Inside my 14 day knitting challenge you'll get

  • Easy-to follow video courses on how to knit both the original Bonfire Shawl pattern AND the light weight edition from start to finish. You just need to know the very basic knit and purl stitches to join in!
  • Techniques you'll learn: garter tab shawl start, how to knit the Linen stitch, double increase stitches, a picot edge border, and so much more!
  • A downloadable workbook with the pattern and our best tips and resources for knitting success.
  • Seven live zoom sessions with me, your teacher, and one of the Knit Collage coaches to help answer in the moment questions.
  • Technical support in our private app space to answer any and all of your questions.
  • A welcoming, energetic, and kind community of members to hold you accountable and keep you motivated to actually complete your project.

If this sounds like you, then you're in the right place:

  • You are a beginner maker who wants to take your skills to the next level.
  • You often make mistakes in your knitting but don't know how and where to get help.
  • You struggle to actually finish projects.
  • You wish there was a community of fiber and color loving friends to connect and geek out about knitting details with.
  • You are looking for a deeper way to tap into your creativity and get free but don't know how.
  • You are looking for a healthy way to cope with the stresses of daily life.

Let me be your knitting guide!

When you join in the Bonfire Shawl Knitting Challenge, you’ll get me as your coach and guide to teach you valuable knitting techniques to take your skills to the next level. Over the last fifteen years I’ve taught thousands of knitters through hundreds of video tutorials and live coaching. Myself and Knit Collage coaches Cheryl Kubat and Pia Thadani, will be there with you at every step of the way to support you as you knit this design. The Bonfire Shawl gives you the opportunity to level up your skills in a simple project, which means you only need to knit for thirty minutes or less a day to complete this project in 14 days.

Hear what our customers have to say

"I've enjoyed every minute of this Challenge. I've learned SO MUCH already. I feel like the most fundamental things are available to me now. You guys teaching how to tink was MASSIVE because that's where I would always stop. I'd get frustrated or I would hit a roadblock and I wouldn't know how to undo it but now I've had to do it three times in my project. My stitch count is perfect, everything looks perfect and I feel so empowered that now I have the ability to continue on. That's what kept me from becoming a knitter. The fact that you are all so supportive, the community is so amazing, and you teach these skills...I feel like I'm going to have this forever and I just want to keep learning more and more and more."

Kim

“The encouragement from the participants and Knit Collage to everyone who posted a picture or asked for help or just shared excitement about their project was really heartwarming and supportive. Especially for new knitters like me, a community of positive people is so important to help us keep going and continue learning our craft. I gained a lot of confidence in my knitting during this experience. I really enjoyed working with the different textures in my kit and am so proud of the beautiful cardigan I now get to wear and claim as something I made for myself." 

Jenny

“This experience made me more confident to try things I have never done before. There is so much help within the community, I don't have a fear of failure."
