Ever wanted to learn to knit? Start with something cosy and satisfying - your very own handmade beanie!
We’ll be using 12mm needles and starting off with thick, stretchy yarn, making it easy to get the hang of things. You can then progress to a ball of Wool and the Gang Crazy Sexy wool as you start on your beanie.
The yarn, needles and yarn needle are yours to keep! Plus, you'll receive a set of beginner-friendly instructions with space for notes, and extra easy-to-follow patterns for hand mittens and slippers - so you can keep knitting even after the workshop!
Need extra help? Every second Wednesday we have a textiles social, a session where you can come to be reminded of stitches and learn whilst you have a good chat.
Tea, coffee, and biscuits are included - because knitting is always better with a cuppa!
At Something Good Workshops, we have a fully stocked bar with a great mix of drinks - from craft beers and cocktails to soft drinks and tea and coffee - so you can sip, snack, and have a proper good time! Got any special requests or dietary needs? Just let us know, we’ve got you covered!
We’re also flexible with timings – if the listed slots don’t quite work for you, please don’t be shy about asking for another date or time. Just let us know whether you’d like a private booking, or if you’d prefer us to open up a new time slot for others to join too.

£30 of materials to keep (Yarn, Knitting Needles and Yarn Needle)

Hi, we’re Emily and Jess, the creative minds behind Something Good Workshops!
Our journey began in 2019 when Emily launched Something Good Workshops (originally known as MADEptford) as a way to spread crafty joy and raise funds for running the London Marathon. What started as a one-time idea quickly grew into a passion for bringing people together through creativity. Since then, we’ve hosted a wide variety of workshops, from arm knitting to body casting, in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, cosy pubs, pop-up shops, and even people’s homes.
After taking a short break, we’re back with fresh energy and an exciting new partnership. Jess has joined the team, and together, we’re on a mission to spark joy and empower people to explore their creativity in relaxing, welcoming spaces. We believe there’s something magical about slowing down, working with your hands, and leaving with something you’ve made yourself - whether it’s a chunky knit blanket, a personal shrine, or a collage bursting with personality.
What makes us unique? We’re all about creating an environment where people feel at ease, whether they’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker. Over the years, we’ve held workshops in so many different settings, and one thing always stands out: the joy people feel when they realize just how creative they can be.
We’re not just here to teach a craft - we’re here to help you unwind, have fun, and leave with a tangible reminder that you’re capable of making something good.
We can’t wait to meet you at a workshop soon!
