Settle In

Settle In

Settle into your seat, get comfy, and say hello to the people around you. We’ll bring over your tea or coffee so you can relax and take a moment before we dive in.


Learn to Knit and Purl

Learn to Knit and Purl

You’ll begin with knitting already on the needles, practicing knit and purl stitches before moving on to casting on with beanie wool


Learn to Cast On

Learn to Cast On

When you’re comfortable with the basics, you’ll move on to soft beanie wool and learn how to cast on the stitches for your very own hat.


Get Knitting!

With the prep done, you’ll be ready to start your beanie pattern. Don’t worry if you don’t finish in class -- you’ll have support as you begin and the confidence to keep going at home.


Stop by Again!

Join our stitch social once a month on a Thursday evening to continue knitting in company


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!
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.

  • 5/5 from Susan McIntyre, attended Mar 2026: Emily was a patient teacher who gave clear instructions and guidance in how to learn to knit. I love that the classes are small so everyone has time with the instructor on things they’re not clear on. I highly recommend both the knitting and beginner’s embroidery classes. The venue is bright and airy - just a really pleasant environment in which to learn.

  • 5/5 from Tiffany Chua, attended Sep 2025: I am a complete beginner when it comes to knitting and after this workshop I am happy to report that I can now confidently knit, purl, cast on and off! I had an amazing time and Emily is a wonderful teacher! I was very nervous because I wasn’t sure if I would get the hang of it but after a while everything clicked!
  • 5/5 from Chloe Amoo, attended Aug 2025: Me and a friend booked a private knitting course with Emily and it was fantastic. She is a great teacher! The atmosphere was chilled and we had a laugh too. I finally know how to knit and I will be back for some refresher sessions on Wednesday I’m sure!

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!
