This is a fun activity in Kings Cross, London
Join this 2-day (Saturday and Sunday) weekend machine knitting workshop for beginners in King's Cross, London, and get to grips with the fundamentals of the domestic knitting machine. Over two days, this hands-on course will guide you through the essential skills needed to operate the machine and create your own fabrics, all within a friendly, small-group setting.
Over the two days, you’ll learn all the essential skills to get started. You'll gain an understanding of the machine, tools, and begin creating beautiful textures and patterned fabrics.
**Day 1: Getting Started**
You’ll begin with the basics, learning how to cast on and off, transfer stitches, and build confidence using the machine. You will create an open work sample while exploring key techniques such as pin tuck, weave, and jacquard.
**Day 2: Building Texture and Form**
On the second day, your focus will shift to the remaining techniques available on a domestic knitting machine. You'll explore tucking, partial knitting, and using the holding position to create fascinating 3D and textured effects. You will have time to experiment and combine methods to develop your own unique fabric samples.
You’ll leave the workshop feeling confident in your newfound abilities, ready to continue your machine knitting practice. You'll also take away the beautiful, textured fabric samples you created over the weekend.
