The Knitting Academy
I developed the Knitting Academy so that knitters could improve their skills, and find greater happiness in an amazing craft.
What is the Knitting Academy?
It is a program developed to help you take your knitting to the next level. You will learn new skills, ways to perfect your technique and perfect your finished project. Here is your chance to raise your craft to the next level. In the Knitting Academy, we will cover topics that will improve and enrich your knitting. The topics include sessions on things such as cast-ons, bind-offs, tips and tricks – and the ever-popular Fixing Flukes and Flubs.
In addition to The Knitting Academy, there are a number of project driving classes.
Currently, all sessions are taught on-line.
Knitting Class Options
There are a couple of ways to take classes.
Are you looking to improve your current skills? If so, check out The Knitting Academy. Here you will find a variety of classes meant to help you refine your knitting techniques and become a more confident knitter.
Are you a project-driven knitter? Then check out my other classes. They are specific projects, often sweaters or shawls, that will help you build your skillset and knitting know-how.
What People Are Saying
“I’ve taken several of Jenna’s classes (sweater, brioche, beaded knitting), and they all have one thing in common – you get more than what you expect! In addition to covering the elements promised for the class, you learn extra things like advance planning, organizational habits, how to anticipate and eliminate mishaps, etc. Jenna shares invaluable tips along the way that not only help you with the specific item being made for the class, but that you will continue to use ongoing.”

“I have taken knitting classes from Jenna for the past four years. In those years I have acquired several new knitting skills. She has helped me to go from making simple scarves to knitting lace shawls, cable hats and sweaters with stranded work. Jenna is a highly skilled instructor who patiently sees you through the completion on whatever project you are working on.”
— Ann Feighner
“When I retired, I had a goal to become a good knitter. Jenna has helped me achieve that goal! I have taken sweater classes with her (Alfama, Carbeth, Armande and Narmin). I have taken shawl classes with her (Bermuda and Faery Wings-Creiddylad). She also taught me how to do color work, which really opened up a whole world of possibilities. But the best are her Knitting Academy classes where I learned specific techniques for blocking, swatching, short rows and increases and decreases. Jenna’s teaching style is relaxed and thorough. Take a class with her; you will NOT regret it!”

“I took Jenna's love note class and was amazed that a sweater actually fit me. The instructor was extremely patient with me since my knitting tension changed due to an accident. I will be starting on another love note sweater knowing the my instructor will be there to help me if I need it. Wonderful instructor. The cross me knot shawl is one of my favorite shawls. The design was well written and easy to understand. I have purchased all your designs but sadly I have only completed one
I think you are AWESOME, Jenna...thank you for all you have done for me. You, Jenna bring me joy”
