Project
A project yarn pack will be available for you to work through during the holiday. In the past, most workshop participants do choose to work on the project, but it is not compulsory. Debbie is more than happy if you would prefer to bring your own WIP and work on that instead.
The Workshops
Debbie will hold four scheduled workshops during the holiday, beginning on the first evening with an introduction to the project while enjoying a complimentary drink of your choice in the Firth Lounge. The first workshop will then begin on the following morning. Debbie has a long history of teaching knitting and relishes the opportunity to pass on new skills to eager learners. So, as well as brushing up on existing skills, you may learn a new technique too! Debbie will design a small project for you to work on over the course of the workshop and will be on hand to guide you through all the techniques.
