It’s not often that a single tool changes my knitting life completely, but that is what stitch saver has done for me. Soon, it will change yours too!
Embark with Laura (and her alter ego Lola) on a 3-hour deep dive into the world of stitch saver. To start, Laura will teach a few obvious skills to get us comfortable. Then we’ll move on to the more obscure, and finally end with some absolutely game changing techniques.

Bring your problem projects to this class for a little help on fixes, tips and tricks for specific problems? I’ve had my share of problem knits throughout my 30+ years of knitting and I’ve come up with some unique and interesting fixes.

Hi, I'm Katie Your Summer Camp Host!
Can I be honest with you for a second?
If you're reading this and thinking "this sounds amazing, but..." I get it. I really do.
But I won't know anyone. You will by the end of day one. I promise. This community is the warmest, most welcoming group of people I've ever been around (online AND in person). You will not be the only one walking in solo, and you absolutely won't stay that way.
But I'm not advanced enough. Friend, we have classes for every single skill level from total beginners to seasoned knitters and crocheters who want a new challenge. There is no skill requirement for having the time of your life.
But I only want specific classes. I will personally do everything I can to get you into the classes you want most. That’s a Katie promise.
But it's a big trip. Yes, it is! And you are so worth it. This is your permission slip to invest in YOU. Your creativity. The kind of joy that fills your cup for months after you get home.
From the moment Dawn and I first dreamed up Summer Camp back in 2025, I pictured a place that was truly OURS. Like, ALL of ours. A place where you could walk in and feel 100% yourself and 100% welcome. That's exactly what we're giving you.
I can't WAIT to meet you next June. It's going to be a blast.
Katie 💕

Where You'll Stay
Get ready to fall in love with your Summer Camp home base: the beautiful Little America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City. (Squee!)
Everything (classes, meals, vendors, themed dinner parties) happens right here, so once you arrive you can settle in and never worry about getting anywhere else. Just you, your people, and four days of pure magic.
THE GOOD STUFF
• Only 15 minutes from SLC Airport (easy in, easy out)
• Group rate available exclusively for Summer Camp attendees
• Accessible rooms available (Let us know what you need and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of)
• Want to share a room with a friend? You absolutely can!
• Want to arrive early or stay late? The hotel is happy to extend your visit
We chose this hotel because we wanted a place that feels like a retreat from the moment you walk in. Gorgeous grounds, incredible service, and the kind of space where everyone feels welcome and comfortable.
Are you ready to be spoiled absolutely rotten? (I know! We can’t wait either!)

Friend, this is your invitation. Your sign. Your moment to say "YES" to yourself.

Dear Friend,
I started Twice Sheared Sheep in my living room with a pile of recycled yarn and a dream that was probably too big for the space I was in. But here's the thing about this community: you showed up. And you kept showing up.
Through every new tool, every launch, every wild idea I threw at you...you were there. Cheering, creating, sharing your projects, and lifting each other up in ways that still make me tear up when I think about it.
Summer Camp is my way of saying: let's finally be in the same room together.
I want to watch you learn something new. I want to see your face when you open your goodie bag. I want to sit at dinner with you and hear the story behind that project in your bag. I want to hug you and say thank you in person, for real, not through a screen.
This retreat was made just for YOU, whether you've been with us from the very beginning or you just found us last week. You belong here, friend.
Come join us at Summer Camp. I promise you'll experience something so spectacular you'll reminisce for years to come.
I can't wait to see you there 💕
Luv,
Dawn
We are SO GRATEFUL for YOU!

Yes, that Dawn 😉
You know her. You love her. The founder of Twice Sheared Sheep, designer, maker, and lifelong knitter and crocheter. Dawn is the heart and soul behind everything TSS.
Dawn develops innovative knitting tools and techniques that make advanced processes feel totally approachable and helps knitters of all levels take on projects they never thought they could tackle.
At Summer Camp, Dawn will be teaching two of her signature techniques:
• Free Cabling — Using the Cord Quill, this method brings the look of complex cable work to finished pieces without the fuss. Cables without a cable needle? Yes please!
• Magic Socks — Her no-gauge sock pattern designed to take the math and mystery out of knitting a perfectly fitted pair of socks. Easy peasy.
Whether you’ve been knitting for decades or just a few years, you’ll leave Dawn’s classes with new skills and a whole lot more confidence.
