Samira Hill

Samira is a knitting and crochet designer, teacher, pattern writer and technical editor based in the Scottish Borders. She is also one of the organisers of Tangled Galashiels.  Samira’s classes are suitable for all abilities and we are excited to present two brilliant workshops from her this year.

Sock Knitting Workshop

Learn to knit brilliant socks from the toe up in this 3 hour class, and say goodbye to toe-grafting and left over yarns! When knitting your socks from the toe up, you get to finish the socks when the yarn runs out. No prior sock knitting experience needed, but experience in knitting in the round is recommended. Learn to make socks on 4 needles, on circular needles using the Magic Loop technique, and for those who already have some experience in sock knitting, learn to knit 2 socks at the same time on a single circular needle! 

In this workshop, participants will learn:

• Invisible cast on for the toe

• Sock kniting techniques (gusset and toe shaping, heel turning...)

• Stretchy Cast off for the cuff

Please Note: You must have a Marketplace ticket valid for the date of the class.  If you haven't already purchased one, you can buy either a Standard or Deluxe entry ticket from our Box Office.
