June Knitting Workshop – Brae Winds Blanket

Our June workshop project features the Brae Winds Knitted Blanket, designed by Jenny Graham of Lily Lake Knitting Patterns. This beautifully textured blanket design draws inspiration from movement, rhythm and landscape, using thoughtful stitch patterns to create depth and visual interest. It is a satisfying knitting project for makers who enjoy structure, repetition and watching texture emerge row by row in a supportive, welcoming yarn shop environment in Samford, Brisbane.

This booking includes two scheduled workshop sessions held in June, providing a total of five hours of guided, in-person instruction. Participants receive expert guidance, hands-on learning and troubleshooting support across both sessions.

What’s Included

• 5 hours of in-person workshop time per project
• Initial Workshop (3 hours): Learn key techniques and get started with guided support
• Progress Gathering (2 hours): Mid-month session for extra help, tips and troubleshooting
• Expert guidance on every step of your project
