If you would like to knit but are a novice or not very confident of your skills,  then our 'Learn the Basics' courses would be ideal for you.
These courses are aimed at knitters who know how to cast on, knit, purl and cast off.   We offer two, three week courses, Foundations and Building Blocks

Each course is made up of three sessions and cost £40.00 per set of three.
Each level has an optional materials pack to use during the course (£15.00) or you can bring your own.

Foundations

Building Blocks

Week Three
Lace & cables
Optional pack comprises: one set  of double pointed needles and a circular needle; cable needle and two colours of Mambo DK.

At the end of each session we will give suggestions for patterns and yarns which use the skills learned that week to produce a small project.

If you would like to join our courses but have never knitted, we also offer a stand-alone session (Basics) which teaches how to cast-on, knit, purl and cast-off.
