Bring your knitting project - and your baby - along to this special knitting workshop just for parents of pre-mobile babies.

Think of it as a mini-version of our popular Sweater School workshop; you bring your choice of project, whether that's a baby cardigan, a sweater for you, or anything else that takes your fancy, and get the help you need to master the techniques involved.

We'll have a playmat and toys for the babies, and tea, coffee, and snacks for the adults. There are just three spots per course, so there'll be plenty to go around.

Your tutor will be Jacki from the Woolly Badger - a knitting teacher and mum of two young boys. And if you haven't yet got a project picked out, then she or Meg, the owner of No Frills Knitting, will be able to help you find something.

Knitting - de-scarying lace knitting

Claudia

The De-Scarying Lace Workshop is essential for any aspiring knitter! Getting comfortable with lace techniques requires confidence and Jacki empowers you with that by the ton - she simplifies the terminology and provides working examples to demonstrate the techniques. I attended to give me a boost to give it a try and I've since knitted a lace cardigan! Fantastic workshop, would highly recommend.
