Did you know that cables are much easier than they look? Learn to make these twisted patterns in one evening. In the class we will learn to work some basic cable patterns from both written and charted patterns, working with a pattern for a cabled headband. These criss crossing braided textured stitches are made with just knit and purl stitches, making it perfect for fairly beginner knitters. After learning how to work cables in the class, students will be able to put cables onto any other kind of knitting project, from hats to mittens, scarves to sweaters!

This class is for adventurous beginners, confident with knit and purl stitches. 

Natalie is a true knitting professional! Thank you

Another great course hosted by Natalie! She gives easy to follow instructions and is at hand to help when things go not quite to plan.

Natalie is a terrific, patient teacher -- it's been wonderful to be able to build on basic skills and understanding of how knitting textures come together with her help.

Learn To Knit Cables

Natalie Osborn

I absolutely LOVED this class! Natalie has such a wonderful way of teaching – supportive,  kind, informative – and obliterates the jargon that can often be so off-putting in knitting patterns, especially with cables. Not only do you leave with a complete knowledge of the skills she's taught you, but she also gives you a sense of confidence and can-do-ability that makes you want to knit even more adventurous things! I would thoroughly recommend her classes. (And have done, many times over.)

Danielle Ashworth 

Exceeding all my expectations!! What a wonderful evening, both in terms of the productivity (holy moly I did some cabling - and my craft skills are 0) and company (such a calming, relaxed & wholesome vibe). Natalie couldn’t have been any lovelier, phenomenal at explaining things and more of a knitting wizard. Can’t wait for my next session!

Learn to knit with Natalie Selles. This is the course that will teach you everything you will need to know to make your very own snood or scarf. The basics of knitting are very simple and easy to master, you'll be knitting away in no time. 
In the first week we will learn to cast on and the knit stitch. In the second week we will learn to purl stitch, how to combine them together to make different textures and how to finish your snood or scarf. These are the foundation skills needed for knitting and will set you up for and will set you up with the skills you will need for the rest of your new hobby!

I did the "learn to knit with Natalie", making a snood: Natalie was very friendly, explaining clearly and giving very helpful advice. 
I would definitely recommend her, and I look forward to working with her again!

Natalie is a great teacher, she is very patient and takes the time to make sure everyone has understood the instructions. I'm definitely going to book more courses with her!

I took Natalie's intro class, "Learn to Knit: Make a Snood or Scarf," and for the first time I've got the hang of knitting. Natalie was an enthusiastic, clear, and confident teacher, helping each student one-on-one when needed and walking us through the basics of both knitting and seeing and fixing common beginners' mistakes. I can't wait to take another class with her and build on what I've learned.

Natalie is a very good teacher and I feel very confident in knitting now - it was a really great start for a complete beginner and I have a scarf I absolutely love now. The venue isn’t fancy at all - take a bottle of water with you and don’t expect much but the class is well worth it!

Having failed to learn to knit before I was feeling a bit nervous about the 2-week crash course I'd signed up for. Natalie was the perfect person to put my mind at ease and show me the ropes - unflappable, patient, and funny to boot. A class size of 6 meant we could all progress at our own pace whilst being sure to end the course with something to show from it (for me a rather snazzy long scarf).

Natalie has a lovely way of sharing her knowledge, skills and passion in a clear, calm and entertaining way. It’s lovely that she provided vegan options for yarn and snacks! Looking forward to the next session 😊

Sarah Mill

Natalie is a brilliant teacher and I absolutely loved my first lesson. I couldn't recommend her class more! 

Rachel Mitchell

Natalie’s class is welcoming and informative. She expertly demystifies knitting and creates a friendly atmosphere filled with unexpected achievements! She is great at sharing her extensive knowledge, and accommodates different skills levels, learning styles and vegan yarn requirements with finesse.

Catherine Gleave

Natalie is a brilliant teacher and the course is perfect for a complete beginner.  I failed at learning knitting from my gran and so I didn't have high hopes in my ability to pick up the skill, but I was very pleasantly surprised - the basics are clearly explained, Natalie is patient and helpful and within no time I was able to get started. Can highly recommend!

Fair Isle Ornaments

Granny squares are a cornerstone of crochet, first recorded in the 1890s, and synonymous with the 1970s. These classic squares are most commonly found in blankets but can be used for bags, pillows and even clothing. A change in size, shape and colour combination can give give a modern look to an under appreciated technique. 

In this one day class we will cover the basics of crochet and master the granny square. We will work on chain stitch, double crochet stitch, slip stitch and joining the squares together. 

This class is suitable for absolute beginners as well as those with some experience.
