If you're looking for a way to organize your thoughts and feelings while bringing your ideas to life with your own hands, knitting and crochet designer Marta Porcel has the answer. According to Marta, knitting offers a moment to disconnect from your hectic routine and connect with yourself. When her first child was born, she felt the need to create her own clothing, which ultimately led her to launch Creativa Atelier, her website where she shares her patterns with knitters around the world.
In this course, learn how to knit children's garments using just two needles and a single strand of yarn. Explore the endless shape and color combinations to create adaptable designs for any age that let young ones move and play freely. Discover what you can create with your hands and design fashionable children's knitwear.
