Ready to Level Up Your Knitting Skills?
You're More Ready Than You Think!
Hey—I’m Johnny V, host of the Fearless Knitter Summit and editor of The Yarnist, a daily knitting newsletter.
If you’ve ever looked at a pattern and thought, “I could never knit that,” this event is for you.
Most of what scares knitters isn’t actually hard—it’s just unfamiliar. That fear fades fast when you understand how things work.
This summit is about turning confusion into clarity. You’ll learn smarter ways to think about your knitting, pick up powerful new techniques, and meet teachers who’ll help you realize you’re far more capable than you think.
Because once you understand something, fear doesn’t stand a chance.
What would you knit if you felt unstoppable?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What IS The Fearless Knitter Summit?
It’s a free, 4-day online event where passionate knitters gather to swap tricks, try new techniques, and finally tackle those projects you’ve been meaning to make. Think of it as a creative retreat… minus the travel and shared bathrooms.
So this is REALLY free?
Yup!
OK, but is it actually free? Like… FREE free?
Yes — truly. You can attend all 4 days, learn from our speakers, and watch 48-hour replays with no cost and no credit card required.
But fair warning: after you register, we’re going to send some emails — with some pretty tempting upgrade offers. They’re packed with value (we’re talking patterns, bonuses, VIP access…), but if you’re just here for the free stuff, that’s totally fine. No guilt trips, no hard sells. Just a lot of knitting and good vibes.
Where does the event take place?
Right in your living room. Or kitchen. Or yarn-strewn corner of the guest room. If you’ve got internet and a comfy chair, you’re in.
What time are the sessions, and what time zone are we talking?
All sessions are scheduled in Eastern Time (UTC-4) and typically run between 11 AM and 4 PM each day. We’ll include the schedule in your emails, so you never have to do time zone math before your coffee kicks in.
But you can double check your timezone HERE.
What if I can’t make it live?
No problem — your free ticket includes 48-hour replays of every session. So whether you’re busy, in a different time zone, or just forgot what day it is (happens to the best of us), you’ll have time to catch up without missing a stitch.
Need more time? You’ll have the chance to upgrade to the Summit SuperPass for lifetime access to all the on-demand knitting magic.
Do I need any special yarn or supplies?
Nope. Bring your favorite yarn, needles, and that half-finished project you’ve been meaning to finish. If a session does use something specific, we’ll let you know in advance — and it’s always optional. No last minute shopping panic needed.
Will I get to connect with other knitters?
You will — and not just in a “comment and disappear” kind of way. The live chat during sessions is full of friendly, like-minded knitters sharing encouragement, tips, and the occasional yarn confession. It’s a warm little corner of the internet we think you’ll love.
Can I ask questions during the event?
Yep! Every day includes a LIVE Q&A as well as an Expert Panel Discussion, and it’s a great chance to get advice, hear other knitters’ questions, or just lurk quietly while absorbing brilliant answers. It’s casual, friendly, and no one’s going to call on you unless you raise your (virtual) hand.
Will there be recordings?
Yes! All sessions include 48-hour replays with your free ticket. Want to rewatch, take notes, or knit along later at your own pace? The Summit SuperPass gives you Lifetime Access, plus a bunch of bonus goodies.
How do I access the sessions?
We’ll email you links and reminders — no complicated logins, no tech drama.
Still have questions?
Just reply to any of our emails or contact us directly at HELLO@YARNIST.CO. We’re actual humans and we love helping fellow knitters.
