Beginner knitting class at wrington reading rooms every Wednesday 7-8.30pm Nov 9th-30th 2022

A friendly, relaxed and fun four-week course of 4 x 90 min classes for 8 complete beginner knitters. Tea, coffee, cold drinks and biscuits will be provided.

You will learn a brief history of knitting; different types of wools and yarn weights and how different needle sizes create different effects. I will be teaching you to cast on and cast off and the two main stitches called Knit and Purl. Over the weeks I will teach you how to work increases and decreases to shape your work and I will show you the different styles of knitting to help speed up your knitting. By week 4 you will have expanded your skill set which will enable you to challenge yourself to more complex patterns. You will also be taught the basics of lace and colour work which I will go in to in much more details in my advanced beginner's classes

On the first week you will be given a choice of knitting either wrist warmers, leg warmers or a hot water bottle cover and over the weeks you will be working on your chosen project in class and at home. You can even do both projects if you find you are able to knit a lot between classes. You will need size 4mm needles and 100g of DK weight yarn which you can bring with you or at an extra cost of £8 pre-order from me. The yarn I will provide will be 100% sheep wool which comes in a selection of colours. Please send me an email along with your payment telling me which colour you would like to order at least 10 days before the course start date. Each week I will also be teaching you new techniques according to the individual's pace and standard, I will be guided by you.

Once I have received your booking payment, I will email you the information you need re directions, arrival time, parking, toilets, etc. I will be holding advanced beginner, Intermediate classes next month so you can progress through the different stages with me as your tutor if you would like to.

Thank you for booking on to my knitting class and I look forward to seeing you very soon!
