Autumn has Arrived

Well that was one hell of a summer! As I write there is a cool breeze coming in through the windows meaning I am finally able to pick up the project that I lugged all the way to Spain and did not knit more than a row the whole time I was away.

We were not idle during the hot weather we have put together a packed timetable of knitting classes and workshops for you in our beautiful space to help you get your knit on! Put the kettle on, here is a list of the events with a more detailed description of what you can learn in September and October.
