Knitting and Crochet Skills
- A flexible knitting and crochet course, suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to stitching ninjas. The tutor intends to tailor the course content to reflect the aims and interests of students and to challenge the class to explore their creativity whilst expanding their technical skills.
- Perhaps you’ve always wanted to try amigurumi crochet, circular knitting, fairisle, socks, or do you have an unfinished project you need help to continue or revamp?
- Maybe you’ve been told how mindful and relaxing crafts can be, but don’t have the time to teach yourself?
- Join us to explore how to craft more sustainably by: reusing yarns, creating and using recycled yarns or scrap materials, and mending existing knitwear. Learn how to reduce your household plastic use by crafting dish scrubs, wash cloths, facial cleansing pads etc.
