Kids go first in April

What's on at knitshop.co.uk in April - will closed for a couple of weeks in April, which means we’ll be running only a handful of workshops. Because of this we’ve decided to focus on our most popular classes.

With the kids off school for the Easter holidays, we’re running two classes aimed at getting the younger generation hooked on knitting and crochet. On Friday 25 April, we’ll be encouraging kids to Swing The Needles and take their first foray into either finger knitting (for the very young) or regular knitting. There’s also the option of learning crochet or knitting on a loom if they prefer. 

Swing The Needles - A girl learning to knit at the
Lee Green Boutique Outlet: knitshop.co.uk

Having mastered casting on their first stitches, students learn how to create knit rows of garter stitch. By the end of the two-hour Swing The Needles class, they’ll be able on their way to making their first knitted square or strip. This can then be turned into a pencil case, purse, friendship bracelet or other small item. As with all our workshops, we offer phone and email support, so if your child gets into a pickle later, we’ll be able to help them complete their knitting project.

The second class for kids is on Saturday 26 April. This class, Let’s Get Hooked, specifically focuses on crochet and teaches you how to make your first crochet chains and use them as the basis of a friendship bracelet, phone case, flower or necklace. 

We also welcome under 5 year olds to start playing with yarn
and learn crafty skills.

As with the Swing The Needles class, we offer finger knitting and knitting with a loom as an alternative that younger children may find it easier to learn initially.

Kids’ classes at knitshop.co.uk are suitable for five-year-olds and upwards. Attendees must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Kids’ classes cost £10 each while adult classes are £15 each. We provide all the materials you need for the project and written instructions on how to complete it at home.

If you’ve learned the basics of knitting but want to improve your technique, we’ve got an Improvers Knitting workshop on Friday 25 April that shows you how to get even tension, so your knitted items look smooth with uniform stitches. We’ll also cover working increase and decrease rows using various techniques and how to read knitting patterns and charts.

If you want to learn crochet or take the next step having learned the basics, our Crochet A Granny Square workshop on Saturday 26 April is for you. You’ll find out how to create chains of crochet and combine doubles and trebles to create simple patterns. Using these skills, you’ll work on your first Granny Square – a classic crochet design that you can use as the basis of crocheted homewares and garments.

Finally, on Friday 25 April we will also be offering a free SOS Clinic in which we help you work out where a knitting or crochet project has gone off track and how to fix it. We’re happy for you to drop in on the day, but priority will be given to those who have booked.

knitshop.co.uk workshops are held at our boutique outlet at 326 Lee High Road, SE13 5PJ. The two-hour classes start at 11am and all materials and refreshments are provided.

Crochet a daffodil for Marie Curie Cancer Care

Spring is here at last and it’s wonderful to see all the flowers on show. Daffodils are a particularly inspiring sight and we’ve got a brand-new pattern to share with you that means you’ll be able to enjoy daffodils in your home all year round.

knitshop.co.uk founder Julieta Brandao has designed a wonderful daffodil pattern as a means of fundraising for Marie Curie Cancer Care. The charity has the daffodil as its symbol and runs a Daffodil Appeal fundraising drive each March.

Julieta wearing a crochet Daffodil.

Julieta says “The Marie Curie Appeal is a cause that is very close to me and I wanted to find a way to support the charity not just in March but all year around. All proceeds from the sale of this pattern will go to the Marie Curie Appeal.”

The daffodil pattern [link to be added] is worked on a 3mm crochet hook using knitshop.co.uk’s Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn. The main part of the flower is worked in the round using a combination of trebles and double crochet stitches. The petals are created separately and use slip stitches to cluster stitches together. There’s also a quadruple treble cluster stitch in the pattern that is great fun to work. It helps give the daffodil a really distinctive shape. Once you’ve made enough petals and your main flower you just need to sew them together.

Daffodils are especially nice with the first signs of sunshine!

 

The Daffodil crochet pattern is being sold as a kit containing the yarn, crochet hook and pattern to complete your daffodils. The kit contains a 50g ball of knitshop.co.uk Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn in Canary Yellow, a 3mm crochet hook and, of course, the pattern to make your daffodil. The kit costs £9.95, of which £9 will go straight to Marie Curie Cancer Care. Alternatively, you can buy Julieta’s Daffodil crochet pattern on its own for £3. In this case, the entire £3 will be donated to the charity. 

Once assembled it’s up to you how to you want to display your beautiful springtime bloom. You could attach it to a headband or make a stem for it from pipe cleaners or wire covered in green yarn. You could also add a brooch back attached to a piece of felt and pin your Daffodil Appeal to a jacket to show everyone your support for the wonderful nurses at Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Keep the chills away with Snug Boot Cuffs

It’s that awkward in-between time of the year. It isn’t yet spring, but the weather’s far too nice for staying indoors. Rather than be cooped up any longer, pull on your boots and coat and stride out for a healthy walk. If you pop a pair of boot-toppers on too, you’ll be in no danger of getting cold ankles or legs. 

