Sweater School
Knit Sweaters That Actually Fit …
Without Guessing, Frogging, or Frustration
In this live workshop, you’ll learn the exact decisions that make or break a sweater, so your next one fits beautifully and actually gets worn, not stuffed in a drawer.
Join me live on Saturday, 12/20
Replay Included!
Sweaters are one of the most exciting things a knitter can make ... but they’re also one of the most intimidating.
From gauge and sizing to construction and seams, it’s easy to get lost before you even cast on.
Sweater School is your friendly, beginner-safe workshop that takes the mystery out of sweater knitting.
Whether it’s your first sweater or your fifth, you'll walk away with clarity, confidence, and the essential skills to make your next sweater your best one yet.
The truth is, when a sweater doesn't turn out how you expected, it's not from lack of skill. It comes from missing a few key decisions at the beginning.
❌ Guessing your size
❌ Hoping gauge “works itself out”
❌ Choosing construction without knowing the trade-offs
Sweater School shows you how to make those decisions before you cast on – so your sweater fits the first time.

Every registrant gets ongoing access to the recording inside my online classroom. Watch at your own pace and revisit whenever you need a refresher.
I’m the designer and instructor behind Double the Stitches and host of the Stitch Society Membership, where I help knitters grow their skills and confidence with every project.
I still remember how overwhelmed I felt before knitting my first sweater — all the talk of gauge, ease, and construction felt like a secret code. If you’ve ever felt that way, Sweater School is for you.
This workshop simplifies the essentials, like sizing, ease, gauge, shaping, and seaming, so you can approach your next sweater with clarity and finish it with pride.
Sweater knitting doesn’t have to be scary … and I can’t wait to show you how fun it can be.
