What's covered in this workshop?
This teachable course goes hand-in-hand with the included written Burren Shawl knitting pattern so you'll never be left wondering how to approach a section.
Some of the techniques covered in this course are:
- Cable Cast-On.
- How to set up cables & working cable increase rows.
- How to add a lifeline to your project.
- Working cables decreases.
- Picking up stitches for the edging.
- Picot Bind-Off.
- Blocking your shawl.
The Shawl Design
Here is a basic overview of the shape and construction:
- The shawl will start at the tip and grow upwards into a triangular shape.
- The cable grows organically from the bottom.
- The shawl will finish with a small edging across the top and a larger, picked-up border all around the edges.

What You'll Find in the Workshop:
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.
