The Creative Craft Show Malvern

Knitting and craft workshops at Creative Craft Show Malvern

At the end of February knitshop.co.uk will be exhibiting at the Creative Crafts Show near Malvern where we will be running three separate workshops. The show takes place at the Three Counties Showground from 28 February to 2 March and offers plenty of interest for the knitting, crochet and needlecrafts fan.

JulietaBrandao, knitshop.co.uk’s founder and designer, will be teaching three classes daily at the show.

The first of the day is for anyone who would like to learn crochet. Attendees learn how to make double and treble crochet stitches and how to use these techniques to make a granny square. The hour-long class starts at 11am and is suitable for beginners.

From 12.30 till 1.30pm Julieta will be teaching the invaluable technique of knitting in the round. You’ll be shown how to distribute your yarn across three or four double-pointed needles and join them up to create your first round. Once you’ve mastered this useful technique you’ll be able to create seamless three-dimensional items such as socks, mittens and hats.

The final class runs from 2pm to 3pm each day. In this workshop you will discover how to felt items and then apply small pieces of felt to baubles to create felted beads. Once you master the process you’ll be able to make unique necklaces, bracelets and decorations.

The crochet class is from 11am to noon; the knitting in the round workshop is from 12.30 until 1.30pm, and the felted beads class is from 2pm to 3pm. Each class lasts an hour and costs £5.

The Creative Crafts Show Malvern takes place from Thursday 28 February to Saturdauy 2 March. The show is open from 10am to 5pm each day and costs £7.95 per adult or £6.95 for concessions.

Classes can be booked through knitshop.co.uk, or you can book a slot (if places are still available) at the show.
