‘s knitting and crochet classes are back in full swing in September
after running a reduced program over the summer. New classes to tempt
you include Crochet With Colours and Fairisle Knitting.
First off all, the Boutique Outlet in Lee Green will be open again on Saturday's 10am - 3pm and workshops will resume from the 28th September, every Saturday 11am - 1pm.
This autumn we are offering you workshops for all colour knitting fans. Come
along to our Colour Knitting and Fair Isle workshops in November to find
out about the different techniques you can use to brighten up your
knits. From stripes to stranding, slip-stitch and intarsia, there are
lots of ways of introducing colour to your knitting and it’s not
always obvious which technique is the best to use.

If
you’ve a particular interest in either Fairisle or Intarsia colour
knitting, our dedicated two-hour workshops on each of these topics
will be sure to pique your interest. We use our Fairisle Wrist Warmer
pattern as the basis of our Fairisle workshop. It’s a great
introduction to this knitting technique and can be knitted flat or in
the round. Intarsia knitting, on the other hand, is almost always
knitted on a flat piece of work. Both types of colourwork are usually
described in knitting patterns using graphs, so we’ll help you
understand these too.

workshops are held at our boutique outlet at 326
Lee High Road, Lee Green from 11am to 1pm. All materials needed
for your workshop will be provided and you’ll have a choice of
colours to work in. You’ll have plenty of personal attention from
the tutor as there will be no more than six people in the class.
You’ll be able to take your project away with you along with the
pattern so you can complete it in your own time. We provide email and
phone support to help ensure you’re able to do so.
