New knitting classes in March


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.
