Lifetime access · Self-paced · No experience needed
You've wanted to learn to knit —
but something always gets in the way.
Maybe you've started and stopped more times than you can count.
You've scrolled endless YouTube videos that move too fast — or tried patterns that felt like another language.
You've probably whispered to yourself:
"I'm too busy."
"I'll never finish."
We made this course for that exact moment —
the one where you're finally ready to stop trying
and actually start knitting.
Course only, or course + everything you need delivered to your door.
Founders of SUNDRI
Hi, we're Caroline & Ellyot
Mamas, makers, and your knitting guides — helping you slow down, make something beautiful, and feel grounded in the rhythm of your stitches.
Motherhood wove us together. We were (and still are) deep in the rhythms of raising our little ones — both homeschooling, both walking a similar path. Whenever we were together there was this spark… creativity asking to take form.
We dabbled in many crafts, but then knitting landed — quietly and powerfully. A companion we could carry anywhere, easy to pick up in the in-between moments while life hummed around us.
From stitches shared over tea and chatter, something grew: a community, a rhythm, a deep love for making things that last. Since then, we've guided 500+ complete beginners all over the world — mamas, nanas, aunties and friends — to knit pieces that feel like heirlooms: practical, natural, made with love, and made to cherish, and pass on.
For us, knitting isn't just the yarn on the needles or the garment at the end — it's presence in the midst of motherhood, a moving meditation, and a way to create wearable art for the people we love.
With love, Caroline & Ellyot
