Planning a bachelorette, birthday, team gathering, or another special celebration? The Knit Bar brings a creative activity that gets everyone talking, laughing, and making something they'll be proud of. We take care of the supplies, individual station setup, and instruction, so you can spend less time coordinating and more time enjoying your guests while everyone leaves with a hand-knit project they created themselves.
Whether you're bringing employees together, thanking volunteers, hosting a fundraiser, or planning a church, resident, or community event, The Knit Bar offers a creative way to encourage conversation, connection, and a unique shared experience while everyone creates something they're proud to take home.

When I’m not hosting classes, you’ll usually find me:
Meet Amanda, Owner of The Knit Bar
I’ve taught hand knitting to hundreds of students, including leading large-scale classes with over 100 attendees at events like Pinners. Creating a space that feels both elevated and welcoming—while helping people accomplish something with their own hands—is what drives everything I do.
I’m passionate about teaching in a way that feels: Fun, Patient, Approachable, and Encouraging so everyone leaves proud of what they made and excited to try again.
I learned hand knitting as a creative outlet and quickly fell in love with how simple, relaxing, and satisfying it felt. When I saw how excited others were to try it—and how proud they felt finishing their first project—I knew I wanted to start teaching and share that experience.
What I love most is watching people realize, “Wait… I can actually do this.” Guests leave The Knit Bar feeling confident, inspired, and excited to keep creating long after class is over.

"Amanda is a wonderful teacher! Learning hand knitting from her has brought such a relaxing and creative hobby into my life, and it's become the perfect way to unwind after work."
TIFFANY B.
"I took both the chunky knit blanket and pumpkin classes and they were a fun and memorable experience. I had always wanted to learn to make chunky knit blankets, and going with a few girlfriends made it even better. Learning the basics gave me the confidence to explore new patterns on my own, and since then I've made blankets for just about everyone I know and even taught others how to knit too. It's become such a relaxing and enjoyable creative outlet, and I've even made my own chunky knit Christmas tree skirt!"
