INSTRUCTORS
Jodi Brown and Tracie Millar
Two Canadian sisters with an insatiable passion for all things fiber! From knitting to crochet (and beyond!) we're on a creative journey that's been over eight years in the making.
You can find us on our YouTube knitting podcast, where we share all kinds of knitting and crochet inspiration, our latest projects, and dive deep into the world of yarn. We have both caught the design bug and love creating simple, fun to make accessory patterns for knitters.
When we're not hanging out on YouTube, we love to hit the road on fun fibre trips and bring you along with us. It’s our absolute favourite thing to go out and meet the fiber community in person.
