Ever been jealous of people who can whip up a magnificent scandi jumper of dreams from a humble ball of yarn? Laura Gauld and Shona Mason provided words of encouragement and wisdom to knitting newbies as part of the CreateSpace Online programme, providing advice on how to get started on your knitting journey. The session covered deciphering knitting patterns, navigating the complex world of wool, and how to tap into the expansive online knitting community for support and inspiration. A recording of the session is available below and a Knitting for Newbies Resource List has been created to get you knitting in no time!
