Knitting evenings

Weekly Beginners Knitting Group

As the dark evenings linger, get out of the house, pick up some needles, learn a new skill, and enjoy good company at our Weekly Beginners Knitting Group, meeting every Tuesday at 7pm.

It will be a “stitch and bitch” / “knit and natter” kind of evening.

Bring your curiosity and most importantly a sense of humour.

Venue: To be confirmed once numbers are in.

Cost

There’s no course fee. The cost is:

• Basic needles and wool (we can advise what to buy — and order supplies in bulk).

• A small contribution to the venue if required (final cost to be confirmed once numbers are known).

Who it’s for

This relaxed, friendly evening is perfect for:

• Complete beginners

• Anyone returning to knitting after a break

• Experienced knitters if you’d like to come along and help other knitters.

What you’ll learn

Over the first weeks, we’ll cover the core skills you need to knit with confidence:

• Casting on

• The knit stitch

• Practising the knit stitch to make a simple garter stitch bag

• Casting off

• Simple shaping with increasing and decreasing

• Sewing up panels to finish your project neatly

What’s next

Once you’ve got the basics under your belt, you can:

• Opt into a fingerless mitts kit (choice of 10 colours) — practising rib stitch and stocking stitch while making something practical and stylish.

• Choose a straightforward project of your own

Let’s illuminate those dark nights with colour, creativity, and conversation.
