🧶It’s hip to be square
BY SHELLEY BRANDER
One of our upcoming Stars will teach this architectural origami knitting technique.
We’re getting so close to the big day…March 29th!
That’s when the new Stars for this year’s premiere, Knit Stars: Your Season of Genius will announce they’re going to be the first Stars of our second decade. 💥
All last year, as we celebrated our 10th Anniversary Season, I kept thinking…what next?
How can we build on the global success of this format, while keeping the core of what’s made us, us?
After all, it’s inspired tens of thousands of viewers in 65 countries and dramatically raised the bar on how knitters and crocheters connect and learn. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, as they say.
But also, creatives gonna create! 😎 So we’re keeping what you love, and adding some new innovations, too.

This organic brioche technique will be part of Your Season of Genius.
We’re keeping the documentaries and classes, and layering in more creative process. How do these people’s brains work? Where does all this genius really come from?
We’re keeping the format the same, and layering in more time between class debuts, a private YouTube link so you can easily stream to a smart TV and let the modules auto-advance, and a digital journal to help give your journey more structure and meaning.
We’re keeping the exclusive bonus patterns from the Stars (think sweaters and cool accessories), pairing them with Star Makers for exclusive kits…and layering on an option to make a square with each Star’s technique. Connect them all at the end into a blanket, or even a cardigan or bag, to commemorate all you’ve learned.
