Question 1

Is this a beginners' class?

Accepted Answer

No. I expect you to be familiar with the basic operation of a domestic knitting machine. I will be running separate classes for complete beginners from early 2025.

Question 2

What should I bring with me?

Accepted Answer

A digital photograph on a usb drive or some other means to transfer it to my laptop. A  notebook and pens/pencils. Also a packed lunch or be prepared to go out to a nearby cafe. Beverages and snacks will be provided.

Question 3

Access issues

Accepted Answer

Coburg House is an old building with lots of stairs and no lift. My studio is on the second floor and has no windows. I realise this isn't ideal and am looking into alternatives for future events. If you have a wool allergy this may also cause a problem. Please contact me to discuss alternatives.

Question 4

Which bus should I get?

Accepted Answer

Lothian Buses routes 16, 34, 35, 36 to Commercial Street and a short walk around the Aldi supermarket or routes 7, 10, 14, 21  to Great Junction Street (where it crosses the Water of Leith)  and a short walk down Coburg Street.

Question 5

Is there parking?

Accepted Answer

There is on-street parking in the area. There are also ever-changing road works!  I will update you in the follow up email if you are attending a workshop.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

If I have to cancel the workshop you will receive a full refund. If you have to cancel and I can fill your place then you will also get a full refund. If I can't fill your place then I will refund 75% of the fee.
