Coolwool Designer

Coolwool Designer I design and sell my own patterns, often incorporating various techniques. I now teach others how to use their knowledge to become a tech editor.

I have an eye for detail which led me into a career as a tech editor checking patterns.

In this short clip I introduce you to the key principle behind managing two yarns in Fair Isle knitting: how to pick each yarn up consistently (one over, one under) so your floats lie flat and parallel — and never tangle.
I also cover how to spread your stitches before each new wrap to keep your tension even, and when (and when NOT) to twist your yarns together.

TESTIMONIAL: 'This workshop has lifted the fog I was having on sizing' - Andrea
Many designers avoid grading because they think it’s too mathematical or too complex.
But when you have a structured process, everything feels far more manageable. My workshop breaks each stage into bite-sized steps that build on one another.
By the end, grading becomes something you feel fully capable of doing — not something you dread.

Some of my former students — now tech editing graduates — with their certificates
My tech editing course isn’t designed to be easy. It's designed to make you confident.
Students complete 10 structured assignments, each one individually marked, so they don’t just understand the theory — they know how to apply it to real patterns.
Several of these graduates had taken other tech editing courses before joining mine. They learned useful information… but still didn’t feel confident enough to take on real tech edits.
What was missing was depth, structured practice, and detailed feedback.

During the introduction workshop, you’ll find out:
👉whether you enjoy the work
👉whether you have an aptitude for it
👉whether this is something you’d like to take further.
Don’t guess. Come and try it — and hear directly from past students.

You can join us for the intro workshop live (via Zoom) or start at any time and work at your own pace via our self-study option:
