with my readers.  Knitting can be soothing, and at times frustrating. I’d love to hear about your success or frustrations. If you are frustrated, let me help you out of that tangled mess. If you are in a “happy knit place” share that with me too! This site is a growing repository of links to books, articles and blog posts from some of my favorite designers. I will also share my process and I hope to encourage you to pick up the needles and create!

On Ravelry I am CherylsKnits and I design under the name KnitterDitter.
