Hi, my name is Ellen and I love to knit! I'm a fiber artist, knitting pattern designer and technical editor with a background in engineering and education. The Chilly Dog began in 2011 and has become a stash for the knitting knowledge I continue to acquire and share with other knitters.

🧶
From cast on to bind off and every stitch in between, The Chilly Dog's extensive library is filled with hundreds of step-by-step knitting lessons.

Let's connect.

Now that you're here, take a moment to subscribe to my free Highlights + Happenings newsletter and I'll keep you in the loop with semi-monthly(ish) updates from my studio.

If you're tangled up and need help with a single skill.

There are many helpful knitting tutorials available on my YouTube Channel. I encourage you to subscribe to the channel and sample a few of those free lessons to see if you enjoy my content and teaching style. Please be aware, because of the volume of feedback I receive, I am usually unable to respond to individual YouTube comments.

When you're ready to take your knitting skills to the next level.

This member-supported website is the place to be. Become a paid member to watch and learn at your own pace without the noise and distractions you'll find elsewhere and receive exclusive, members-only content delivered directly to your inbox. Also, if you need a little extra knitting help or clarification, just leave a note in the comments below any lesson, or drop me an email, for priority support.

Upgrade to Plus level and each month I'll send you a complimentary pattern and an invitation to meet-up with me and my industry friends via Zoom.
