Common Thread - Beginners Crochet and Knitting Side-by side!
Regular price £45.00Have you ever wondered what really makes knitting and crochet different? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how the loops behave when created with a hook versus knitting needles, and discover the unique fabric each method produces. By working with both techniques, you’ll be able to see and feel the difference for yourself.
Rather than choosing a “side,” this workshop celebrates how knitting and crochet can complement each other. You’ll learn simple ways to combine the two crafts and gain confidence moving between hook and needles.
This session is suitable for beginners as well as makers who already practise one of the crafts and are curious to try the other.
