Learn to Knit - £5 Taster Session

Learn to knit with me, Louise from Sincerely Louise. As an award-winning knitting pattern designer and author of the beginner’s book First Time Knits, I’m passionate about getting people knitting. 

With my £5 taster sessions, I'll be teaching the basic knit stitch. These classes are aimed at absolute beginners and no skills are necessary. After attending one of these classes, you're welcome to join my Knit Socials, which offer informal skill building in a social setting. I also offer full knitting courses, which cover knit, purl, casting on and pattern reading.

Who are these evenings for?
My Learn to Knit Taster Sessions are aimed at absolute beginners. If you can knit and you're a little rusty and would like to refresh your skills, you're very welcome to join. This class will only cover the basic knit stitch (garter stitch).

Do I need to bring my own yarn and needles? 
I have a selection of yarn and needles available to buy on the night. You are welcome to bring your own yarn and needles. I have a card machine to take payments.

What's included?
Complimentary tea or coffee is included in the price.
