Knit your own socks! This course will run over three weeks at an adorable cafe around the corner from the shop complete with cake and a cuppa for everyone.
Join us for this in person 3-week sock knitting course tucked in a lovely wee cafe across the street from the shop.
We will cover all the basics of knitting in the round while working on a cosy house sock to practise and develop your skill with a different focus each week. The dates are as follows:
- Sunday 31 March at 3:30pm - 5:30pm: In the first session we will cast on and go over how to start knitting magic loop then begin knitting the cuff of our sock.
- Sunday 7 April at 3:30pm - 5:30pm: The exciting bit! This week we will turn the heel of the sock- the key skill to sock making.
- Sunday 14 April at 3:30pm - 5:30pm: Finally we will decrease and graft the toe stitches together to finish off our seamless sock.
Your tuition includes a cuppa and bit of cake during each class, along with a kit that will be waiting for you at the workshop. The workshop allows for a maximum of 6 students, so grab a pal to come along too!
