craftsy-logo

We all know that I love Craftsy with all my heart. Not only do some of the best people in the yarn industry work there but they have been a breath of fresh air in just about ALL Crafting Communities.

It looks like they are getting noticed even more as Forbes just announced they rate Craftsy #19 Most Promising Company of 2014. How cool is that?

I would like to congratulate Craftsy on the wonderful success AND I want to let you all in on some of my favorite Craftsy classes.

Well, the best class on Craftsy is of course my class *wink*.

titleCardMittens and Glove Galore takes a knitter from beginner to advanced with a variety of 5 patterns that teach everything from working with double pointed needles, picking up stitches, working in lace, reading charts, thrumming and stranded colorwork. Get this class for 50% off now and don’t miss out on what over 7000 other knitters have learned 🙂

 

 

A new class  recently added to the wonderful Craftsy knitting classes is Choose Your Own Sweater Adventure with the amazing Eunny Jang.

 

 

 

Something that all knitters need to know are Seaming Handknits by Chris Blysma  and

If you are interested in trying out some of the other craft classes available I can tell you that I am enrolled in many…here are a few 🙂

Go take a look at these classes and more. Trust me…you might find me as a fellow student in your class.

Frequently Asked Questions

Craftsy got a pretty cool nod, right?

Oh my goodness, yes! Forbes totally named Craftsy one of their Most Promising Companies for 2014. I mean, how awesome is that?!

Which of your classes is your absolute fave?

Well… *wink*… my Mittens and Glove Galore class is definitely the best one on Craftsy. It takes you from beginner to totally advanced with five super fun patterns.

What are some other good knitting classes on Craftsy?

Honestly, there are so many good ones! You should totally check out Eunny Jang’s “Choose Your Own Sweater Adventure,” and for finishing up your projects, “Seaming Handknits” and “Blocking Handknits” are must-haves.

Are there any sewing or quilting classes you recommend?

Yes! If you’re curious about other crafts, I’ve actually taken “Machine Quilting: Free Motion and More,” and “Design and Sew A-line Skirts.” They were a blast!

So, will I see you in any other classes as a student?

You just might! I love taking classes myself and I’m always looking to learn something new… maybe I’ll see you there!
