'Beginners Guide To Knitting' 2 week workshop

Sun 24 Jan and Sun 21 Feb, 10am–12pm. Upstairs at Enki (30 High Street, Kings Heath) £75.

Ready to start knitting with confidence? Our two-session 'Beginners Guide To Knitting' Bootcamp is designed to give you everything you need to hit the ground running. With guided teaching, hands-on practice, and expert support both in-person and virtually, you'll finish the course feeling confident enough to start knitting projects of your own!

Perfect for beginners and people who've learnt the basics but lack the confidence to take on bigger projects, this relaxed and friendly course breaks everything down step by step across two two-hour sessions. There's also an optional WhatsApp group, where you can share progress, ask questions and get remote support from your tutor, Faith. The group will stay open until one week after the final class!

The fee includes your place at both in-person sessions, the optional WhatsApp group, and all the materials you'll need to get started.

Session One – The Foundations (Sunday 24th January, 10am–12pm)

In the first class, you'll learn the knit and purl stitches ~ the essential building blocks of knitting. We will then combine those into the following: garter stitch, stockinette, & rib!

You'll receive a ball of yarn and a pair of needles to take home, so you can practise as much as possible in the month between the sessions. Your challenge ~ create a practice swatch before we meet again, there will be a prize for the longest swatch! 🏆

Session Two – Skills & Next Steps (Sunday 21st February, 10am–12pm)

The second class begins with a review of your swatches, including troubleshooting and problem-solving any common beginner issues. You'll then learn how to cast on, how to read and choose knitting patterns and how to choose the right wool for your future projects!

All attendees will also receive 10% off all crochet and knitting supplies from ENKI, Kings Heath. 🧶

It makes a lovely Christmas present, and gift vouchers are available.
