Future Stars - Knit Stars

Welcome!

You’ve navigated to the private page introducing the magical possibilities of joining us for the next premiere Season of Knit Stars, in 2026.

We invite you to start by watching this short video.

What makes the Knit Stars experience so unique?

I’m Shelley Brander and two decades ago, I had a thriving branding agency and was starting to burn out. I opened a yarn shop as a side hustle, but I struggled to attract top-tier teachers to travel to my little shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Finally, Lucy Neatby said YES, and her workshop was so transformative, I decided that everyone needed more access to this kind of experience. So, each year for 10 years, our award-winning production team has traveled around the globe to more than 100 Stars’ hometowns, filming mini-documentaries and workshops. Together, we've elevated the way the entire yarn world learns, connects and grows, together.

To kick off our next decade, we’re evolving with a new concept that we're calling Your Season of Genius.

After filming with so many Stars, I’ve noticed some patterns. When certain elements are in alignment, creativity just flows. In the coming year, we’ll dive deeper into these elements to help people nurture their own creative genius. While our masterclasses will still include techniques, there will be more emphasis on story, and an overarching theme that links all the classes into one cohesive journey for the viewer.

What might your Knit Stars documentary look like?

What are the benefits?

We created Knit Stars not only to make the best learning more accessible, but to raise the bar on how the yarn industry compensates its best and brightest Stars - knowing that the rising tide will indeed lift all the boats.

The benefits are too far-reaching to fully list here, but these are the most pivotal ones:

We work with you to plan a Masterclass you will be exceptionally proud of.

We come to you for on-site filming, based on your unique schedule.

We handle all editing and production

We pay you a flat fee of $4,000 plus a $1,000 donation to your chosen non-profit, and...

You earn 40% of any enrollment fees in Season 10 that come through your affiliate link.

You earn 40% commission on any previous Knit Stars Seasons (1-10) purchased through your link.

You’ll be part of a Season cohort of Stars that will introduce you to fresh strategies and will cheer you on throughout your Season and beyond.

What are the requirements?

Your primary responsibility is to deliver a workshop you’re immensely proud of - with the whole-hearted support of the Knit Stars team! Three of our team members have been Stars themselves, so we know what the experience feels like, and how to guide you through it with joy and great success.

Beyond that, the requirements are simple:

A workshop that is unique in some way from your other offerings. This will be filmed sometime between now and August, 2026 - dependent on your schedule.

With the support of the Knit Stars team, you’ll create emails, teasers and announcement posts, to be shared during Knit Stars Earlybird sign-ups in spring of 2026.

There will be at least one other signup window in addition to the Earlybird window, when you will benefit from posting about your class.

Your unique affiliate link will be good for all of 2026, so you can post permanent links on all your channels that can lead to additional sales and commissions.

Simply put, the more you share, the more you can earn - in 2026 and for years to come, as a Knit Stars alumnus. It is an excellent, long term passive income opportunity.

Can you picture your name here?

If you’re on this page, it means we know your name belongs on this list - and the next Knit Stars Season is shaping up to be extra-special.
