About Cori

Cori Eichelberger, of Irocknits Designs, was a former high school English teacher for at-risk students, whom she also taught to knit. She has over 20 years’ experience teaching beginning knitting, and technique classes and her workshops are popular at yarn shops and retreats throughout the United States. Her classes feature a sense of humor, a high energy style and an enthusiasm for the craft.

Cori co-authored the book Minnesota 52: 16 Knits Inspired by the Road in 2017. And in the Fall of 2020, she published Knitwords: 8 Patterns and 10 Musings that Celebrate the Knitter.

Cori produces a bi-weekly YouTube podcast – “Irocknits” – where she tries to inspire knitters to make beautiful sweaters and shawls while sharing ‘Tips and Tricks’ and a touch of humor.

Why Irocknits? “Iroc” is Cori spelled backwards which she discovered when she saw the the Iroc Z28 Camaro in 1978 pull up in her driveway. LOL

Cori is known for her love of color, especially orange, and she thoroughly enjoys knitting nightly in her rocker recliner until all hours because she is a certified night owl. While she learned to knit in a community education summer class in 1981 with a long straight needle tucked under her arm, she currently knits continental and loves showing knitters the joys of colorwork stranded knitting.

Cori uses she/her pronouns and currently lives on Wahpekute land* in southwest area of Minneapolis, Minnesota with her husband and a standard Bernedoodle.
