knitshop.co.uk has some brand-new classes in March to help bolster your knitting and crochet skills.
First up are our two-part sock
knitting classes. Most socks are knitted from the cuff down. These
workshops cover the less-straightforward toe-up knitting technique.
The first part of the course shows you how to cast on and shape the
toe, while the second part looks at turning a heel.
Sock knitting can be daunting, but
many people find they really enjoy the process once they get started.
Sign up here and find out whether you’re destined to become a sock
addict.
Toe Up Sock Knitting Part I is on
Friday
8 or
Saturday
9 March.
Part II is on Friday 15 or Saturday
16 March.
We’ve got another new class likely
to be of interest to those who already know the basics of knitting.
On Saturday 22 March we are running a class on Finishing
Techniques and Fixing Mistakes.
If your seams tend to be lumpy or you often drop or make stitches,
this class is the one for you.
Crochet fans can explore new chain
options in our 23 March class on Crocheting
A Corsage.
Simple stitches and luxurious yarn are used to stunning effect.
We’re always keen to encourage new
knitters, of course. We’re offering lessons in how to learn
to knit
on 30 March. The £15 class will show you how to hold your needles,
create your first stitches and create rows of knitting. Using these
skills you’ll soon be able to make your first mittens or scarf.
Alongside the Beginners’
Knitting Class,
we’ll be running a kids’ class. Swing
The Needles
introduces under-16s to needlecraft and shows them the basics of
either knitting or crochet, depending on their preference.
We’ll also be running our popular
Knitting
In The Round
class on Saturday 29 March. Using this technique you can create
seam-free items such as gloves and hats.
knitshop.co.uk’s
adult classes are £15, while kids’ classes are £10 each. Check
our regularly updated workshop
schedule
for details of classes and events, as well as special discounts on
particular workshops.
