SAPLING CUSHION KNITTING WORKSHOP

JANUARY 2023 - HURRY, LAST FEW PLACES AVAILABLE!

I will be hosting this in person workshop on the 18th January 2023 in a wonderful venue called the Westwood Centre above the village of Slaithwaite in West Yorkshire.

Here is a short video explaining the project.

I have created two colourways in the gorgeous Rowan Felted Tweed yarn but I will also be bringing a variety of other shades if you would like to select your own.

The project uses some of my favourite techniques of slip stitch knitting to create the beautiful colourwork.

This is a full day workshop to immerse yourself in the project and to enjoy some New Year 'Hygge' and cosiness with like minded folk.

Lunch, drinks and as many biscuits as you can eat will also be provided along with the Rowan Felted Tweed yarn to complete the project.

Design previews!

I am going to be adding some videos to my blog and design pages, hopefully this will show a bit more detail to the design as I know as knitters we are all quite tactile people this might help show the texture, stitches and construction more clearly.

The first one is for my Tiles and Stripes Cushion which is available on my site as a kit or on Ravelry as a paid download pattern.
