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.

Yarn, thread, buttons, and ribbons were Marta Porcel's passion as a little girl. Although she is a trained psychologist and professional marketing expert, in 2016 she decided to devote herself to what she loves full time: teaching knitting and showing the world what you can create with your own hands.
To further fuel her passion, Marta launched Creativa Atelier, her own website and online pattern store where she provides step-by-step instructions on how to knit and make clothing and accessories. Her work has caught the of attention well-known industry brands and has allowed her to collaborate with big names like Katia Yarns and Fabrics, Anchor Crafts, We Are Knitters, DMC, and Knitive. Her work has also been featured in magazines and publications such as The Sewing Box Magazine, Labores del Hogar, Molly Makes, Fair Cotton Crochet, Ser Padres.

Marta explica realmente bien, sus videos son claros y te da tiempo a seguir sus indicaciones perfectamente. Me ha resultado muy útil el curso aunque ya tejia desde hace tiempo pero le he sacado mucho provecho. Si eres principiante te va a ayudar mucho y si ya tejes lo vas a poder aprovechar. Además de explicarte el proceso de inspiración y darte alternativas con un mismo patrón. Me ha encantado.
