Fair Isle Mittens Workshop with Bev Hodgkinson
Learn the traditional Fairisle knitting technique to incorporate colour into your work in this lovely full day workshop while you make a gorgeous pair of wrist warmers. In keeping with the upcoming season the design of the wrist warmers will include a snowflake. During the course of the day you will learn how to:
•Work a rib in two colours (Shetland rib)
•Follow a chart and how to strand
•Weave in and carry colours
•Mattress stitch
•Work patterns without getting your yarn tangled and so achieve an even tension
•Knit with two hands at the same time
Suitable for those who can cast on, knit, purl, cast off and follow a basic pattern.
Refreshments and a finger buffet lunch will be provided on the day
Yarn is provided as part of the workshop.

Double Knitting with the Sockmatician
We are absolutely delighted that Nathan Taylor aka ‘The Sockmatician’ is coming back to Craft Days! We had a fabulous workshop with him earlier in the year and had to disappoint many of you as it filled up so quickly. Now is your chance to try the technique of Double Knitting for yourself!
Double Knitting is worked using two colours and you end up with a double thick fabric with the pattern worked in the reverse colours on the other side e.g. if you create a pink heart on a white background, the other side will have a white heart on a pink background and the two sides will be connected. During the workshop you will make a coaster and you will need to bring about 20g each of 2 colours of dk yarn and size 3.75mm and 4mm needles. (Your tension may be different from normal). You need to be confident with knitting stocking stitch and it is a good idea to practice the ‘two colour long tail cast on’ before the class! (See Nathan’s YouTube video)
Nathan is great fun and a brilliant teacher. He was leaping around making sure everybody was happy. He posts a popular knitting blog and is determined to teach everybody Double Knitting, one knitter at a time! We will also be running an Advanced Workshop on Saturday November 4th.

Intarsia and Duplicate Stitch
Intarsia is one of the most satisfying ways of knitting with colour. Once mastered the creative possibilities are as endless as your imagination! It is perfect for Christmas jumpers, but also for many other projects as well. We will work a sample square with a ‘festive’ design (good practice) using the intarsia method and then add more detail using Swiss Darning (Duplicate Stitch). By the end of the workshop you will be ready to tackle the ultimate festive garment! Materials included.

Continental & Fair Isle Workshop with Juliet Bernard
Juliet Bernard was taught to knit by her German grandmother at the age of 5 or 6 using the continental method on circular needles. For her this is a very natural way to knit and very fast. She was the editor of The Knitter for 5 years and now works exclusively in the craft industry as well as teaching knitting.
Mastering the technique of continental knitting will allow the knitter to progress to two- handed Fair Isle which will make your stranded knitting projects much neater. During the workshop you will make a fair isle hat combining both continental knitting and fair isle techniques.
Yarn, refreshments and a finger buffet lunch will be provided on the day.
