Our May workshop was (Knit and) Purl Jam -
where the lovely Helen, Trina and Siobhan passed
on their fab knitting skills to the group. The Roses who attended were split
into three groups – absolute beginners who were taught how to make that all important
first stitch, for those who could do the basics they were taught how to do a
purl stitch and for those a little bit more advanced they had cabling demystified
for them (which involves a rather interesting looking needles).
Armed with needles and yarn the aim was that everyone who attended would able
to knit a basic square which can then be turned into a variety of projects including coasters, place mats and bags.
Overall, the evening was a huge success with everyone leaving having learnt a
new skill and bursting with ideas for new projects.
