10.30pm – 3.30pm (buffet lunch included)

Come and learn how to use steeking in your colourwork knitting.

Before the class you will be provided with yarn and instructions to produce a simple stocking stitch swatch which we will use during the class to explore the basic steeking techniques that you will need to make Donna Smith’s fun Baa-ble mug cosy. There will be time in the class to start the mug cosy which you will be able to take home to finish.

The cost includes:

• yarn and instructions that you can use to produce the swatch which you will be using during the workshop to practice your first steeks

• printout, Ravelry download and mini-hanks of yarn for you to make Donna Smith’s Baa-ble mug cosy.

• light refreshments during the session and a buffet lunch

• tuition

• VAT

Please bring with you your prepared swatch and either a set of 3mm DPNs or long (80cm minimum) 3mm circular needle for magic loop or a 3mm mini circular needle (e.g. a 25cm Addi Sockwonder). If you need to purchase needles, please let me know when you book so that I can be sure to have enough!

Please let me know of any dietary requirements at the time of booking.

This is a workshop for up to 8 people and will take place in the Gallery’s Long Room. There is a chair lift up the stairs to this room that anyone with mobility issues is welcome to use.

Suitable for knitters already comfortable with basic knitting skills.
