Meet your newest fiber friends!

Get ready for a life-changing adventure as you virtually visit your 11 new friends in their homes, where they share their love of fiber and their own mastery of knitting techniques.

LUCY NEATBY

Pick up a TON of amazing tips for increasing, finishing, color work and her specialty, double knitting, a fascinating technique that produces especially warm, squishy, reversible knits. You will walk away with a colorful alpaca-motif hat that will give you so much pride and satisfaction!

SUSAN B ANDERSON

You won’t believe how satisfying and educational these tiny projects can be! Susan is well-known for breaking down projects into actionable, easy-to-understand steps. You’ll learn extra tips for picking up stitches, kitchener, i-cord and pompoms.

ANDREA WONG

This Portuguese-style knitting course is one that always sells out. If you’ve ever had hand, joint or shoulder issues, or just want to prolong your knitting health, you owe it to yourself to check this out. Plus the class project - a three-color cowl in Hedgehog yarns - is spectacular.

HANNAH THIESSEN

Slow down and really savor your knitting. Hannah does a deep dive into the definition of slow knitting, ethics of knitting, environmental concerns, helps you release stash guilt, and gives great tips for mending and maintaining your knitting.

MARLY BIRD

Dive into crochet mending - a brilliant technique for anyone to have in their toolbox. A perfect way to upcycle vintage treasures into something new or saving a hand-made piece with an unfortunate snag or hole, crochet mending will become your best friend.

MARTHA WISSING

This interview from 15,000 feet, on the side of a windy mountain in Peru, is a study in fortitude! And her chullo-style hat is one you’ll make again and again, in all manner of sizes and color combinations. The “cupped” tassels are especially cute and a fun detail to add to other projects.

BLUE SKY FIBERS

Been looking to conquer cables? The folks from Blue Sky Fibers teach the first Knit Stars cable class, and it’s a doozy! They’ll show you everything from reversible cables, to how to fix a mistake in cables as well as how to modify cable patterns. You’ll be a pro in no time!

MANOS DEL URUGUAY

Travel to Uruguay to meet the women of Manos del Uruguay. This workshop is truly like taking a $4,000 trip to Montevideo and then out into the countryside, seeing firsthand how Manos yarns are dyed, learning the basics of hand-dyeing, and sinking deeply into the culture.

DIANE IVEY

This course presents the brilliant bonus workshop that the entire fiber world needs and deserves to hear - giving a historical perspective on knitting and diversity, and offering valuable tips for building a more inclusive fiber community.

CAITLIN HUNTER

Come into Caitlin’s private home and workshop, far off the trail in Oregon, where her magical colorwork creations are born. She’ll inspire you with her interpretation of traditional color work. You’ll make the Herkka sweater, a classic Boyland Knitworks design created just for Knit Stars.

Hi! I’m Shelley Brander, founder of Knit Stars.

I know how it can feel to be alone in your creative passion. For my first few decades as a knitter, I was on my own! When, at age 35, I pivoted from my broadcast production career and opened a local yarn store, I saw firsthand how one great teacher can truly change your knitting life.

I created Knit Stars to bring the best teaching to knitters around the globe. I used to be afraid to fly (!!!) But now I travel to remote locations around the world, taking you directly into the homes and studios of the most brilliant designers and difference-makers.

Now in its 7th year, Knit Stars has become a learning platform like no other. One that gives us all a place to grow - in confidence and connection.

I personally invite you to join us. Wherever you are in your journey, you truly deserve the Knit Stars Masterclass experience. You and your creativity are worth it!

XOXO
