If you have ever finished a project only to put It back in the cupboard whenever you’re thinking of wearing it because it just doesn’t feel ‘right’ you’re in the right place!

In part two of this popular workshop, Debbie will be showing you more ways to enhance your knits. Try different ways to cast on and off, grafting seams (no more lumpy toes!) and how to deal with those ‘oops’ moments.

Throughout the day Debbie will also be sharing more tips and techniques for making up garments to make every knit a project to be proud of.
