What is the Start Series, and why did we develop it?
The COVID19 pandemic has made it very difficult for us to run our usual in-person "learn to knit" classes in our shops. And at the same time more and more people want to learn to knit, having realised how brilliant knitting is for reducing stress, unleashing creativity, reducing boredom, added coolness factor and, well, it's clearly an essential post-apocalyptic life-skill!
So, recognising that we (the independent yarn shops) are the experts in the tools, we've enlisted the help of the expert in teaching to guide our new tribe to acquire knitterly skills: enter Carol Feller...
We also decided that an online teaching space that's accessible anywhere, anytime makes the most sense (hence Teachable), but unlike YouTube videos, members will have access to Carol's amazing brain for all their questions and help - just like they would have done with an in-store class. And they are free to watch and re-watch the course anytime they want, as often as they want!
