Why Knit Stars will change your knitting life.
As a local yarn store owner, Shelley Brander saw firsthand how the best teachers could inspire confidence and creativity, giving fiber artists the wings to truly soar. But she knew that so many would never have a chance to learn from the best. So she took her background in production and storytelling and started traveling the world - giving knitters a window directly into the lives of the most brilliant designers, dyers and difference-makers. Now in its fifth year, Knit Stars has become a learning platform like no other - one that inspires, teaches and connects knitters worldwide in a beautiful community of people who love to learn and grow.

“I have been energized by the community and the inspiring teachers. I REALLY love that I can go over and over a technique to see it up close and get it right. Honestly, it’s like having personal instruction from all the knitting “greats” right in my home! I can even wear my PJ’s!!" – Judy Deutch Miller
