In this engaging hand knitting workshop in Whitley Bay, you'll dive into the world of knitting and acquire essential skills to create your projects. Everyone will learn a basic knit stitch on chunky needles. Some learners will progress onto purl, moss, and rib stitches. Every learner learns at a different pace.
Don't worry if you're new to knitting -- this workshop provides a supportive and relaxed environment where you'll feel at ease as you learn. You'll receive workshop handouts to guide you during the session and to take home for future reference.
What you'll explore:
  • Learning the basics of knitting.
  • Discovering how to hold the knitting needles and yarn.
  • Mastering casting on and off techniques.
  • Progressing from basic knit stitch to purl, moss, and rib stitches based on each learner's ability.
By the end of the workshop, you will hopefully leave with the skills and confidence to embark on your knitting journey independently. Imagine being able to create your own beautiful hats and scarves – all thanks to the newfound knowledge and experience gained during this activity.
Please note: The workshop is held upstairs with no lift access.

Re-Create today was set up in 2016 and the aim was to create a safe and fun environment to offer a range of sewing and crafting inspired workshops. We run our workshops on the first floor premises of 62-64 Park View in Whitley Bay. We host and run workshops, courses and weekly groups. I have personally been running sewing and textile workshops for over eight years now. Our courses are run over a four week period for two and a half hours each week. Materials are included in our courses. The courses are aimed at absolute beginners. Mental Health is very important and our workshops enable the attendees to be mindful and focus on the task in hand. This enables them to be present and for a short time forgot about the daily stresses of the outside world.
