We're not sure when and we can't be sure who started it, but somewhere along the line, knitting has become the quirky girl's pastime du jour. As well as the occasional hip indie girl you see knitting on the train, there's a pack of crafty stars getting in on the needle action too, including Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and Madonna. If you're feeling out of the loop, then we’re happy to show you how.
After over two and a half hours of knitting and knattering, you'll feel like a pro; you’ll have learned all the basics including knit and purl stitch, how to cast on and cast off, stocking stitch and garter stitch. Keep your new-found skills topped up at home using your take away kit of knitting needles, yarn and a 'how to' guide.

About This Class:
Learning how to knit can be a rewarding and relaxing craft and it's a skill that allows you to create cosy blankets and other warm, handmade items. Many of us have fond memories of owning or cuddling up in a knitted blanket made by a loved one. But have you ever thought about creating your very own knitted masterpiece? Well our job is to guide you on your knitting journey and we absolutely love doing just that. We've had the privilege of teaching hundreds of people how to knit, and we'd love for you too, to join our knitting club!
In this relaxed workshop you'll learn how to knit the plain stitch also known as garter stitch (one of the building blocks of all knitting patterns), and how to cast on and cast off (skills essential for any knitting project) and and how to sew knitted items together.
By the end of the class you'll be able to knit squares which you can sew together to make one big blanket if you wish. This is our most pinned workshop and we are so excited to teach you this easy way of how to knit a blanket as large or small as you like. Whatever size you require - the method of knitting is the same. No complicated maths or thinking needed! Our kind of project indeed.

About This Class:
Fair Isle knitting is a knitting technique used to create pictures or images within your knitting using different colours (this is also known as “stranded colour work knitting”). In this workshop you will learn two-colour fair isle and how to knit a traditional snowflake design.
The Nordic snowflake is a very popular design to knit in fair isle and this is what you will be knitting up whilst learning how to knit fair isle. Once you’ve learnt the technique you will be able to follow fair isle patterns and charts without a problem.
In this class you will make a cute little fair isle sachet. Enough yarn is supplied to make one sachet. Fill with some lavender for a lovely smelly item or just hang it somewhere in your home for a Nordic touch.
Level:

Take some super-soft yarn, a bit of expert guidance and just the right amount of love and you’ve got yourself the cosiest socks this side of the North Pole. Utilising your knit, purl and cast on skills, you’ll be able to learn how to make these snuggley socks (although in class you will make a scaled down version) learning how to knit the gusset, shape the heel and toe and finally cast off with kitchener stitch.
Once you’ve got the hang of the technique, it’s a piece of cake and we suspect you’ll find yourself hooked. Thick socks, ankle socks, footie socks, slipper socks, sock puppets… we could go on...
