Why should I join this workshop?
Knit Basics is a comprehensive workshop series that will kickstart your hand-knitting journey. You will learn all the basic skills you need to get started and succeed.
These online classes are designed to be taken in whatever stolen moments you can find!
Carol will walk you through the process step by step so that you can master each technique before moving on.
Only have time for a coffee break?
That's enough to master needle types.
Time for a quick cuppa?
Then you have time to take on the anatomy of a stitch.
Before you know it, you not only will be a whizz with the needles you will also have a knowledge base of knitting lingo and the technical know-how to put it to the test.
What's covered in this workshop?
This workshop includes three sections:
Knitting Basics:
- This section focuses on teaching you all about yarn, needle types, gauge and the anatomy of a stitch ahead of your first knitting project.

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.
