Workshop Sock Knitting  - VHS Weilheim, Germany

October 22 & November 26, 2026

Have you always wanted to knit your very first pair of socks? In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of sock knitting step by step in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. No previous sock knitting experience is required.

Together, we'll knit a classic top-down sock, starting at the cuff and working towards the toe. Along the way, you'll learn all the essential techniques, including casting on, knitting in the round, creating a stretchy cuff, shaping the heel, and finishing the toe. You'll also receive practical advice on choosing the right yarn, needles, and achieving a comfortable fit.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to continue knitting socks on your own—and you'll likely have already started your very first pair. 

Registration open soon

The Knit & Coffee Atelier - Munich, Germany

November 2026

This November, a new format arrives in Munich.

The Knit & Coffee Atelier is a quietly curated gathering that brings together knitting, atmosphere and a conscious sense of time. Set within a carefully chosen café environment in the heart of the city, the experience invites you to slow down, to create, and to reconnect with the rhythm of making.

Rather than a traditional workshop, the atelier is designed as a gentle, shared moment — shaped by texture, material and the calm presence of working with your hands. A small group, a refined setting, and space to immerse yourself in a creative practice that is both grounding and quietly inspiring.

Further details on date and location will follow soon.

If you would like to be the first to receive updates and early access, you are warmly invited to join the waiting list.
