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 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.
