isobel & cleo

Have an old machine kicking about that you don’t know how to use??? Let us teach you what’s what and help you learn the basics of machine knitting on a vintage hand operated knitting machine. We will cover:

Class Outline:

• Tools 
• Casting On and off
• Increasing / Decreasing

We recommend a minimum of 3 classes to grasp the basics. 1 cone of yarn provided, participants must provide own machines and contact us BEFORE purchasing class to confirm their machine type. We recommend purchasing a phone tripod for these lessons. We can provide these for an additional $25.

We do travel for workshops and provide in person lessons at our studio. Please inquire for availability.

Knit yourself a beautiful, chunky scarf while you're working from home. This extra long and cozy scarf is easy enough to knit over a weekend if you feel so inspired.
