Knit One Purl One: Beginners Knitting - free 4-week class for adults 19+ yrs
Join us for a fun and friendly knitting course, perfect for beginners! You'll learn the basics of knitting, from casting on to creating simple stitches to make a cosy scarf to keep. Knitting is a mindful activity and good for mental health as we slow down and focus on each stitch. It's also a craft using everyday number skills from adding and subtracting, to exploring patterns and geometry.
Join us to knit, natter, slow down and improve our number skills along the way - and of course wear your bright new scarf home at the end of the course!
All materials provided. On completion of the course you will be able to keep your scarf.
