There are a few steps to take to go from wanting to make to learning to make, to actually whipping up the project of your dreams. Video tutorials and reels make it all look easy peasy! As quiet as it’s kept,” even O.G. knitters and crocheters can find their hands full of a sea of patterns, stitch techniques, and project goals.

At Miss Purl, we show makers how to craft the hobby of their dreams. We do one thing well – we help you learn how to make. We are determined to untangle craft overwhelm so that curious and overwhelmed knitters flourish in a healthy creative outlet.

I have been teaching and making for eons. I noticed that all crafters flow through a nurtured hobby cycle. They may enter the cycle at any point. Their journey generally involves all three cycles - Start, Go, and Grow. Our Nurture Your Hobby chart shares this process. Our classes and programming follow this learning model to help your hobby be all you’ve dreamt it to become.

Miss Purl helps you nurture and craft the hobby of your dreams.

“Kamaca thAAAAnk you so much for lesson! it is already paying dividends. On the train this morning, I was able to identify mistakes and then check my technique and happily knit. Makes it so much more phunn.”
— C.M.
