We're not sure when and we can't be sure who started it, but somewhere along the line, knitting has become the quirky girl's pastime du jour. As well as the occasional hip indie girl you see knitting on the train, there's a pack of crafty stars getting in on the needle action too, including Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and Madonna. If you're feeling out of the loop, then we’re happy to show you how.

After over two and a half hours of knitting and knattering, you'll feel like a pro; you’ll have learned all the basics including knit and purl stitch, how to cast on and cast off, stocking stitch and garter stitch. Keep your new-found skills topped up at home using your take away kit of knitting needles, yarn and a 'how to' guide.

Do have a look at our other Beginners Knitting workshop where you learn how to knit as well as knitting up an actual project at the same time. More information here.

About This Class:
Learning how to knit can be a rewarding and relaxing craft and it's a skill that allows you to create cosy blankets and other warm, handmade items. Many of us have fond memories of owning or cuddling up in a knitted blanket made by a loved one. But have you ever thought about creating your very own knitted masterpiece? Well our job is to guide you on your knitting journey and we absolutely love doing just that. We've had the privilege of teaching hundreds of people how to knit, and we'd love for you too, to join our knitting club!

In this relaxed workshop you'll learn how to knit the plain stitch also known as garter stitch (one of the building blocks of all knitting patterns), and how to cast on and cast off (skills essential for any knitting project) and and how to sew knitted items together.

By the end of the class you'll be able to knit squares which you can sew together to make one big blanket if you wish. This is our most pinned workshop and we are so excited to teach you this easy way of how to knit a blanket as large or small as you like. Whatever size you require - the method of knitting is the same. No complicated maths or thinking needed! Our kind of project indeed.
