Learn to Knit with Ammonite Yarns

Knitted and crocheted garments are very popular right now and what could be better than creating your own.  Our knitting and crochet classes cater for beginners, novices and intermediates so why not book yourself on. 

Knitting classes:
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. 

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.

Foundations covers:
Week One
knitting and purling technique check
increase and decreasing techniques and when to use them
Week Two
Tension, pattern reading, mini-project to complete at home
Week Three
Finishing techniques
 
Building Blocks
Week One
Working in the round using double pointed needles and circular needles
Week Two
Colourwork -- intarsia and stranded 
Intarsia
Stranded colourwork
Week Three
Lace & cables

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.
