Learn it...

Published author and well-loved knitwear designer Stefanie Japel shares her "purls" of wisdom with you as she teaches you to knit a lacy keyhole scarf. Knit Lab begins with essential lessons for new knitters, including choosing supplies, casting on, knitting, purling and binding off. Then Stefanie ups the ante by showing you a host of useful demonstrations that you can come back to again and again.

Learn how to increase, decrease, make a buttonhole, knit lace, block, seam and much, much more. Knit Lab also includes an in-depth discussion of how you can use your new skill set to create shaped garments, complete with examples that show how each technique was employed. You'll even learn to read patterns and charts, giving you the know-how you need to make anything you want! As a fun bonus, Stefanie will also show you how to knit with alternative materials like tulle and trash bags.

Her work has appeared in books and publications including Big Girl Knits, Stitch N Bitch Nation, KnitGrrl, Knit Wit, Not Another Teen Knitting Book, Interweave Knits, Knitscene, Knit.1 and Vogue Knitting.

Loved the instructor Stephanie, she made it fun and relaxing. she also went over it in areas that may have been harder for new beginners (such as myself) I really appreciate it. The music was even catchy and fun! I look forward to another class with her!

Excellent Very helpful for beginners or for those of us beginning again!  May 15, 2012

I was taught to knit at around age 8 or so but never really got interested in it at the time. I've tried over the years to re-teach myself and wound up very confused.

This course managed to 'clear up confusion and the instructions are very clear. The video is edited as such that you can see what she is doing and Stephanie doesn't knit too quickly when she is demonstrating the new stitches or techniques that are brought with each session. I've signed up for the rest of her courses ...

Excellent Look at me, I'm knitting!   April 27, 2012

Hi Stephanie! I wanted to learn how to knit and was looking for classes to attend and stumbled across Knit Lab. It is so awesome to go at my own pace and review the material as much as I need rather than to wait a week in between a class somewhere. I especially love the modern feel, the easy function of the web site, and although silly, I look forward to the little theme music too! I appreciate that you used a project to teach with that wasn't boring and had lots of different knitting ...
