Hi I’m Amber, a knitwear designer and published author teaching online machine knitting workshops
Online machine knitting workshops
**Learn how to machine knit in your own time at your own pace, with videos to keep forever. I have six machine knitting workshops available starting with the basics, to more intermediate ribbing, intarsia and jumper making. These are brilliant for complete beginners to intermediates!**
My remaining stock is now with my two lovely stockists- Studio Ashay in Frome & Small Folk in Totnes. Perfect for keeping out Spring chills!
