All the essential skills you need to start your knitting journey! You'll be provided with a To Be Adorned knitting starter kit to keep, including beautiful British wool yarn and a pair of knitting needles, to start working your way through making a stitch sampler. We all learn at different paces, so you'll also leave with access to exclusive knitting how-to videos to re-watch in your own time.

We'll have a dedicated cosy space at Arcado Lou (https://thelounges.co.uk/arcado/)nge (https://thelounges.co.uk/arcado/) - it's easy to locate on Christchurch and there are car parks nearby.

This session is suitable for ages 12 and up. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult.

This workshop is hosted by local knit and crochet designer Becca from To Be Adorned (https://www.instagram.com/tobeadorned/). Spaces are limited for the event, but keep your eyes peeled for future workshops and social Stitch Nights, or contact Becca to book a one-to-one.
