gold-star-1

From Asia to Europe and all over North America, we've gathered together 10 creative geniuses to teach and deeply inspire you. 

Nothing else like this exists!
Here's why thousands of makers in 65+ countries
look forward to the premiere of Knit Stars each year.
It's your passport to 10 masterclasses filmed on three continents.
We curate a cohort of experts doing the most innovative things in yarn, then fly to each of their homes and capture their life, their spirit, and their exclusive-to-Knit Stars lessons. It feels like a personal guided tour into the hearts and homes of some of the most beautiful people and cultures. Then we premiere them one at a time, starting this fall — in a huge, global online celebration.
Watch anytime, download or stream to any device. They're yours to keep!
Some days, you want to dive in deep to a new, intriguing technique. Other days, you just want to chill on the couch and watch gorgeous, inspiring stories while you stitch or simply relax. Knit Stars: Your Season of Genius has it all — and fits beautifully into real life.
An instant global community of fun, like-minded, open-hearted makers.
As an Earlybird, you'll have instant access to the Earlybird Experience, with behind-the-scenes updates of the making of the Season… plus our pop-up Season of Genius Facebook group where you can connect with other owners — and often, with the Stars themselves!
Exclusive new patterns from some of the most brilliant minds in craft and fashion.
Each Star plans to include a bonus pattern for their teaching topic. Explore your own stash for yarn options, or shop the new Knit Stars Marketplace for custom yarns, kits, and more.
Live Q+A with the Stars!
Your Season culminates in a live Q+A with the Stars of Your Season of Genius. Don’t miss this chance to connect with your 10 new yarn besties! Will include prizes and a recording so you can re-watch the fun anytime.
