Carson Demers
By day Carson is a physical therapist who operates an award winning ergonomics program for a San Francisco medical center. Every other moment he’s knitting, spinning, designing, teaching, or otherwise up to some fiber fun—always with a watchful eye toward ergonomics, the study of people’s efficiency in their working environment.
His passion and experience in fiber arts combine with his expertise in physical therapy and ergonomics to create a unique skill set that he eagerly shares with the fiber community to keep us all creating healthfully—and comfortably—ever after.
Carson teaches at knitting, spinning, and other fiber events throughout the US. He loves to teach at local yarn shops and guilds, and is a regular contributor to Ply magazine.
You can find him at Ergo, I Knit.
