Stitching Surgery for now this is just aimed at knitters (sorry crocheters but I am working on help for you) £5 a session. Do you have a question about a pattern? not sure which stitch to use? Dropped a stitch and don't want to pull all your hard work down but want to know how to pick it back up then this is for you. Book online or in the shop and let me know what you need help with so I can prepare for you.

Sock Saturday
Drop in anytime between 10.00 & 12.00 any Saturday with any sock knitting questions. Free of charge. Please note this is not a learn to knit socks session just a quick ' I have a question about....' session.
There will also be more classes and events coming so watch out for those.
