Introduction to Knitting workshop 12th Sept 2022 6.30-8.30pm
A friendly, relaxed and fun workshop to introduce you to knitting.
You will learn a brief history of knitting, the process of wool production from sheep to yarn , different wools and yarn weights and how different needle sizes create different effects. You will then learn to cast on and cast off (putting stiches onto and off the needles) and the two main stitches called Knit and Purl to begin before moving onto how to shape a piece of knitted fabric with increases and decreases.
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 and Intermediate classes this Winter so you can progress through the different stages with me as your tutor if you would like to.
Tea, coffee and cold drinks will be provided as will needles and yarn to practice with. Needles are to be returned but you can take home your sample of your first knitted piece!
You will be invited to join my private Facebook knit club exclusively for students who have come to my classes or workshops where I share a wealth of handy tips, free patterns and video tutorials.
Thank you for booking on to my knitting class and I look forward to seeing you very soon!
Please note this class location has three very friendly resident cats who may pop in from time to time so it may be unsuitable for those with severe cat allergies! I will be holding classes at other venues so keep a look out on my website.
