This series of classes is for those new to knitting socks as well as those who would like to learn how to knit in the round using double pointed needles (dpns). Over the four weeks, we’ll practise the important components of knitting socks from the top (cuff) down including knitting in the round, turning the heel, forming the gusset and shaping and grafting the toes.
We will be knitting an adult-sized sock (and its pair!) in a plain or self-patterning yarn of your choice – providing an ideal opportunity to explore different colourways/designs than might not otherwise appear in your wardrobe! In order to complete the socks, knitting will be required in-between classes but, by keeping our class size small, we ensure that new techniques are introduced only as your own experience grows.
The cost of this course includes all materials (yarn, hook and project bag), your pattern, notes and tuition so you just need to bring yourself!
Welcome to Kathy’s Knits. For as long as I can remember, knitting has been my passion. And opening a shop in 2012 was the realisation of a dream that’s been 30 years in the making.
It was my grandmother who got me started at the age of four. She taught me those first few fumbling stitches. What I didn’t know then was that knitting was in my blood and these were to be the first of millions.
Together we'll make a pair of fingerless mitts, learning all the basics of knitting along the way: how to knit, purl, cast on and bind off as well as seaming and weaving in the ends of your finished project.
We are very lucky to offer Knitting and Crochet classes in our Studio run by Made in Winchester, this lovely business is owned by the very talented Rebecca Miles.
This workshop will show how to design and make a needle case using a selection of decorative stitches on the sewing machine. And to save you searching for a needle to fill it, you’ll also receive a free packet of large-eyed needles to get you started.
Beginners CrochetIn this course, we will teach you the most commonly used crochet stitches, show you how to begin and finish a piece of crochet and talk about colour choices of yarns. You will learn how to read a crochet pattern, how to make granny squares.
Utilizing your knit, purl, and cast-on skills, you’ll be able to learn how to make these snuggly socks (although in class you will make a scaled-down version) learn how to knit the gusset, shape the heel and toe, and finally cast-off with Kitchener stitch.
