Reviews
A course by Carmen García de Mora
After being awarded her degree in technical engineering for industrial design, Carmen García de Mora was left yearning for a life of knitting needles and yarn, a passion inherited from her grandmother. In that moment she decided to study a Master's in knitwear design and has dedicated herself to both this and teaching since 2005.
Up until 2020, she taught a class in industrial knitwear as part of a fashion design degree in Barcelona. She is also an industrial knitwear production consultant as well as a hand-knit garment and collection designer for adults and infants. She also markets her new designs through Ravelry and shares them with her follows on Instagram.

PlusI enjoyed this course. I believe there are easier and less complicated ways to do the purl stitch... the way it is explained in the course, I didn´t manage to do it. I finally managed to make some progress learning the Norwegian purl stitch. Otherwise, the course is not perfect, but does the job well. I would recommend it.
