Learn to knit/crochet in or around Maidenhead?

MrsExcited

Hiya,

I would really love to learn how to knit and/or crochet.

Do any of you know of somewhere around Maidenhead that I can learn?

Thanks in advance.

(I am not from Maidenhead - so I have no idea of classes, but just thought I would let you know that I learned the basics of how to knit from a leaflet at Hobbycraft. It showed me how to cast on and off and do a basic knit and pearl stitch. Hope that helps in some small way. The leaflet is free, and are usually located near the tills, with various other "how to.." leaflets.)

How about YouTube? I taught myself to crochet using videos from here and a 'basics' book.

Ask in your local library, your local wool shop, your local craft shop. That's assuming you have any/all of the above! Our local library has a fact file of local clubs & organisations

You could also ask you local newspaper if they feature any knitting groups- they often have local contacts who send in reports for the paper.

Failing that- a library book or Youtube!

Maidenhead library has a knitting group which started earlier this year - I think it is on a Wednesday afternoon in the library.
There is also a wool shop called The Pincushion nr St Marks Hospital.
