Domino Knitting – November 5th (Saturday) 10:30am- 3:30pm, £60
Domino Knitting is a deceptively simple technique which builds up one square at a time to produce stunning garments and accessories. If you can knit, decrease and count, you’ll soon get the hang of the basics. If you’re already familiar with patchwork knitting, find out how to create textured and patterned squares and 3-D fabrics.
Rosie will provide handouts and simple patterns that will help you transform your stash into covetable gifts. (Students will need to bring oddments of DK or 4-ply yarn in a variety of colours and either 4mm or 3.25 mm dpns).
