Hi, I'm Hannah
Knitting has been part of my life for over 45 years, shaping not only my creativity but also my patience, resilience, and joy in teaching.
Like many knitters, I started young—four years old, to be exact.
My first projects were full of mistakes (dropped stitches galore!), but I was hooked. By my teens, I had outgrown what my family could teach me, so I turned to library books, pushed myself into “too difficult” patterns, and learned through trial, error, and a whole lot of perseverance.
Knitting Became More Than a Hobby
As a teenager, I developed multiple chronic conditions. Life changed, but knitting remained my constant.
I found comfort in the rhythm of the stitches, the predictability of each row, and the satisfaction of a finished piece. More than that, I discovered the power of preparation—keeping all my tools, yarn, and notes in one place so I could pick up my project whenever I was able.
By recognising the beauty of ‘one stitch at a time,’ I also discovered how much knitting could teach me about life as well as the stitches on the needles.
That’s the philosophy I now bring to my courses and teaching: knitting can feel easy, enjoyable, and accessible, no matter where you are in your journey of life and knitting.
Why I Teach Knitting
Knitting isn’t just about following a pattern—it’s about feeling confident, creative, and connected to what’s on your needles.
That’s why I started Knit With Hannah:
✨ To simplify techniques that often feel overwhelming.
✨ To help knitters trust themselves, not just the instructions.
✨ To bring ease and confidence to every stage of the knitting journey.
With my step-by-step courses, knitting feels natural—like sitting with a friend, learning at your own pace, and feeling encouraged every step of the way.

A Few Fun Things About Me
I drink Rooibos, English Breakfast, or herbal teas all day long—even in summer!
Yoga has been part of my life every day since 2012.
I’m a huge sci-fi and period drama fan—Doctor Who, Outlander, Red Dwarf, Fringe… I love them all!
And, of course, there’s always something on my needles!
Knitting has been my lifelong companion, and I’d love to help make it yours too.
