Have you always wanted to learn to knit but didn't know where to start? Maybe you've tried following YouTube tutorials, or perhaps you learned the basics years ago but never quite got the hang of it. Wherever you're starting from, this course is designed for you.
Join us for a relaxed four-week knitting course created for complete beginners. Over four Sunday evenings, we'll take everything one step at a time, helping you build confidence as you learn the foundations of knitting in a friendly and supportive environment.
Throughout the course, you'll learn the essential stitches, how to read knitting patterns and charts, various cast ons and offs, and create your own garments. By the end of the four weeks, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to continue your knitting journey independently.
Classes are kept small so there's plenty of opportunity to ask questions and receive individual guidance.
All materials are included, so there's no need to buy anything before you arrive. You'll also receive 15% off purchases in the shop on class nights should you decide you'd like to pick up supplies of your own.
Learning doesn't stop when the class ends. You're welcome to bring your knitting into the shop between sessions if you'd like somewhere to practice, or if you need a hand with your homework or a stitch that's giving you trouble. We'll be happy to help.
Tea, coffee and refreshments are provided at every session.
Please note that this is a four-week course. Your booking secures your place for all four sessions, and we recommend attending each week to get the most from the course.
