You will need to prepare and bring with you a sample of circular stranded knitting based on a pattern which will be provided to you in advance.
This workshop is suitable for people with an intermediate level of knitting and attendees need bring their knitted sample, yarn and needles used for the sample, a crochet hook of the same size as the knitting needles, a tapestry needle and scissors.
As always, we'll give you tea and coffee to help the learning process!
