Workshop information: Join Frederica Patmore for a festive exploration into both knitting and crochet techniques. Learn short-row shaping and how to knit in the round on double-pointed needles to make miniature Christmas stockings – the best first step into the world of sock knitting! Followed up with crocheted snowflakes to trim your tree this Christmas or gift to your friends, this multi-day workshop will also include demonstrations on how to knit with beads, embroidery, and basic crochet techniques for anyone who’s a little rusty. You just need to have learned the basics in both knitting and crochet to join this fabulous festive retreat.
