Weekend Workshops
Learn a new technique over a lazy weekend, while watching Netflix, sipping a latté and knowing your to-do list can wait. (cos it can!)
Want to try a new knitting technique?
- Doesn't it take an age to get it wrong, rip it out, get it wrong, rip it out, and only after two less-than-perfect attempts, do you finally feel you've accomplished something?
- And which technique to try? There are so many options, from stitch patterns to colour work, to fancy slip-stitch textures. Isn't it just easier to find a tried and trusted pattern, pull out some yarn from your stash and get knitty?
- The tried and trusted can get boring. You're an intelligent human, you like to be challenged occasionally- but with 3 kids, (make that 4 with hubby!) a jack russell, and not even enough time to watch Strictly anymore, can your weekend actually find an hour for more knitting?
Bite-sized learning is a breeze!
- With a set of step-by-step videos you're able to fit a new technique in your knitter's toolbox easily and quickly. That old standby, of Googling jargon and not knowing which video actually gets it right, can be left behind!
- You can repeat the pattern, to practice the new style a few times in a weekend, and have Christmas gifts lined up you'll be proud to present (Yeah- you'll look oh, so, smug when they say 'did you knit this yourself?').
- Why is it the rest of the family has treats and weekend highs? Okay you don't play football, or take swimming certificates anymore, but you deserve some stimulation other than sorting the laundry into different colours on a Saturday morning!
- Have you been knitting your way through a long, long, long, loooong project and feel if you're not careful it could end up being another WIP that sits in the spare room and gloats every time you walk past to check the thermostat on the radiator? Just a quick break, a weekend off from the top-down jumper or the pile of squares for your giant afghan throw, will boost your motivation and be a welcome reminder that you can finish projects- really, you can!

pdf Pattern Guides
Once you start knitting through a pattern it can be easy to get lost and wonder where you are next time you pick up the knitting. This is why I've created exclusive pattern guides for each and every workshop pattern.
If you're a fan of planners, habit trackers and bullet journals you'll love these.

Why learn to knit with Hannah?
Hi, I'm Hannah!
I've been knitting since I was yay high, (you know, the height of a four-year-old!) which is almost 4 decades. I've knitted countless items, tried and conquered so many techniques and styles of knitting, and learned a lot of what not to do too! Let's face it, I just love it.
My teaching experience comes not just from teaching my friends and family to knit ( I was helping my friends at school!) but also from teaching the piano in my 20s and from having a Mum who was a teacher- her style and experience rubbed off on me, so I know how to break down tasks and deliver it so you can understand more fully and easily what you're learning.
These Weekend Workshops are some of my favourite creations- I love teaching and learning in bite-sized chunks- I hope you'll love them too!
