Have you ever wanted to learn knitting? This Perth workshop is perfect for you!
Perfect for absolute beginners, you will learn basic knitting stitches and techniques and go home with the start of your very first scarf. You will continue the scarf at home to knit it to your desired length - this will provide you with plenty of opportunity to practice and refine your learned skills.
You will learn basic knitting stitches and techniques, enough to be able to continue at home and explore beginner projects. How exciting? The session is all about fun, casual vibes, like crafting with friends.
This interactive class will first begin with your teacher demonstrating how to hold your knitting needles and yarn.
