If you have ever wanted to knit yourself an Aran sweater you'll learn what's involved and how to get started in this taster session. It's a wonderful traditional craft that we are inn danger of losing as we can buy ready made garments in any number of shops for a fraction of the cost. But there's nothing like the sense of satisfaction from making your own sweater from good quality wool sourced here in Ireland.  Knitting is good for the soul, it's meditative, and calming, and learning the different patterns and stitches is actually good for the brain. You'll have a great send of achievement if you manage to tackle a project like this plus a unique piece of clothing that will last you for years.  Join Mary Burnham for our taster session where you'll have a go at knitting the humble scarf using the blackberry stitch, moss stitch, plus a 9 stitch cable. This event is funded by the Skills For Life Initiative 

What you need to bring: 

•  A set of needles (no particular size), 
• 1 Cable needle
• A ball of Aran wool 
• any Aran patterns you may have to discuss how to progress with your knitting project, and a notebook which will come in very handy.
