Venue: The Knitting Hotel, Dawlish, UK

I always have such a giggle teaching at The Knitting Hotel and this is the first of two visits back there this year.

Belinda Harris-Reid and Brenda Watson hold space for everyone when hosting events in this boughie knit-focused hotel. What's more the location is truly stunning.

During this 2 day Learnaway I'll guide you through the techniques needed to knit one of my designs and talk about my inspiration behind Beaded Colourwork, my new book of designs due to be published by Laine later this month.
