NOT A DAY GOES BY WITHOUT YOU THINKING ABOUT YARN ...
Whether you picked up your first hook and needles last week, you've been crocheting or knitting for a little while or you’ve been following patterns for years,
you love the process, the touch of yarn, taking the time to craft and getting to gift something you made with your own 2 hands, am I right?
There are just a few things that you’re struggling with right now...
BEFORE JOINING THE STITCHING SQUAD:
AFTER JOINING THE STITCHING SQUAD:
You don't have many yarn lovers around you to share your excitement and enthusiasm with and your friends and family just don't get it. (I've been there, the weirdo carrying her yarn everywhere and getting all the side looks).
Never have to craft alone again because you're part of a welcoming and warm community of like-minded crafters.
When you're halfway through a project and get stuck trying to decioher the pattern, you have no-one to ask. You don't want to give up, but it just doesn't make sense to you.
You have a place to ask all your yarn, knitting and crochet questions and actually get answers and the help and support you need.
You’ve made a few small projects but you’re scared to commit to bigger projects that you really want to try like garments. What if you get it wrong and you wasted so much crochet/knitting time?
You're not alone when you plan and dive into those bigger, scary projects. You have the guidance and support you need every step of the way to make sure you don't waste hours stitching.
You don’t know what you don’t know: there are SO many options and techniques out there you haven’t heard about yet. It’s kind of hard to look for a youtube tutorial for something you don’t know exists?!
You discover and demystify knitting & crochet techniques, experience and know-how on a daily basis.
You're spending way too much time browsing Pinterest never to find the actual pattern you’re looking for. And when you finally find it, turns out it's not in English or it's way too advanced for you.
You have access to a growing library of easy knitting and crochet patterns to pick from knowing you can ask the designer for help when you need it.
Joining the Stitching Squad is like waving a magic wand and turn all those hours of wasted stitches and frustration into knitting and crochet confidence?
Improve BOTH Your Knitting AND Crochet Skills While Making Like-Minded Crafting Friends Worldwide!
AS A STITCHING SQUAD MEMBER YOU'LL
Find the inspiration and confidence to turn your creativity into beautiful creations
Gain years of stitching experience & add new skills and techniques to your crochet/knitting toolbox
Have fun, connect & make crafting friends worldwide who just get it
Have we not formally met?
If not, let's do something about it!
Hey! I'm Hortense
Mom, avid baker and lover of all things yarn
(hey, I even have a pattern Etsy shop with over 8000 sales ;))
My mom taught me to knit, one summer when I was 10 bored on the beach. From there my love (some would say obsession) of yarn was born and I never stopped stitching.
I taught myself to crochet a few years ago thanks to blogs like mine and fell in love all over again.
You see, I used to stitch on my own. None of my friends and family were crafting (my mom had stoped a long time ago). I didn't have anyone with whom to exchange about projects, stitches or techniques.
Sure, I loved it, but I made a whole lot of plain garter stitch blankets, not knowing all the possibilities yarn had to offer.
That's when I started to dig into the online world of yarn and discovered so many techniques, constructions and concepts I had never heard about before. That's when I realized how much knitting and crochet had in common.
Fast forward a few years and now I run my blog Knitting with Chopsticks fulltime where I share my easy knitting & crochet patterns.
My goal is to break down knitting and crochet so they become simple enough for you to create exactly what you want, the way you want it.
After a few years of sharing my patterns online, I realized it wasn't enough. Too many crafters are alone in their crafting journey. I used to feel like such a weirdo being the only one carrying my yarn around everywhere. Not only did it get lonely but it was also really frustrating when I just wished I could turn to a friend and ask a quick question when I was stuck on a pattern or needed an opinion on my yarn choice.
That's why I'm so passionate about bringing you the power of a loving community of crafters to cheer you on and learn with.
There's nothing like having a place to expand your skills, have fun, and discover all the possibilities yarn has to offer with people who just get it, and that's exactly what you'll find inside the Stitching Squad!
Don't stay alone in your stitching journey!

Chopstick's Stitching Squad welcomes new crafters!
However, please note this is not a complete beginner course. The absolute basic stitches of knitting and crochet are not included in the membership. We're always happy to point you to great YouTube tutorials and help you troubleshoot though along the way.
So have many Squad Members!
You'll probably already know a lot of what's being shared in the workshops as they are planned with less experienced crafters in mind, but I would be very surprised you didn't learn anything. There is always more to learn and some refreshers are often helpful.
In addition, you don't only get the workshops with the membership but patterns and Sip & Stitch parties are loved by members of all levels.
It's not mandatory!
Your member area on my website has all the workshop library, pattern download information etc.
Sip & Stitch parties are held on Zoom.
However, without joining the Facebook group, you won't fully enjoy the community aspect of the Stitching Squad has to offer.
Sure! Just send me an email with the patterns you want each month and I'll make sure you get them.
For new patterns, I'll add them in the member area to download directly.
The membership price will most likely increase as the content library grows, but once you sign up, you lock in the price for the entire duration of your membership (as long as your account is in good standing).
However, if you cancel your membership and would like to join again, it will be at the current price at that time.
The days and times of workshops will vary depending on speaker availability. We aim to pick a time that works for most people.
The Sip&Stitch parties are currently being held on Tuesday at 10 am ET.
If you still have questions, just send me an email at hortense@knittingwithchopsticks.com and I'll get back to you asap!
Start improving your crafting with likeminded friends today.
