Fearless Knitters Workshops

Learn the technique you've been avoiding.

Ninety minutes live with Johnny, every Saturday, on a swatch. You leave able to do it, with the recording to come back to.

Coming up

  1. Stranded colorwork

    Saturday, November 14 · noon Eastern · your time

    Two colours per row with floats that lie flat and tension that stays even.

  2. Combined knitting

    Saturday, November 21 · noon Eastern · your time

    The faster purl, and how to read your stitches so the fabric comes out right.

  3. Shadow knitting

    Saturday, December 5 · noon Eastern · your time

    Patterns that appear and vanish as the fabric tilts, from plain knit and purl.

  4. Marling

    Saturday, December 12 · noon Eastern · your time

    Holding two strands together for colour that blends, and choosing the pairs that work.

  5. Intarsia

    Saturday, December 19 · noon Eastern · your time

    Blocks of colour with clean joins and no holes, and the bobbins kept in order.

Already happened

  1. Mosaic knitting

    Saturday, October 31

    Two-colour patterns with only one yarn in hand per row, and no floats to manage.

  2. Decoding charts

    Saturday, October 24

    Read any knitting chart without the key, including cables, lace and in-the-round.

How a workshop works

  • Live on Zoom, Saturdays at noon Eastern (9am Pacific), about ninety minutes: teaching, knitting along, questions. The recording is yours afterwards.
  • $30 a single ticket, recording included. A ticket counts toward Insider if you join later.
  • Bring a swatch's worth of yarn and needles. We practise the technique on a swatch, not a project.
