About the Blog

Welcome to Say! Little Hen - I’m Sarah…

Say! Little Hen has evolved over the years and is now for all things knitting, with the odd dash of lifestyle thrown in! I have a love for the simple things in life - baking a yummy cake, knitting a sock or garment and spending time outdoors. When I get the time I sometimes share my thoughts and photos about those things on my blog.

I’ve been knitting since childhood and making my own designs for many years. I began publishing some of those designs in 2015, and since then have also begun sharing my skills by teaching classes and workshops in my local area.

Say! Little Hen is also a yarn boutique of beautiful natural fibre yarns and accessories for knitters and crocheters. You can explore it more at saylittlehenshop.com. Originally online only, in 2022 I’m thrilled to open my Sunshine Coast studio to the public.

About our Courses

Teaching classes and workshops in my local area has been a rich and rewarding experience. It’s so satisfying and also inspiring to teach others all about knitting - seeing the look of delight on their face as they grasp the techniques and begin to enjoy themselves is something I won’t ever tire of.

As a pattern designer and also a yarn shop owner, I’m frequently having conversations with people about how they would like to learn a certain knitting skill. Often these people live too far away to attend one of my in-person classes, so after many requests I’ve began to teach people online.

Along with teaching knitters new skills, I wanted my courses to embody the same joy that is felt by my ‘real-life’ students. With this in mind, I encourage students to engage not only with myself but one another in the classroom comments in our courses.

Beginning with the Sock Knitting Club, there are plans for more online courses of varying sizes and styles to be added over time.

Say! Little Hen acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
