Crochet Classes

Crochet Classes

We are pleased to be able to offer 2 new crochet classes.

Absolute Beginners – learn to crochet in a small group environment at an evening class at Ready Steady Knit. Over three sessions you will learn the basic sills and stitches you need to get going with this versatile craft. The sessions will be from 7.00pm to 9.00pm on Wednesday 12^th September, Wednesday 28^th September and Wednesday 10^th October. You will need a 4mm crochet hook and a ball of Double Knitting weight wool – either bring it with you or purchase it on the night. Cost £10.00 per session to include refreshments.

Improvers – update your crochet skills in a small group at an evening class at Ready Steady Knit. Over three sessions you will have opportunity to update your basic knowledge of stitches, learn some new ones, and follow a pattern while completing three small projects. The sessions will be from 7.00pm to 9.00pm on Wednesday 19^th September, Wednesday 3^rd October and Wednesday 17^th October. You will need a 4mm crochet hook and a ball of Double Knitting weight wool – either bring it with you or purchase it on the night. Cost £10.00 per session to include refreshments.

As both groups will be small and cosy, places are limited to 4 for beginners and 6 for improvers, please ring or email me to book a place as soon as possible.

The shop will be open before and after the classes for anything you may need.

Carry on Crocheting - Once you have built up your skills we hope that we will have regular sessions for people to continue with their own crochet projects. Watch this space.

 With autumn just about here we have lots of new stock in the shop

Chunky wools in lots of warm variegated colours - This is Folksong

And this is Faroe - a super chunky quick to knit on 10mm needles

  So quick to knit that Audrey has done one in a few days and brought this lovely sleeveless jacket in to show us. The cable detail on the collar doesn't show up very well in the photo but we have a sample in the shop for you to have a closer look.














There are new baby yarns and patterns too - we now have Sublime baby yarn - a beautiful blend of cashmere, merino wool and silk.

Out and about - the shop is in beautiful Northumberland - near to Hadrian's wall. This weekend we were part of the London 2012 cultural Olympiad with this art installation of meteorological balloons which "talked " to each other along the length of the wall.  This one was feeling a bit sorry for itself.

Being encouraged by its neighbours it started to turn pink

Then inflated and floated up in the air - ready to play!!

Strange and thought provoking?


Happy Knitting !!
