Knitting classes
Looking for some new knitting challenges ...
It is never too late to learn to knit, or perhaps refresh forgotten skills. The autumn and winter evenings will be getting long and it is always nice to keep yourself occupied other than by flicking on your mobile phone.
For any information, please do not hesitate to contact me [email protected]

Fair Isle
Saturday afternoons, 14:00-16:00
16.12, 13.01, 20.01, 27.01, 3.02
Another class on colourwork in the round, however Fair Isle patterns are very fine, change colour frequently and can be knitted in a whole range of shades. We'll be knitting a vest from the bottom up, using the steeking technique to create the neckline and armholes.
The first session in December will be devoted to choosing the colours and explaining the pattern. For the class on 13 January, you will be expected to have knitted the body of the vest up to the base of the armhole so that the more technical part can begin.
A great adventure for knitters who have mastered jacquard and are keen to learn new techniques.
Advanced level.

Mohair is a very soft, fine and incredibly light material with a multitude of uses... as a single yarn, doubled, or held together as a companion yarn. We'll start by experimenting a little with these combinations, practising a few techniques (increases) and stitches (English ribbing) and then making top-down pullovers.
