Workshop Details

Cast On / Cast Off Knitting Workshop with tutor, Kate Heppell

Friday 5th June 2026 | 10.15am - 4.15pm

Are your necklines and sock cuffs always too tight? Perhaps you've picked up a pattern and fallen at the first hurdle when it told you to begin with a cast-on you've never heard of? Or maybe you simply want to expand your skills and take your knitting to the next level? This is the workshop for you!

In the morning, we'll explore a wide range of cast-ons, from pinhole and provisional to Judy's magic cast-on and more. After lunch, we'll focus on finishing with some fabulous cast-offs, including (but not limited to) the EZ sewn cast-off, three-needle cast-off and Jeni's super-stretchy cast-off!

You will need to bring straight needles, circular and DPNs in 5mm, a darning needle and scissors.
