The Knit with Confidence Course
From Total Beginner to Creative Knitter in 4 Weeks
Ever dreamt of creating beautiful, handmade knitted pieces — but felt overwhelmed and unsure where to start?
This is your friendly, no-pressure invitation to finally learn how to knit,
and make some new crafty friends while doing so.
What Makes this
Knitting Course SPECIAL?
My Knit with Confidence course helps you go from complete beginner to confident knitter, with a solid intermediate knitting skill-set enabling you to make sweaters, scarves, blankets, cardigans and more…plus the ability to customise projects to express your own creativity!
More than just gaining creative skills - my beginner knitting course is about building your confidence, exploring your creativity, and giving you a calming, joyful practice that’s all yours.
By the end, you won’t just know how to knit - you’ll be a knitter.
The Knitting Skills You Learn:
Over just 4 cosy Sunday afternoons together, you’ll master foundational and intermediate techniques like:
✔️ Learning how to start and finish your knitting projects with confidence, how to create different textures and including how to knit with multiple colours.
✔️ How to choose the right yarn and knitting needles, feel in control of your knitting, how to keep your stitches even, and fix mistakes without stress or panic.
✔️ Feel empowered to customise projects with your own colour choices and stitch patterns
✔️ An introduction to knitting patterns, 6 common increase and decrease techniques
and a project to apply your new knitting skills to create.
