What is Craftsy?
I first discovered Craftsy in July 2012 through a friend who shared a link to a free Short Rows Knitting Class. I have not learnt this technique so I enrolled in the class. Carol Feller is a fantastic teacher. She explains and shows you how to do short rows using several easy methods. I was able to watch and learn in my own time which is usually when the kids are napping or asleep at night. I have been hooked on Craftsy classes ever since :). What is Craftsy? Craftsy is a worldwide craft community offering online classes 24/7. It also has a patterns marketplace where independent designers can sell their patterns; a supplies shop with great deals on yarn, fabric, and class kits; and a projects section where members share pictures of their latest craft successes. With over two million members and counting, Craftsy has something for just about everyone, in categories ranging from quilting, sewing, knitting, painting, photography, cooking, and more.

Online education, no matter what subject, is a great alternative to in-person classes for a number of reasons. With many online learning opportunities being on-demand, you are able to learn at your own pace, any time. Online learning is a fantastic alternative to in-store craft classes for people with busy schedules or who have difficulty leaving the house. It also allows you to watch a troubling section over-and-over again, so you can see exactly how a technique is carried out, or refer back to your class for relevant concepts before beginning any new projects.

I am enrolled in all Craftsy’s free classes but have not...
