Please note: In August 2024, we are relocating to our new site, Make Hamilton 2! We’ll no longer be at Make Hamilton Square on Cleveland Street. Our new address is just around the corner at 69-71 Argyle St, Birkenhead!

Join us for a relaxing workshop where you can practice or learn knitting skills and create something beautiful for the festive season. Knitting decorations is easy once you master basic stitches, and it’s a wonderful way to unwind and feel accomplished in just a few hours! You’ll be able to take home your handmade decoration, perfect for yourself or as a gift.

In this workshop, you’ll learn the essentials: casting on, casting off, knitting, and purling, which are the foundation of all knitting projects. These techniques are perfect for practicing changing yarns and increasing or decreasing stitches, which are key for knitting decorations.

You’ll have a variety of seasonal wool and patterns to choose from, and our knitting tutor, Cathy, will guide you through each step to knit your own festive decoration. Whether you’re refreshing your skills or learning new ones, this workshop is ideal for the festive period!

About the Teacher

Cathy from Threads UK learned to sew and knit as a child, but it was inheriting her grandma’s button collection that rekindled her passion. With a background in community work, she founded Threads, an informal crafting group. Cathy now hosts monthly knitting sessions, eager to share her skills with fellow crafters.

What can I bring into the event?

You don’t need to bring anything but yourself as all materials are provided. Wear comfortable clothing and feel free to bring along a drink or a snack if you wish.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No, a register will be taken at the workshop, it isn’t necessary to print your ticket.

The name on the registration/ticket doesn’t match the attendee. Is that okay?

Please bring along a print out of your ticket if the registration does not match the attendee, or contact hello@makecic.org to have them change the ticket so it contains your name.

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

If you find that you cannot attend then you are welcome to pass your place on to a friend who may find it useful. Please let the organiser know if you need to do this. Alternatively tickets can be transferred to a future event up to 7 days before the event.

What if Make CIC cancel the workshop?

This class does have a minimum requirement of ticket sales to proceed. Refunds will be offered in the event of the class being cancelled – in this instance we will give as much notice as possible and offer alternative dates if appropriate. We cannot be held liable for any travel costs incurred.

What if I can no longer attend and need to cancel my ticket?

If for any reason you find you are unable to attend then please get in touch and a refund can be offered up to 7 days before the workshop. *Refunds will be given minus Eventbrite fees, unless Make CIC cancel the class, in which case a full refund will be given*

Why is the refund Policy 7 days?

This is because we pay our practitioners fair wages for their work. Giving refunds on last minute cancellations would mean that practitioners would not be paid for the preparation they have put into their classes.

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Any child under 16 must be accompanied by an adult who must also purchase a ticket. We operate a no under 10 policy.
