    I’m Jessica Ays, the knitwear designer and instructor behind Double the Stitches, the owner of the Stitch Society Membership, and the host of the Knit Happy! Summit.

    My mission? To make this timeless craft accessible and attainable for knitters of all skill levels by providing resources, support, and community—empowering you to explore the world of knitting with confidence and joy!

    My journey as a designer began when I started creating my own patterns for a small group of knitters at the local yarn store where I worked.

    Over time, my unique teaching approach, combined with my friendly, supportive, and calming nature, attracted a larger following. That growth inspired me to publish my designs and create workshops to help knitters expand their toolbox of yarnie knowledge.

    I’m dedicated to fostering a world where every knitter feels empowered to explore their creativity. Through my patterns, workshops, and community, I provide the tools and support you need to tackle new challenges and projects with confidence!
