Learn to knit

Join Holly in this beginner-friendly knitting workshop where you will learn the foundations of English style knitting.

You are invited to slow down, connect and create while you are gently guided through learning the basics. Working in a small group, you will learn how to create knit and purl stitches, cast on and cast off.

This session is focussed on seeing knitting as a creative and calming past time, not as a challenge.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

No experience is needed for this workshop. Knitting needles and yarn will be provided and you will have access to the other tools you need.

Participants are encouraged to bring any images or patterns that have inspired them to learn to knit.

You will come away with knitted squares of your work and hopefully the confidence to carry on crafting!

Knitting will be taught right handed.

There will be a 30-minute lunch break and we are conveniently located close to local shops.
