    Once you have been to a beginners class the next step is putting some shape into your knitting. Learning how to increase, decrease and use short rows will enable you to explore a greater variety of patterns.

    We will complete the centre of our cushion and work on the back section. The cushion is worked in one piece so there is minimal stitching up to do.

    Encountering knots on your latest knitting project? Join us for our Purls of Wisdom workshop – a sanctuary for solving all things knitting related. Bring along your latest project (big or small) and spend some time knitting and getting support from fellow crafters. We’ll have one of our expert tutors on hand to help you through those tricky stitches and help diagnose and solve your knitting conundrums. Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be offered to sustain you! Booking essential.

    Why not learn a new skill?

    You will need to bring needles and yarn
