Reviews
"Very comprehensive tutorials
I've tried my hand at basic brioche techniques previously (in person workshop and books), but was looking for some good video content to help me with a garment. Carol has created a very comprehensive set of video tutorials for this pattern, I'm excited to see the end project!"

"lascaire sweater
I am in the process of knitting this sweater. As a brioche beginner, I love the simplicity of this brioche pattern and the wonderful instruction that comes with the workshop. It is the perfect way for a beginner to produce something truly expert!"

Meet Your Teacher
Carol 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.
