April
Hand-Warmers – Part 1 of 2
Join us for a relaxed and friendly session exploring a range of beautiful yarns and discovering how each one feels to knit. You’ll have the chance to try four ply, double knit, and chunky yarns before choosing your favourite for your project.
We’ll learn how to create ribbing using knit and purl stitches, then begin making your very own hand-warmers. There will be a selection of patterns to choose from, including simple stocking stitch designs, with an optional cable pattern for anyone feeling adventurous and ready to try something new.
May
Hand-Warmers – Part 2 of 2
In our second session, we’ll continue working on your hand-warmers, learning how to shape for thumbs to give them a comfortable, snug fit. You’ll also be guided through mattress stitch, a clever technique that allows you to sew your pieces together neatly and almost invisibly — giving your finished hand-warmers a beautiful, professional touch.
Come along, build your skills, and enjoy creating something cosy and handmade!
