Here’s what our students are saying.

"Not to be all melodramatic or anything, but this workshop was life-changing. I loved knitting but didn’t have the confidence to create my own designs. Now I feel free to explore and create in ways I never imagined!"

—Katie G.

"This course demystified the design process for me. I now have the tools I need to take an idea and turn it into a pattern I’m proud to share."

—Meredith K.

"Through this course, becoming a knitwear designer became so much more tangible and seems much more achievable now, too. I'm not there yet, but ideas and concepts are jotted down and the excitement of 'it can actually be done, I can do this' is my constant companion."

— Current Student

"I loved how accessible and clear the course was. The lifetime access is a huge bonus—it means I can revisit lessons as I grow and take on more ambitious projects!"

—Ashley O

"This class has helped me finally design my first pattern (a hat) which is in testing and will be published soon!"

— Current Student

"I took Pip and Pin’s design course, and it was exactly what I needed to get my first pattern published. From inspiration to developing the pattern and publishing it - and everything in between - the course is a step by step guide with great resources added and no questions left unanswered. 10/10 recommend!" 

— Kerstin A

I just loved that there was a course created to begin with! I have searched and searched for online courses to learn how to create patterns and having the opportunity to be a part of this was amazing. I learned so much in this process, even if I never create patterns of my own, I now have a better understanding of patterns in general. That knowledge alone will help me knit garments in the future and I love that. 

— Abby L

I have ideas, sketches, half-knit projects, and the chaos of half-typed and scribbled patterns. This course helped streamline the process while energizing and focusing my efforts. After taking this course, my first test call will go out shortly! 

— Jane D

This workshop by Pip & Pin was excellent. It has given me the confidence to take the ideas rolling around in my brain and get them into a garment and onto paper as a pattern to be shared. The course was clear, concise and comprehensive. Megan was quick to respond to questions, giving support if needed. A well thought out course. 

— Natalie W

"I’m so happy I took the course. I trust my knowledge about knitwear design now and have now started my own business."

— Current Student

I’ve been dabbling with knitwear design but struggled to find valuable information. This course was broken down in a logical order, and each topic was thoughtfully covered. Each section included many valuable resource materials. I’ve gained confidence in my ideas and now have one place with all the resources I could need in my knitwear design journey. I would, and already have recommended this course to others. 

— Tracy JM 

Megan did a great job of helping me get my design aspirations started! After the class, I learned so much and am now so eager to put my ideas to paper. The videos were clear, and helpful instructional materials really aided the process. 

— Sarah A

"What a wonderful course! Megan has gone above and beyond by offering a course that explores all of the ins and outs of pattern design! This course was well thought out and I would recommend it to anyone!" 

— Erica T

"I searched and searched for courses to learn how to create patterns and this was perfect for beginners. The style sheet was what has always stopped my progress. I feel like this was the motivation I needed for forward motion." 

— Leah S

"I like how everything was laid out in a very logical order, and each video was focused on that topic without a lot of bouncing around. Having it spread out over a few weeks allowed each section to be covered and not rushed past in an effort to cover so much material in a shorter span of time. "

— Carry L

"I really love the early weeks of the course – it was almost like a permission slip to imagine the knitting and wanted to do and put it into practice. "

— Rebecca G
