Sad that it is over but super excited for the months ahead...
Thank you so much Carol & Paula for the great course! It was packed with info and I find myself going back to the replays several times. Sad that it is over but super excited for the months ahead. And if being honest, a little scared!

Calculating and counting stitches in your dreams
I think seeing yourself calculating and counting stitches in your dreams, more than a few nights in a row speaks volumes of the impact of the course.

Inspired me to venture into the world of tech editing
The course has not only inspired me to venture into the world of tech editing, but to create my own designs and also start writing a book on C2C. Just wish I didn't have to fit this all around a full-time job, whilst everything establishes.

Hi, I'm Carol Ibbetson
I created The Cool Wool School for people just like you...
Hi, I am Carol and I am passionate about all things yarny. I have been knitting and crocheting since I was about five years old, which is an awfully long time! My dear Mum taught me well and I have never lost the bug. I have been designing and selling my patterns for a while. I love the design process, especially incorporating some of the wonderful techniques there are out in the big wide world, and my current fav is designing mosaic crochet bags.
I also have an eye for details and getting things right, and that is what led me into a career as a tech editor. After many years’ experience of making things from my own and other designers’ patterns, I wanted to use my skills from my 'normal' occupation as a computer programmer to check and correct patterns - after all what is a pattern other than a logical shorthand language!
Whether you fancy trying tech editing or grading for yourself, why not join me for a get-together on a workshop? I'd love to meet you online soon.

Have you ever heard of a tech editor?
Maybe you have, and you're curious to know what they do. Well, I'm an experienced technical editor and trainer, and I am passionate about getting more knitters and crocheters (If that's a word) involved in this little-known sector of the industry.
I really want to encourage more people to turn their yarn hobby into a profitable business. That's what I did and several of my students have done, too.
