Shenanigans in detail
Calling all rebels, rule-breakers, shakers and makers...
Why? Because we encourage you to drop stitches, lose count of rows & basically do what you want as long as you're having fun! There is no such thing as a mistake.
Our first yarn club was booked out and here's another one for those who missed out and for those who want to advance from their first session!!!
There will be finger food and Prosecco.
If you attended our first session, please buy a Knit-wit 2.0 ticket and arrive at 2.30pm
If you are attending for the first time please buy a Knit-wit Newbie ticket and arrive at 2pm
Knit-wit 2.0 will get to:Â
Refresh the skills learned in the previous yarn club.Â
Learn more new stitches and work on the project we started previously.
Bring your WIPs & any concers you may have.
Bring along the tools and materials from your first sesions or buy new ones at the yarn club.
Knit-wit Newbies will learn:
- Cast on stitches
- Knit/purl stitches - your gateway to experimentation
- Adding extra stitches
- Decreasing extra stitches
- Colour-blocking
- Knitting in a round - to make an infinity scarf (optional)
- What to do if you drop a stitch
- ...and most importantly why freestyle knitting should become your next favourite hobby
Will leave with:
- Yarn skills for a lifetime
- A pair of high-quality knitting needles that are interchangeable (they are the best because you won't to buy too many different ones for each individual project)
- Luxurious plant-based yarn - enough for your first project (plus more can be purchased if you want)
- Stitch markers for your current and future projects
- .....and a little tipsy from the Prosecco
There will be hands-on demonstrations for the group and for each individual if you need a little extra care.
Please bring a small pair of scissors, notebook & pen. But we will make sure you get enough practice that the stitches become muscle memory for you.
All training, tools & materials for your first project, finger food and a glass of Prosecco is included in your Knit-wit Newbie ticket.
Training, finger food and a glass of Prosecco is included in your Knit-wit 2.0 ticket.
As with all our events, a portion of every ticket will be donated to an organisation fighting animal cruelty. This time, $10 from every ticket sold will be donated to The Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds to support the end of greyhound racing. Learn about their work and feel free to support them additionally on their website.
Looking forward to a fun afternoon with you lovely knit-wits (we don't have age, gender, social demographic biases - everyone is welcome)!
