Scenes from multiple seasons of Knit Stars Masterclasses
Supercharge your creative energy with Knit Stars, the ultimate online learning experience for Yarnies.
I'm Shelley Brander, the founder of Knit Stars, and I know how it can feel to be alone in your creative passion. For my first few decades as a knitter, I was on my own! When, at age 35, I pivoted from my broadcast production career and opened a local yarn store, I saw firsthand how one great teacher can truly change your knitting life.
I created Knit Stars to bring the best teaching to knitters and crocheters around the globe. I used to be afraid to fly, but now I travel to remote locations around the world, taking you directly into the homes and studios of the most brilliant designers and difference-makers.
Now in its 9th year, Knit Stars has become a learning platform like no other. With feature-film quality production, documentary yarn stories combined with workshops you own and can return to again and again. Knit Stars gives us all a place to grow - in confidence and connection.
I personally invite you to join us. Wherever you are in your journey, you truly deserve the Knit Stars Masterclass experience. You and your creativity are worth it!

"Her classes and books actually changed my entire wardrobe!!! Literally changed the way I dress myself based on what's actually flattering! And I've never made a sweater I don't love. She's a game-changer for sure!!!"
Andrea
"OMG!! Amy Herzog's Class is worth the price of Knit Stars 2. I will watch it over and over, I will make swatches, I will try on sweaters until I find my fit. Then I will knit. Thank you Amy and Knit Stars."
Wanda
"Amy was my reason for signing up for KS to begin with, and yes I started with #2 also. Now I'm an All Star!! I agree, Amy's approach to measuring your swatch has been a real "aha!" for me. And I'm knitting my projects with more confidence because I feel more confident in my swatch measurements. Thank you Amy, and thank you Knit Stars!"
Pamela
"I literally have just started watching Amy Herzog’s session from KS2 (yes I’m that far behind). But dang!! Her video about how to approach your gauge swatch differently and with predictability is revolutionary to me and my sweater knitting. I just applied her technique to the swatch I made for the sweater that’s currently on my needles. And I now realize I’m knitting a Barbie-sized sweater. 🤣 Thank you, Amy Herzog💕!! This is amazing information. I just wish I’d watched this two years ago. KS is the best!"
