$"Sophie"-style scarf knitting workshop\/social event$

Be part of the Autumn/Winter top fashion trend while enjoying some easy knitting in the comfort of the Bear Hotel.
Yes, mini scarves/shawls, otherwise known as draught excluders, are The Big Thing this season; I'll talk you through how to make your own how YOU want it. It's a fairly informal session, as much a social event as a workshop.
You'll get a gorgeous skein of Malabrigo Arroyo yarn (enough to make two mini scarves) in the colour of your choice, plus a stitch marker, some practice yarn and full tuition. Oh, I'll wind the skein for you beforehand. Arroyo is pure merino, very high quality/high welfare sheep, hand-dyed in South America. If you can't wear wool, please let me know and I'll come up with some options but I can't change the price of the workshop if the yarn is cheaper!
There are no refreshments included - I've left those out because The Bear has a very well stocked bar (including tea/coffee/soft drinks) so you can decide yourself what and when you have.
You'll need to bring a pair of 3.5mm knitting needles, they can be straight or circular, whichever you prefer. Don't forget your purse for your refreshments, plus of course I'll have some additional goodies to tempt you with, including a fabulous book by Rico that contains LOTS of patterns for mini shawls.
Cancellation policy: This is important! If I cancel, you'll get all your money back. If you cancel, I can only issue a refund if I can sell your place to someone else (assuming we are fully booked). If I am unable to sell your place, I'll offer you the workshop goody bag to keep anyway.
Note: We will not be using the original Sophie pattern but you can if you wish download it from the designer, Petite Knit.
Note: This is NOT a learn to knit session. It is an easy make but you do need to be able to at least cast on, knit and cast off. You don't need to be able to purl.
£25 per person, places must be booked in advance please, in cash at Pins & Needles or via the link which I'll post here.
