Learn to knit one-to-one

Learn the basics in an individual session that will get you started on what we hope will become a new lifelong interest. One hour gets most people started, but many choose to come back for follow-up sessions to extend their skills. Also suitable for those tackling a specific project or pattern needing a spot of guidance.
Right and left handers catered for. Sessions take place in the shop or studio and are arranged on weekdays and Saturday afternoons. £20 for an hour. Just phone us on 01608 645970 or call in to book a session. |

Learn to knit socks

Individual one-to-one tuition at times to suit you
An introduction to the highly addictive art of sock knitting. Over the course of three short sessions we work on your first sock and tackle all the essential skills: knitting in the round, turning the heel and grafting the toe. A set of sock needles to keep will be supplied as well as a choice of yarn and a pattern to get you started on your first pair. This class is best suited to knitters who are already fairly confident. Simple call us on 01608 645970 to arrange your first appointment where we will get started, knitting in the round. Then we will arrange a second slightly longer session to turn the heel and, finally, a short session to graft the tow. Total cost £45 per person including needles to keep, payable at £15 per session. We can also run this workshop for two or three friends who wish to come along together. |
