Crochet and Knitting lessons
I offer lessons in crochet and knitting – group sessions (2-4 people), or individual 1-2-1 sessions – in Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate, and occasionally in North London. I am currently also teaching crochet through Kent Adult Education at Broadstairs Adult Education College/Broadstairs Library – details will be on their website.
I can usually come and teach in your house if you have a suitable space. Otherwise, as long as you buy a drink (coffee, tea, cocktail!), in Ramsgate, during the day, I can teach you in the cosy surroundings of Home Front Tea Room in King Street. In Margate I can teach at the International Food Centre Cafe in Northdown Road during the day and at the lovely little bar on the seafront Little Swift. In Broadstairs, I can teach you during the day at Forts Cafe in Chandos Road, and in the evening at the Little Albion pub in St Peter’s Road.
You can either buy your own hook/needles/yarn (don’t worry I’ll advise what you need in advance), or you can buy them direct from me at the lesson.
If you’re interested in any of my sessions, please email me at info@pickingupstitches.com
