During the session we will show you how to cast on and do that ever famous knit stitch. Then we'll go on to show you how to create a little hat with an adorable little pompom. After the session you'll continue knitting these little hats and then it's up to you whether you string them up into a garland or perhaps place them onto the tree, or stick them on blank cards and make your own Christmas Cards.
Once you book you'll be sent a kit containing the needles and yarn you'll need to learn this addictive craft and once the session is over you'll also get the video recording so you can keep on knitting until your heart's content.

Embroidery has come a long way since Jane Austin’s heroines would sit and sew in the drawing room – we’ve brought the pastime back with our own modern take on the original. Our beginners embroidery classes in London give you all the basic techniques you will need to continue this therapeutic craft at home.
Our beginners embroidery workshops teach you five popular stitches including back stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch and the French knot. You’ll be able to choose a fun design (or a drawing of your own) to embroider yourself using all the new skills you have learnt.
Your embroidery design will stay in the hoop and you can hang it on the wall for show! Once you’ve mastered the skill, you can try napkins, sheets, pillowcases… In fact, there won’t be a soft furnishing in your house left unadorned!
