Beginner's Knitting Workshop - Get Started! (materials included)

Come and learn how to knit with Nicky Jerrome from All About The Yarn.

You will be learning the basics of knitting:

• Casting on
• Knit stitch
• Purl stitch
• Binding off
• Weaving in your ends

I will also explain

• How to read a simple pattern
• How to change colour to make stripes
• Seaming your work with mattress stitch

Enough wool and a pattern will be provided for you to take home after the workshop to make a simple pair of wrist warmers. After the course, you will be sent links to videos showing the techniques covered so that you can refresh your memory if needed!

Tea, coffee, cake/biscuits and plenty of encouragement are also provided.
