Knitting for beginners part 2

In this workshop we will use our new knitting skills to learn to make fingerless mittens. We will cover reading a simple pattern, try our first increases and decreases and learn how to finish off our projects. If you are confident with the basic knit stitch and know how to cast on and off, this is suitable for you.

Children and adults are welcome to attend as long as they have the relevant previous experience (see below). Children will need to be accompanied by an adult. If both adult and child would like to take part in the workshop please purchase a ticket each. If only the child wishes to take part please purchase 1 ticket.

Please bring either 4mm needles and DK yarn OR 5mm needles and Aran yarn

100g of either DK or aran yarn will be fine for this project

Aimed at anyone who has the very basic knitting skills above in place. You should be confident with the basic knit stitch and know how to cast on and off.

Catherine learnt to knit as a new mum, desperate for something to do where she could see progress. It worked, and a decade on she still loves the ability to create fabric out of yarn, to play with colour, texture and pattern, and to fit garments to bodies of any shape and size. She has published several knitting patterns of her own and also enjoys spinning her own yarn.
