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:
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.
Then exciting bit! This week we will turn the heel of the sock- the key skill to sock making.
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 8 students, so grab a pal to come along too!
Skills required: You should already know how to knit and purl comfortably, preferably using circular needles or double-pointed pins.
Your kit includes:
100grams of Aran weight wool from recycled wool textiles in a colour of your choosing (enough for making an adult pair of socks)
What you need to bring or purchase beforehand (not included)
Circular knitting needles in size 4.5mm (80cm long) or you could use a set of double-pointed pins. It is important to have these exact sizes and length! (Get in touch if you need help).

Your chosen kit will be waiting for you at the workshop. You will be emailed all the details after you make your booking.
