Learn to Knit Workshops - Doncaster & Sheffield
Ever wanted to knit but just couldn't
quite grasp what those cute little diagrams in the back of the knitting
magazines were trying to convey? Sometimes, all it takes is to see
somebody actually do it.
Knitting is hugely popular
again, and the shops are full of magazines containing the most
wonderful patterns, using yarns from around the world in a myriad of
fibres. There will be a variety of magazines and pattern books
available for you to look through, and a great big basket of Ecoknits
yarn to 'smoosh' (technical yarnie term for squeezing, stroking and
getting downright tactile with).
Topics for further workshops could include how to read patterns and
charts, knitting swatches and getting gauge, rescuing dropped stitches,
choosing the right yarn/wool and needles for the project and knitting
with double pointed needles.
Complete beginners and rusty/lapsed knitters all welcome!
