Get Inspired This Summer

Finally the sun managed to break through the clouds in time for the summer holidays. If you are still looking for kids activities, check out our Summer Holidays Kids Workshops. If you are looking for a light summer project for yourself, here at the knitshop, we've put together a few ideas to inspire you and help you have a smooth summer knitting.

A little time off can be ideal to learn to knit or pick up a new skill like felting or crochet. The knitshop.co.uk provides various courses and workshops across the summer which are ideal for beginners, or we offer books that will help you learn the basics to the best stitch techniques. These are great for going away or when you need to keep an eye on the children

Online and in-store we have plenty of special offers, gorgeous yarns, high quality materials, unique patterns and interesting courses to entice any keen knitter, to instil a little inspiration and provide the best yarns to create your masterpiece.


The knitshop.co.uk have included a variety of 6 week and 2 hour workshops available to anyone interested in knitting, crochet or felting. We have even included children's specials. For example, on the 5th August Julieta from the Knitshop.co.uk will be hosting a Learn to Crochet Coloured Granny Squares Workshop

We all love a glossy magazine, grab a knitting magazine from the knitshop for ideas, inspiration, yarn reviews and the latest gossip of the happenings in the knit world. Mollie Makes suggests ways to making crochet simpler and Knitting Magazine includes a variety of knitting patterns for you to turn your hand to. They include everything from a small project to something that may take up your entire holiday! Read the latest yarn reviews about knitshop.co.uk in the recent Inside Crochet

Download your knit, crochet and felting patterns from the knitshop.co.uk. Joan Crawford is a new knitting pattern available to knitshop.co.uk the online shop and is the perfect project to get stuck into this summer to create the perfect autumn jumper with style and vintage class. 


Be bold and try something new this summer. Ever knitted in the round? Get yourself some bamboo circular knitting needles and knit up some socks, arm warmers or something different! Try felting. Felt some floral decorations to add to your knitted fashion or go one step further and make some felted beads to create necklaces and more!

There is lots of potential for crafters of all ages this summer so take a look at the site and start a project. Julieta and knitshop.co.uk team are here for any advice, hiccups or more and remember to book your places in advance for any workshops or courses to get started on your new skills.

Good luck and happy knitting!
