This workshop will equip you with new craft skills, opening doors to your creative knitting pursuits. Dive into the world of knitting with our beginner-friendly workshop. Learn to transform a humble ball of yarn into a handmade masterpiece.
Starting with the basics you'll learn knitting with circular needles and master key techniques like casting on stitches, learn the knit and purl stitches and bind-off techniques. By the end, you'll not only have your very own completed project - a scarf, neck warmer, or perhaps the start of a simple sweater - but also newfound confidence and skills to continue your knit journey.
No experience? No worries! We'll be there, guiding you every stitch of the way.

Most popular her sweater-knit-along course that guides you step-by-step through creating your very first handmade garment - from casting on to proudly wearing your finished sweater. These classes are about more than just learning to knit. They’re about reconnecting with the joy of making, discovering what your hands are capable of, and experiencing the deep satisfaction of creating something truly your own.
There’s nothing quite like the moment you finish your first garment — and seeing students “chuffed to bits” with what they’ve achieved.
