I’ve brought my knitting classes online, so you can enjoy learning anywhere, any time. Just like my in-person classes, the lessons are clear and taught in a relaxed, fun manner. This isn’t school, you won’t be tested on anything!
What you will do is learn new knitting skills in fun, easy-to-access classes. The bonus of learning online is you can rewatch the same lesson again and again!

You can also join our friendly Facebook Group, a community of knitters just like you that love learning new things, know they don’t always get it perfect, and that everyone’s knitting is unique to them.

These Workshops are available to Members inside the Academy
Sweater Knitting Workshop
Be fully supported as you knit a jumper in-the-round, from the top-down! Learn about choosing a size, understanding ease and more as you knit a jumper/sweater from the top-down, in the round.
This workshop will run 'live' in real time for the first round. This means I'm knitting a jumper with you, in real time, so the workshop videos and lessons will continue to be updated over the winter months (which is June, July, August here in Australia!).
All lessons will be recorded and available to watch on replay and at any time that suits you, just like the other Academy videos.
The first lessons are available now, along with the information on the pattern + yarn recommendations.
Sock Knitting Workshop
Formerly known as the Sock Knitting Club, this online class breaks down the process of sock knitting into bite-sized pieces.
Knitting socks can seem overwhelming at first. With a large variety of techniques used, it can feel almost impossible to get started.
During the Sock Knitting Workshop, you'll be shown how simple and easy sock knitting is, so that you can begin filling that sock drawer with your own handmade socks.
Includes lessons on Magic Loop Knitting AND our PDF Guide to Knitting Socks + Simple Socks Knitting Pattern
Colourwork Knitting Course
One of my most requested classes!
Stranded knitting (also known as colourwork or Fair Isle knitting) is probably my favourite technique and I love showing knitters how easy this kind of knitting is to create!
Includes lessons on reading colourwork charts, colour dominance, different methods for joining yarn, blocking and more PLUS PDF Guide to Colourwork Knitting + Colourwork Coasters Knitting Pattern
Finishing Toys & Tiny Knitted Things
Learn how to neatly seam tiny knitted toys, mould them with stuffing and embroider the eyes with this online knitting class.
Beginners Learn to Knit Workshop
This online workshop will set you up with the foundations of knitting in a fun, easy-to-learn way. You’ll learn and practise your new knitting skills whilst making a cosy, contemporary infinity scarf that you’ll be proud to wear.
I designed this workshop to teach knitting to people who are unable to attend my in-person workshops. Knitting is a rewarding, enjoyable hobby that really has no limits. I love that moment of joy when someone gets those first stitches onto their needles and wanted to help more people achieve that.
Includes lessons on seaming AND our PDF Guide for the Beginner Knitters + Simplicity Infinity Scarf Knitting Pattern

“The videos are very helpful and I love the way the yarn knits up, so soft!”
“If you’d like to learn how to knit socks Sarah has a sock knitting workshop and step-by-step videos and instructions. I’m a beginner and I’m loving the process of learning and Sarah makes it easy. She’s also so lovely and so helpful to communicate with.”

About your teacher
My name is Sarah and I’m a knitting pattern designer, yarn shop owner and all-around knitting lover living on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. After learning to knit as a child, hardly a day goes by when I don’t knit at least one row!
I’m a firm believer that learning should be as stress-free as possible (there will always be moments of frustration!) and fun and I strive to present all of my classes and workshops in a clear yet relaxed manner.
Teaching classes and workshops in my local area has been a rich and rewarding experience. It’s so satisfying and also inspiring to teach others all about knitting - seeing the look of delight on their face as they grasp the techniques and begin to enjoy themselves is something I won’t ever tire of!
As a pattern designer and also a yarn shop owner, I’m frequently having conversations with people about how they would like to learn a particular knitting skill. Often these people live too far away to attend one of my in-person classes, so after many requests, I began to teach people online.
Along with teaching knitters new skills, I wanted my courses to embody the same joy that is felt by my ‘real-life’ students. With this in mind, I encourage students to engage not only with myself but one another in our Academy Facebook Group.
