ABOUT YOUR TEACHER

Vera Marcu learned knitting as a child and is still fascinated by this mindful and rewarding activity that brings joy to so many people. The first patterns she was exposed to were written in the European style, with minimal instructions and explanations. As she progressed and started to understand how charts presented the knitted fabric, and how certain yarns worked better for certain textures, Vera found herself diverging more and more from patterns, and in the last 20 years, she has mostly knitted her own designs.

During the quiet times of lockdowns, the idea of sharing these patterns with the knitting community became a reality and in 2021 Vera published her first pattern on Ravelry. Since then she has published more than 30 designs, with patterns appearing in knitting magazines and in collaboration with several yarn companies. Vera likes to design things that are fun to knit but also stylish and practical to wear.

Teaching is also close to her heart, as Vera is a violin and viola teacher with many years of experience. These skills help her understand how people learn, how practical knowledge is shared and explained, and what methods work best for each individual.
