Developers & Improvers Knitting Sessions
Ready to build confidence and take your knitting skills further?
These 8 session which can be booked individually or in complete blocks are designed for knitters who already have some basic experience and are ready to develop their skills in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Perfect if you’ve recently learned the basics, if your skills are a little rusty, or even if you’ve knitted quite a bit and want to push yourself further, these sssions are flexible and responsive to the needs of the group.
During these sessions you’ll refine core techniques while being introduced to new stitches, methods, and small projects that gently stretch your abilities as desired. Sessions are informal and encouraging, with plenty of individual guidance, making this an ideal course for anyone wanting to move beyond the basics, troubleshoot common issues, and gain confidence tackling more complex patterns.
The course adapts to the experience, interests, and pace of participants, so no two groups are exactly the same.
The individual sessions are standalone so if you can only join in on the odd one, or even alternate weeks that will work fine.
