Christmas Baubles | A classic decoration for your tree - 2nd Nov, 10am-1pm

Join us at The Knit Lounge for this fun and festive 3 hour workshop! Decorate your Christmas tree with these beautiful knitted Christmas baubles you can use year after year.  The classic (and addictive!) pattern book, 55 Christmas Balls to Knit, by Arne & Carlos has been a firm favourite since its first release in 2015. With the release of 65 New Christmas Balls to Knit this year, I've been given special permission to teach this lovely class.

The class is suitable for confident beginners/ intermediates who have knit in the round before.

In this workshop we will cover:

• Reading fair-isle charts and working fair isle motifs
• Using DPNs and working very small circumferences
• Working lifted increases

All materials are included to knit this classic decoration including 2 balls of 4ply yarn in Red and white (Baa Ram Ewe Pip), wool stuffing or Styrofoam ball.

You will need to bring with you:

- A set of 3mm DPNs. We recommend bamboo or wooden DPNs for this class. If you do not already have these and want to buy them from us please add a note to your order or email us so we can make sure we have enough on the day.

-  A copy of the Christmas balls pattern. This can be in the form of a download from the Arne & Carlos's website or one of the Christmas Ball books. Please feel free to bring your own copy of the book from home (if you have it) or you can buy a copy from the shop here. 

Tea, coffee and festive refreshments will be provided and you will also get a 10% discount on anything you buy in store on the day! Please feel free to email or phone the shop with any questions.

Important: The class is NOT suitable for absolute beginners and you will need to have knit in the round before. If you cancel your booking a refund can only be given if your spot is taken by someone else so please give as much notice as possible by emailing or popping instore.
