Over the course of a year she did not buy any new clothing, but rather gave herself $365 to buy bargain bin dresses. She then took each item and made it into something fashionable, one for every day of the year.<\/p>\n<p>After I began looking at the huge number of patterns on <a title=\"New Stitch a Day Group on Ravelry.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/groups\/new-stitch-a-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ravelry<\/a> I realized there was a lot more to learn about knitting. A quick search for knitting stitches revealed sites full of hundreds of stitches. It was all very overwhelming. I began this site to better my own knitting skills, but it has turned into something much more.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of New Stitch A Day is:<\/p>\n<p>To teach others through high quality, easy to understand, video tutorials<\/p>\n<p>To advance the fiber arts through knitting and crochet<\/p>\n<p>To provide resources to aid in the learning of knitting and crochet<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have a lot of fun exploring the site!<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newstitchaday.com\/about\/about-johnny-vasquez\">Johnny Vasquez<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Head Video Guy<\/p>\n<p>New Stitch a Day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This site was inspired by Marisa Lynch who started New Dress a Day in November 2009.
