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!

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.
Come and learn to knit! This class is for absolute beginners (or anyone in need of a refresher) and we'll teach you all you need to know for this calming and creative craft.
Experiment with short row shaping, using holding position, to make various types of directional knitting and three dimensional fabrics for a range of applications. Suitable for students with some prior knowledge of using a knitting machine.
Knitting and crochet keep your brain active, improve hand/eye coordination, can relieve symptoms of arthritis and help with relaxation.
