Meet Your Teacher
Carol Feller trained initially as a textile artist and then as a structural engineer. While both of these backgrounds are very different the influences can be seen in her design work which is well-shaped, flattering to wear and enjoyable to knit.
She strives to design clothing with a difference: not overly complex, but still giving a very unique end product. She likes to work with different construction methods, so long as they enhance the knitting experience and make for a more intuitively put-together knitted item.
Carol has been widely published in books and magazine and travels the world teaching in yarn shops and fibre festivals. The classes she teaches cover a wide range of subjects from cables and chart reading, through garment shaping and customisation right through to short rows and colourwork. In her classes you'll move from learning the basics to refining your knitting skills and fixing problems.
Reviews
"It is a fun knit that knits up quick. Pattern was well written and easy to follow. I love the sweater and the fit is perfect"
-Denise W.
"I love this pattern. The design and use of various stitches are very clever and subtle. And the detailed instructions in the pattern are great. I also bought the suggested yarn and it's wonderful for this pattern and good for cool weather. It's quick to knit as well."
-Bonnie S.
