🧶 DISCOVER THE JOY OF CROCHET (AND KNITTING!) THIS SPRING

As the days brighten and spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to join us for some mid-week creativity! Whether you want to find a little ‘me’ time or master a new hobby, our sessions are the perfect place to start.

The Power of Craft

Crochet is believed to have many mental health benefits. It’s been known to help with stress and anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It is even known to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and can greatly build self-esteem. It’s a wonderful way to spend time with a friendly community who love to create!

Our Weekly Sessions

We have a lovely group of ladies who meet at Copper Hall, Witton Gilbert, on Wednesday evenings for 2.5-hour sessions:

• Time: 6:30pm to 9pm

• Cost: £6.50 (includes tea, coffee, and biscuits!)

• What we do: We cover everything from the very basics for beginners, complete new starters and advanced support. In addition to our regular workshops, I run special projects usually on a weekend—past favourites include Boho bags, Mandalas, storage baskets and Wheat Stitch cushions! I can help with anything you are currently working on.

Knitting Support & Tuition

While the main focus of our group is crochet, knitters are also very welcome! I am an experienced knitter and can offer:

• Beginner Lessons: Learn to knit from scratch in a relaxed environment.

• Pattern Support: I can help you navigate more complex knitting patterns and technical stitches.

• Project Help: Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting, I’m here to support your knitting projects alongside our crochet activities.

You might be a seasoned crafter who wants to meet with like-minded people for a relaxed sharing of ideas, or a complete novice wanting to start something new and exciting.
