The Yarn Alchemist Podcast

by

This is the Yarn Alchemist podcast with me, Francoise Danoy. And here, we examine the mindset and mechanism roadblocks that are holding you back from manifesting your full potential as a knitwear designer. This week on the Yarn Alchemist podcast, I answer a very popular question that plagues many new designers: should I be following trends? I break this question down and address the several layers that this question brings: When is it appropriate to follow trends in knitwear designs? The mistake that designers make when following trends Why focusing on trends (if you’re not doing this one thing) can leave you high and dry How to be your own trend-setter.
