Join designer and knitting teacher Jacki from the Woolly Badger for 90 mins all about the joys of toe up socks. 

In this friendly session we’ll be talking about:

- The advantages of knitting toe up (there are a lot)
- How to cast on and get started
- Working magic loop vs using double pointed needles 
- Avoiding “ladders” at the edges of your socks
- Different heels that work toe up - and how to substitute them

And plenty more. There’ll be plenty of time for questions, so grab a cup of tea and come join in. 

Knitting - all about toe-up socks

Bea Jennings

Jacki’s workshop was fun and informative and the demonstrations were really clear and helpful. Although there was a clear structure to the class, she was very adaptable to our needs, spending longer on the bits that were new to us and really taking the time to answer our queries, demonstrating if necessary. My favourite thing about it was that I was left with the sense that I am actually capable of knitting much more ambitious things than I realised because there’s loads I can do with the fairly basic skills I have. 

Ros Gray

A really enjoyable and informative lesson.  Everything I wanted to know was covered and the live demos were great.  I learnt a lot.

Sarah de Vlieger

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.
