What Our Students Say...

Oh My Goodness.....

by Happy Student

OH MY GOODNESS. I purchased your grading course earlier today and just binged through it! It already answered so many questions I've had for two years of trying so hard to be a knitwear designer! I swear I'm about to get emotional here. I've purchased other courses and looked through countless YouTube videos. I've searched the internet for answers. Now, I feel like I may have stumbled on a guide, that might actually be helpful, finally! The way you show and explain everything is just somehow so easy to understand. I've done a similar course before which only got me more confused. I'm so happy. I needed to tell you. I haven't actually tried it yet for my own design work, but I'm excited to, and that's weird because I'm usually terrified of that part of the design process. I'm not saying I'll love it, and for sure it's gonna take time to get used to, but finally I feel like it's possible. Thanks so much!😍

Great comprehensive workshop teaching all you need to know about grading a designers vision into multiple sizes and being able to work out the stitches and rows needed and how to formulate a pattern from the information. Carol is very thorough and explains everything very well and gives you confidence to be able to do it yourself
