You've got the basics down.
You can knit and purl, but somewhere between the simple projects and the beautiful ones you've been dreaming about, there's a gap.
The Knit Happy Summit: Beyond the Basics was built to close that gap.
Over four days, you'll learn from some of the most trusted teachers in the fiber world, the kind who break it all down so it finally clicks and share the tips and tricks that genuinely transform how you approach your projects.
But it's not just about picking up new techniques.
It's about finding your people. Knitters who share your passion and understand the thrill of creating something beautiful with your own hands … and realizing you don't have to figure any of this out alone.
Get ready to fuel your creativity!
During the Knit Happy Summit, you will ...
Turn colorwork into your superpower!
Explore fair isle and slip stitch colorwork so you can bring color inspiration into your projects confidently.
Discover the deeper joy of knitting with intention.
Whether you're knitting a prayer shawl for a friend or donating to your community, we'll explore how knitting can connect us beyond the finished object.
Say goodbye to that lost feeling mid-project!
Learn to read your knitting and memorize stitch patterns so they feel like second nature, and every row you knit is more enjoyable.
Master next-level skills!
Discover why your test swatch is your most powerful knitting tool, learn how to adjust any pattern to any gauge, and confidently choose and substitute yarns, including non-wool options like silk, linen & plant-based fibers.
Finally, knit garments that fit your actual body!
Discover how to spot and fix that frustrating extra fabric at the back of your sweater with a few simple measurements and smart adjustments.
Expand your knitting technique toolkit!
Ditch the cable needle, dive into double knitting, explore nupps, and finally understand how to fit a stitch pattern into a shawl shape without the math panic.
This is your chance to finally tackle the techniques you've been dreaming about and experience the joy of learning alongside knitters who get it.
You'll walk away knowing you can actually do this.

DAY 4: Knitting It All Together
Join me for a special masterclass to close out the summit! We're going to tackle the mistakes that make knitters freeze, frog, or give up on a project entirely … and I'm going to show you that so many of them are easily fixable. You've got this.
Then, we'll gather one last time for a Summit Farewell Call on Zoom!
While we're together, we will celebrate everyone's wins, announce the Stitch Society Membership Scholarship Winner, and all the Bingo Prize Winners.
Plus … I've got some tips to share with you for carrying the Knit Happy Summit energy into your everyday knitting.
To wrap up the event, I'll host a final Stitch Session so we can all spend some time together in community before we say farewell until the next summit.
As you can see from these amazing value-packed presentations, this is an event you do not want to miss.

If you've got techniques you've been meaning to try (colorwork, lace, mosaic, cables …) but they keep getting pushed to “someday,” you're in exactly the right place.
You don't need another YouTube rabbit hole. You need real guidance, the right teachers, and an “ah-ha!” moment or two. That's exactly what you'll find here.
This is your chance to finally tackle what's been sitting on your list and create the beautiful projects you've been dreaming of.
The Knit Happy Summit was designed to take you from "intimidated" to "I've got this" with joy, and it's completely free to join.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PRAISE!
Here's what some past attendees have had to say:
You're ready to finally tackle that "someday" list and knit with real joy!

HAVE QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS
When is the Summit?
The Knit Happy! Summit will run from Thursday, May 14 through Sunday, May 17.
Presentations from our speakers are pre-recorded, and you'll have a full 48 hours to watch each day's content – no matter what time zone you are in!
Are the presentations live?
To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit.
However, the speakers will be hanging out in our private Facebook group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions!
There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the week.
What if i can't attend live?
We know life is busy, and time zones can be a real pain!
The pre-recorded presentations are available for 48 hours for free, to help you fit them into your schedule, no matter where you are in the world.
There are also some live elements we'd love for you to join if you can – there's nothing quite like participating alongside others in real time!
And if you want total flexibility, the VIP Happy Knitter's Toolkit gives you unlimited ongoing access so you never have to miss a thing.
Is it really free?
Yes! 
The Knit Happy Summit is 100% free to attend.
Once you register, you’ll get access to all of the presentations during the event dates at no cost. Each session will be available for you to watch for 48 hours after it goes live – plenty of time to catch the ones you’re most excited about!
If you’d like more flexibility and time, you’ll also have the option to upgrade to a VIP Happy Knitters Toolkit, which gives you ongoing access to all the presentations (plus bonus goodies from our speakers).
But, upgrading is completely optional … you can enjoy the whole 4-day event without spending a dime.
Why are the presentations only free for 48 hours?
Presentations are free for 48 hours to keep us all taking action together and to keep the feel similar to an in-person event where you’d have to attend live.
For ongoing access, you can grab the VIP Happy Knitters Toolkit and some incredible bonuses here.
I'll share all the details of your upgrade options after you claim your free summit ticket on this page.
Thank you for being a part of making this event amazing!
Will all the speakers get my email address?
No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Double the Stitches email list (the event host) so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations.
After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not automatically get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically by requesting their gift or resource.
That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to 20+ email lists that you're not interested in.
You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.
Are the videos captioned or transcribed?
Yes. All presentations have closed captioning.
Notes are also available for each presentation, along with our upgrade options, which you’ll see after registering for the event.
Please reach out if there’s anything we can do to ensure you’re able to enjoy this event.
I still have questions!
If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.
However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at knithappysummit@gmail.com