Snug Boot Cuffs knitted in Mustard Yellow Socks Yarn

knitshop.co.uk’sSnug Boot Cuffs are ideal. They’re a one-skein knit that’s both simple and seam-free. You need 100g of knitshop.co.uk Sock Yarn – the brighter and more colourful the colour, the better. We’ve used Mustard Yellow Sock Yarn in our example, but this 80% wool, 20% ramie yarn comes in a deep Bordeaux Red, vibrant Green and a choice of blues too. 

These stylish and warm Boot Cuffs have been designed by
knitshop.co.uk owner Julieta I. Brandao

Snug Boot Cuffs are knitted in the round on either 3mm double-pointed or 3mm circular needles using an easy-to-remember combination of knits and purls. There’s no shaping involved, so this is a great first project if you’re new to knitting in the round. You’ll also find it useful to place a stitch marker at the start of each round.

As an alternative to Sock Yarn, you could knit your Snug Boot Cuffs using knitshop.co.uk’s luxuriously soft Alpaca Fino Yarn and take your pick from even more gloriously colourful shades. Alpaca Fino comes in a choice of 20 shades including Burnt Orange, Peacock-Teal, Pink, Red and Moss Green.

snug, warm and comfortable,
a must have accessory for the cold-warm season!

knitshop.co.uk’s Snug Boot Cuffs pattern is a really fast knit, so you could check the weather in the morning and whip up a pair in time for your post-lunch stroll. Because there are no seams to sew, you only have a couple of ends to darn in once you’ve finished knitting.

Since each 100g skein of our Sock Yarn contains 300m of yarn, you could also make a short pair of matching wrist warmers from the rest of the ball – not bad for a total cost of less than £8 for the yarn and pattern http://www.knitshop.co.uk/knitshop-pattern/3010-snug-boot-cuffs.html.

March workshops at knitshop.co.uk

We’re ringing the changes with our workshop schedule at knitshop.co.uk and are introducing lots and lots of new classes for you to try. The first one is Crochet Amigurumi on Saturday 1 March. In this fun workshop we’ll show you how to create mini characters known as ‘amigurumi’. The word is Japanese for a knitted or crocheted stuffed toy. You can have great fun turning your amigurumi into recognisable characters and animals. For example, one knitter in the US made a complete set of 12 Doctor Who Time Lords. To make amigurumi, you need only basic crochet skills. Our tutors will show you everything else you need to know, so you can be imaginative as you like.

Crochet Easter Eggs
using Cotton DK Yarn and 3.5mm crochet hook.

If you’d like to make more traditional crocheted items, we’ll be running a class in Tunisian Crochet on Friday 21 March. This ancient form of crochet (also known as Afghan crochet) uses a technique halfway between knitting and crochet and is worked on a much longer hook than standard crochet. Tunisian crochet makes a very tight fabric and can be used to make bags, table runners and other home-wares.

Tunisian Crochet Workshop at knitshop.co.uk
Learn Tunisian Crochet and practice the different stitches.

We’ll also be introducing another new crochet technique to our workshop schedule. Broomstick Crochet (Friday 28 March) uses extra-chunky crochet hooks to make very open, lace-like fabrics that are fast and easy to create. For example, you could use broomstick crochet to make a light and airy shawl.
Our final two March crochet classes are both seasonal ones. On Friday 7 March we’ll be crocheting flowers to give as a Mother’s Day gift, while on Friday 14 March we’ll be looking at how to Crochet An Easter Egg Decoration. Decorated eggs look wonderful and are a centuries-old tradition in Russia, eastern Europe and other countries. Once you see the results, we’re sure it’s a tradition you’ll be keen to adopt for your family too.

Knit the perfect Rose!

Knitters have got lots of interesting classes to enjoy in March too. We start off on Saturday 8 March with our Cable Knitting workshop. Cables are a great way to add interest to your knitting and are worked using just knit and purl stitches. We’ll show you how to incorporate cables into a scarf or a pair of wrist warmers – a satisfying first cable project.

Cabled wrist warmer knitted in Kolibri Wool Yarn.

Another wonderful way to advance your knitting skills is to knit lace garments. Our Lace Knitting class on Saturday 15 March shows you how to read a lace pattern, introduces you to yarnovers and slip stitches and helps you tackle complex multi-row patterns with confidence.

Learn to knit a beautiful lace shawl.

