FAQs

What skill level is this workshop?

This single workshop is suitable for new knitters and refreshers, but not absolute beginners.  If you can already work a simple knit stitch, and a simple purl stitch you will be able to knit cables with my help. Intermediate knitters are also very welcome.

The workshop will be held at Blackberry Cottage Studio, 25 Cuckoo Lane, North Leigh, Oxfordshire, England OX29 6PW  (just outside the historic textile town, Witney... a lovely place to visit)

Our cosy cottage studio is set within the grounds of Eynsham Hall in a creative and inspiring community of fine artists, designers and crafts people.  We love it here..... and we hope you do too!

The studio is a working design studio for most of the week,  but we open it up for some workshops throughout the month as we love to teach too!
