A sampler cushion pattern will be provided and started on the day. This workshop covers a variety of techniques such as cables, bobbles and knitting with beads. The main aim of the course is to experiment and gain confidence with new techniques. The day will be spent working through four squares; one with cables, one with bobbles, one with lace and one with beads. The four squares will then be joined together to make the front panel of your cushion. Rather than all four techniques you will be able to mix and match one or two techniques of your choice if you prefer.
