What’s it all about?
We’re officially into autumn, which means it is the perfect time to learn to knit. Get your winter woolies ready, or choose a lighter yarn and you can create a beautiful shawl for autumn evenings.
What will we cover?
We’ll cover the very basics of knitting including how to cast on (or get started), two different type of stitches (called knit and purl) and how to cast off (or finish your knitting).
We’ll also have a quick look at how to choose needles and wool that work together, when you might choose to use your different stitches and how to read knitting patterns so you won’t be stuck knitting scarves for the rest of time!
Please bring your own needles and yarn or if you would like us to provide materials then please choose the ‘with needles and yarn’ option when paying.
Who will be teaching?
Sue is an all round-crafty lady who will try her hand at anything in realm of the domestic arts. She has spent many years wielding needles to knit, crochet, sew and embroider and uses her skills to artfully avoid doing the housework.
