Carol Feller – Knitwear Designer / Ireland and Spain

Carol Feller is a knitting superstar! She is a very popular designer, teacher and author of several knitting books. Carol even has her own range of yarn. She has been teaching for KnittingTours.com from the very beginning and our knitters LOVE her classes!

Carol lives in Cork, in the south of Ireland. As with many Irish children, she learned to knit while still in primary school and spent many years knitting cardigans for her dolls! Crafting runs in the family; her mother sewed most of her clothes, her grandmother was an expert knitter and her aunt ran a knitting shop in Dublin.

Initially, Carol trained as a textile artist. She later studied to be a structural engineer. While both of these backgrounds are very different, the influences can be seen in her design work. Her pieces are all well-shaped, flattering to wear and fun to knit. She strives to design clothing with a twist: simple, but with a standout finish.

Carol has been published in many different books and magazines. You can find her work in Interweave Knits, The Knitter, Twist Collective, Brooklyn Tweed and Knitty. She has published 5 books; Contemporary Irish Knits, Short Row Knits, Scrumptious Knits, Among Stones, Dovestone Hills and Knitting with Rainbows. Find all her books as well as individual pdf pattern downloads on her website www.stolenstitches.com. You can also buy her own yarn line, Nua, on her website.

Carol travels the world teaching in yarn shops and fibre festivals, including Knit Nation in London, Edinburgh Yarn Festival and Unwind. Her classes cover everything from cables and chart reading to garment shaping, customization, short rows, and colorwork. She’ll help you master the basics and troubleshoot like a pro!

As well as in-person classes, Carol Feller also teaches knitting classes online at Craftsy.com. Whether it’s cables, colourwork, or sweater surgery, her classes help knitters at any level take their skills to the next level!
