From holding the needles to following a pattern, make your first projects as you learn all the essentials with knitting expert Debbie!
About this Event

Enjoy three sessions learning all the knitting essentials! Debbie will teach you all you need to know to get started with your first knitting projects.

Sessions are on 3 consecutive Tuesdays (7th, 14th, 21st Nov) from 6-8.30pm and the course fee is the total for all 3 sessions including materials.

You'll make 3 small, fun projects, each one specifically designed to allow you to practice your skills as you learn.

No knitting skills are required - Debbie will be starting right at the beginning. Have some experience or returning to knitting? This course is also a great refresher.

  • Decrease
  • Cast off
  • Finishing and seaming
  • How to follow a knitting pattern
  • Tension (gauge) and why it matters
  • Tips and tricks for avoiding common mistakes (and how to fix them!)

What's included:

All materials are included - we provide quality materials - lovely yarn, knitting needles, comprehensive professionally illustrated photo handouts and a selection of Debbie's own, exclusive patterns. We also include tea, coffee and biccies!
