"I signed up for Kara’s Master Shawl-maker workshop after participating in two of her shawl challenges (Short Rows Shawl, and the Shawl-maker Mini Course). I was hooked on shawl-making and looking for more insight into design details and pattern enhancements. Kara’s Shawl-Making YOUR Way Workshop provided me with the confidence to go beyond the basics, encouraging me to create my own designs and details, with the support and knowledge of a professional in my corner. The videos were easy to follow, accessible from my phone and computer, and while rich in information were not overwhelming. Kara was easy to reach for online support and was available to answer questions and provide encouragement as well. It was definitely time and money well spent!"

"Kara is the perfect instructor to lead new-ish knitters into fun, shawl-construction territory. She teaches so much more than "how to read a pattern" and encourages us to explore more, dig deeper, and push boundaries in the creation process."

- Tabetha Hedrick, Design Director for SweetGeorgia Yarns
