Felting and Beading: Lost Threads will be holding Felting and Beading workshops on Saturday 19 June at the Church Rooms. Tickets are £5 for each workshop or £8 for both, with a limit of 25 per workshop. Each workshop will be about 2 hours with a break for lunch. Tickets will be on sale in May - more details nearer to the time. 

Patterns

These Easy-Peasy Knitted Mitts are a good pattern for knitting beginners to start off with.

The pattern is a guide to have fun with - adjust it to suit thickness of wool or the size of the finished mitts, or differ the length of ribbing. The ribbing can be just a couple of rows to make dinky mitts.
