I knitted a sock! It’s been one thing I’ve avoided for years but thanks to Elizabeth’s enthusiasm, clarity and buckets of patience a sock was achieved. Family beware - socks now will be provided. It was a great way to spend a very wet afternoon with other lovely people doing something so enjoyable. Thank you.
What a fantastic workshop! Elizabeth was a fabulous, patient teacher and explained everything brilliantly. I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon and came away able to knit socks from the toe up - something I’d been wanting to learn for a while. This workshop is highly recommended and I’m looking forward to putting my new skills to use. Thank you to Ella as well for the tea and biscuits 😉
