Learn to Knit Workshop for Adults

To celebrate World Wide Knit in Public day, we are hosting a workshop for adults to learn how to knit. Run by Fluff and Nonsense’s very own Tess Vandekolk.

Have you always wanted to learn how to knit, but you aren’t sure where to start? Come and learn the basics in a supportive and fun environment. You will learn how to cast on, to knit and purl stitches, and how to cast off, all while making a cute coaster to use under your favourite mugs. 

All materials provided.

About the artist: 

I started Fluff and Nonsense in 2022 as a side project while working in an academic lab, simply to bring more joy into my life. What began as exploring colour and texture in wool grew into designing knitting patterns and eventually teaching.

I love connecting with you and being part of your creative journey—sharing techniques, tips, and ideas to help you get the most out of your projects. My teaching approach is grounded in kindness and the understanding that everyone learns differently. My goal is for you to leave feeling confident, empowered, and supported with skills you can carry forward.

My favourite things (in no particular order) are: cats, my husband, Whittaker’s chocolate, Tea, Midsomer Murders and The Great British Bake Off. And puns.
