Live Virtual Knitting Classes

  • Classes are taught live from Allyson’s NEW home studio in Porto, Portugal!

  • Each class features 2 cameras - a hand camera so you can see close ups of every detailed demo, and a face camera for face to face interaction.

  • Classes are kept small so everyone gets the personal attention they need to succeed!

  • Each class will be recorded and sent out to everyone to make it easy for student’s to rewatch important moments, or if a student needs to miss a live class.

  • After each class has 10 students sign up to attend the live classes, a recording only option will open up at 60% of the cost of the class. If you sign up for the recordings only option you won’t have access to attend the live classes, but you will be sent the recordings every week and be able to email Allyson any questions you have along the way.

I look forward to my classes with Allyson! Allyson is an engaging, fun and supportive teacher. I have grown as a knitter in my understanding of modifying patterns to fit my body and my vision. The community is so much fun and another reason I keep signing up.

Allyson is AMAZING. As a newbie of sorts to knitting her knowledge and helpfulness was amazing. She is so easy to understand and shares her knowledge and insight freely. She is simply the best. She eased my fears of knitting and instilled confidence in me I didn't think I had! I can't wait to take more classes from her to up my knitting game. I would highly recommend Allyson to every knitter both new and skilled.

Allyson’s classes are always fantastic. I always learn more than I’m expecting to and have a blast while I do. Allyson has an amazing ability to keep things light, make everyone feel comfortable to ask whatever question they have, not get bogged down with challenges, and just makes every class fun.