As with all our classes, our Lace Knitting class comes with full follow-up support, which means you can email or call us if you get stuck trying to complete something we’ve shown you. We are also introducing a Knitting SOS clinic at the end of each month where you can bring your troublesome knits and get help fixing them. Knitting SOS is free, but you need to book your place.knitshop.co.uk workshops take place at our boutique outlet at 326 Lee High Road, London SE13 5PJ from 11am to 1pm. All materials will be provided. Classes cost £15 per adult and there will be a maximum of six people per class.

Great new workshops – and free SOS classes

February may be the shortest month of the year, but that doesn’t mean you’re short of options when it comes to learning new knitting and crochet skills. At knitshop.co.uk we’ve got a full programme of workshops for adults and kids, which will be handy if you want to entertain them during half term. We’re even introducing a knitting and crochet SOS class to help you get back on track with projects you’re struggling with. 

Workshop at The Boutique Outlet in Lee Green

 

We’ve also got romance on our minds and will be showing you how to crochet a heartfor Valentine’s Day in our Friday 14 and Saturday 15February workshops. We’ll also give you some free chocolates to enjoy while making your loved one a beautiful handmade heart. 

Crochet Chocolates

On Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February we will be holding classes suitable for kids from 5 to 18 years old. Here, we’ll introduce them to the basics of knitting, from holding the needle and casting on to creating their first rows of knitting. We’ll give them enough yarn to complete their first knitting project too. For very young children, we’ll start off with finger knitting. It’s a great introduction to knitting. The Saturday class also gives kids the option to learn crochet. Each class costs £10 per child, and they need to be accompanied by an adult. 

Knitting in the Round Workshop with cable feature.

If you already know how to knit or crochet, you could learn Knitting In The Round or how to Crochet A Flower Brooch, as we’ll be running these adult classes alongside the kids’ classes on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February. For the Knitting In The Round class you simply need to know how to knit. We’ll show you everything you need to know about knitting with circular needles or double-pointed needles and give you the pattern to knit your own lacy wrist warmers using your new skills. 

Knit a Rose or Gift of your choice for your Mother!

On Saturday 22 February we’re looking at how to Crochet A Flower Brooch – something that would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift. Knitters get the chance to create a Mother’s Day gift on Friday 28 February when we’ll be showing you how to make knitted flowers or other pretty presents.

Also on Friday 28February we’ll be holding the first of our SOS workshops, where you can drop in and get help with projects you’ve started but can’t complete. 

Workshops take place at our boutique outlet at 326 Lee High Road, SE13 5PJ from 11am to 1pm and cost £15 per adult and £10 per child (under 18). All materials are provided and we offer free support afterwards to help you complete the project demonstrated in the class you attend.

Products of the Month February

Roses are red… and are so our February deals

We love February. It’s the most romantic month of the year and also marks the start of the shift away from forbidding winter to the new shoots of spring. We’re still wrapping up warm, but already thinking of places to visit and longer walks to enjoy with our nearest and dearest.

In fact, because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, we’ve had a rummage through our yarns and come up with 10 fabulous red yarns you can use to get creative and show off your affections. And to encourage you in your romantic endeavours, we’re giving you 15 percent off any of these 10 red yarns throughout the month of February.

Lacet Wrist Warmer in Dark Red
as seen in the Knitting Magazine.

If you want to make something snug to keep your loved one cosy, how about knitting a pair of Lacet Wrist Warmers in Bright Red Mulberry Silk Merino Wool Yarn? You’ll need just a single skein of yarn and a set of 4mm double-pointed needles.


Your sweetheart is also certain to love a gift of snug wristwarmers made from a skein of our popular multi-coloured Kolibri Wool Yarn. Using 5mm dpns or a circular needle, you’ll be able to impress them with a pair of fabulous Velvet Wrist Warmers knitted in Red Berry Kolibri Yarn combining lace and cabled panels.

Wrist warmers are ideal for this time of year when it’s getting warmer but still a bit chilly. Another great way to cover up is with a lightweight Ladder Stitch Scarf knitted in knitshop.co.uk’s Cotton Linen Blend Yarn. Make one in Carnation Red from a single 100g skein.

For a cosy and soft scarf, opt for a couple of skeins of Red Cotton Plied Wool yarn. This luxurious yarn is warm and lightweight and looks wonderful when used to knit simple but bold patterns. For example, you could use it to create a k4 p4 rib pattern on 4.5mm needles.

If you really want to make your loved one feel special you could knit or crochet a bouquet of roses using our Flame Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn or another fine yarn such as Red Mulberry Silk Plied Yarn. You can download the flower pattern for free and just need a pair of 2.5mm or 3mm needles to knit them on.


All the yarns we’ve mentioned above are included in our February Product of the Month promotion, which means you get 15 percent off. For the full list of red yarns included in this deal, see the links at the bottom of the page.
