🌟 You're Already Crushing It With Basic Knitting Projects...
But Now You're Craving More of a Challenge.

You’re already doing so much of the awesome stuff:

  • You’re totally eyeing those intricate patterns, dreaming of the masterpieces you could create.
  • Your yarn stash is probably giving off serious “main character” energy, packed with gorgeous indie-dyed goodness.
  • And you may even be probably connecting with your fellow yarn lovers online, sharing the wins (and maybe the occasional “oops!”).

But even with all that passion, something might be holding you back from truly finishing those dream projects.

If only those sneaky mistakes would stop popping up and sucking the joy right out of your craft.

Right now you’re staring at a few simple projects you’ve already knit, your yarn stash is probably taking over a corner of your house, and you’ve got a whole library of ambitious patterns just whispering your name. 

You’re probably terrified of ruining that gorgeous, expensive indie-dyed yarn on a project that just won’t come out right.

You secretly wish someone would just hand you the darn instructions on how to fix it when things go sideways, instead of making you frog hours of work.

You keep seeing amazing techniques online – brioche, lace, colorwork – but trying them feels like walking a tightrope without a net. One wrong stitch and it’s all over, right?

It doesn’t have to be this way!

During the Knit Your Own Adventure Summit,
you'll learn how to...

Confidently fix any mistake that pops up, whether it’s a dropped stitch, a wonky cable, or a colorwork mishap. No more sweating over every stitch, just smooth, stress-free knitting. Finally!

Rescue those sad, unfinished objects from the “time out corner” and turn them into stunning, completed masterpieces you’re actually proud to show off.

Master intimidating techniques like complex cables, dazzling colorwork, or delicate lace, knowing you have the skills to fix any snag that comes your way. No more intimidation, just pure creative flow.

Transform your knitting from a source of frustration to a joyful escape, where mistakes are just minor detours, not roadblocks.

Finally connect with a vibrant, supportive community of knitters who get your love for yarn and all things fiber. You’ll be inspired by a diverse range of voices and projects, making your creative journey even richer.

Meet Your Hostess

Hi! I’m Ashleigh, and I’m obsessed with helping knitters conquer their creative challenges. My knitting journey? Full of dropped stitches and frogging fails, just like yours.

My mission? To empower knitters from all walks of life to ditch the dread and knit with unshakeable confidence. Because in my world, every creative voice deserves to be heard and celebrated. 

I wrote the best-selling Mosaic Knitting Workshop and designed 55+ patterns, but what truly lights me up is empowering knitters like you to ditch the dread and knit with unshakeable confidence. At the Knit Your Own Adventure Summit, you’ll learn those exact strategies to turn your knitting “oopsies” into proud “aha!” moments. 

Grab your ticket and join me and 20+ experts for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you love every single stitch.

✨ Real Knitters. Real Wins. ✨
See What Last Year's Knitters Had to Say:

"I was blown away by all the presentations. I have been doing lace knitting for several years (self taught by reading the patterns and making lots of mistakes and frogging) and I watched the 2 lace knitting presentations with my eyes glued to the screen. I am so thankful I was able to be a part of this summit."
Betty
"I loved the summit and the range of different presentations. I am glad I could advance in the skills I learned/developed this past year, so what was presented was like passing to the next higher-up skill set of knitting...Now, I think I grasp what I am supposed to do. It's those AHA moments that make this so wonderful"
Sue
"I wasn't expecting this to be so big and inspiring! I loved the diverse speakers and topics! I walked away from some courses ready to try something new or something that I have been putting off. I appreciated the resources and the Expedition Pass to watch the courses on my own time!"
Kellia
"This event was absolutely incredible! The amount of free education on offer around so many different skills and all the tips and tricks that you might not think about was just amazing. So much value whether you get the expedition pass or not. I could not be happier with this event!"

"The Knit Your Own Adventure Summit has something for everyone, especially new and intermediate knitters. Even advanced knitters will learn a thing or two about various techniques. The pre-recorded demos and discussions were clear and informative while the live events/Facebook group were more social and fun. Highly recommend."
Heather
"This summit was set up to make it easy to hear all the presentations at our own pace. The speakers were all knowledgeable and talented. It has made me want to try all kinds of 'new to me' types of knitting. Thank you Ashleigh- it was well done!"
Sandra
"I thought of these four days as a "Knitting Retreat" and allowed myself to really take time away from everyday life and devote a big chunk of each day JUST for my knitting practice and craft."
Karen

Have questions? We've got answers!

This summit is for adventurous beginner and intermediate knitters who understand basic knitting skills and are looking to expand to new projects and techniques. We’ll be specifically talking knitters who crave inspiration and want to build their confidence in fixing mistakes so they can take on more adventurous projects. But anyone else who wants to get started with knitting or take their passion to the next level is welcome to join us!

 

We believe the world of knitting is richer when it embraces all backgrounds and experiences. This summit welcomes knitters of all skill levels, ethnicities, abilities, genders, and identities. We celebrate the unique perspectives everyone brings to the craft!

The main portion of the summit runs from October 7-10, 2025 with a kick-off party happening on October 6. You’ll also be able to join our private Facebook community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away!

While most of the presentations for the summit are pre-recorded, there are some live elements, and the pre-recorded presentations are only available for 48 hours with your free ticket. So we encourage you to attend live if you can! We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to attend the live sessions, watch the pre-recorded presentations, and participate with others who are passionate about learning more about knitting.

However, if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions live, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the Expedition Pass for extended access.

Your free ticket includes 48 hour access to each of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the Expedition Pass after registering, which will give you extended access to the presentations along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!

To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit. However, the speakers will be hanging out in our private Facebook group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events and Q&A sessions throughout the week.

No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Ashleigh Wempe Design’s email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.

 

Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don’t have to worry about getting added to 20+ email lists that you’re not interested in.


You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.

Yes. All presentations have closed captioning, and notes are also available for each presentation with our upgrade options that you’ll see after registering for the event.

We believe a diverse community makes knitting richer. This summit welcomes knitters of all backgrounds, abilities, and identities to celebrate the unique perspectives everyone brings to the craft! Our commitment to diversity extends beyond just words—it’s woven into the fabric of our event. We are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space where every creative voice is heard and celebrated. We believe this enriches our craft and inspires new ideas. That commitment is why we actively work to bring in a variety of speakers who differ not only in their skill level and experience, but also in their backgrounds. We believe the world of knitting is better when it embraces all experiences.
