Meet Your Host
Hi, I'm Ashleigh!
I’m all about the journey - the journey of choosing my own adventures in everything from knitting to world travel. I design with bold enthusiam and incorporate mosaic colorwork in my designs to capture the essence of the places life I have visited. My book, Mosaic Knitting Workshop, shares this passion for creating stunning and bold knitwears with fellow creatives (including those that don't know how skilled they are just yet).
I created "Shawl Design Unraveled," a course that empowers other knitters to bring their visions to life, because I find people with a passion to learn new skills inspiring. There are few things in life more satisfying than working with others to unlock their confidence in their ability to create art.
I'm so excited to share with you the "Knit Your Own Adventure" Summit! Whether you're a beginner yearning to explore colorwork or intricate lace, or an intermediate knitter ready to conquer brioche, this summit offers a personalized journey to unleash your inner artist. Come do just that with a community who will undoutedly inspire you - like they do me.
