Cast On and Bind Off Workshop 1st August 2026

I am really pleased to be running a day of workshops taught by Nessa Hubbard, an experienced knitter with a degree in Textile Design who love's to share her skills and encourage others to experiment with yarn and needles. Join us for a single workshop or book both and save £10.

Give your knitting the polished edges it deserves! In this technique-focused workshop, you’ll learn a selection of cast on and bind off methods that give your projects the right start and finish — whether you're aiming for stretch, structure, or style.

We’ll cover:

• Cast On Techniques
  
  
  • Knit cast on
  • Long tail
  • Backward loop
  • Provisional
  • Tubular

• Bind Off Techniques
  
  
  • Standard (knit) bind off
  • Stretchy
  • Sewn
  • I-cord

If time allows, we’ll also look at a few bonus techniques to boost your confidence and flexibility. You’ll leave with a set of swatches, a printed reference sheet, and the knowledge to match your edges to your project with confidence. 

• All yarn and materials for technique samples
• Printed guide to each cast on and bind off
• Expert tuition in a relaxed small-group setting 

Time: 10.30am til 1pm

Location: Skein Queen Studio, 6 Langley Business Court, World's End, Beedon, Newbury RG20 8RY
