Home Decor: Placemat Workshop

Never dabbled in handmade home decor? No prob! These placemats really are as simple as can be.

Experience Required: A bit. You may need to brush up a tiny bit on casting on and knit/purl.

Here’s how to learn to create a new placemat setting in 3 easy steps:

1. Choose your yarn color
2. Join a workshop to craft, chat & create community
3. Earn your bragging rights: because nothing beats the joy of saying "I made it myself!"

This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to knit and create something practical for their home. We'll be making simple placemats that are perfect for adding a pop of color to your dining table or using as a base for decorative centerpieces. Since this is a beginner workshop, we'll focus on the basics of knitting and will not require any previous experience. We'll provide plenty of guidance and support to help you feel confident as you create your first placemat. And since it's so easy to make, you might just find yourself wanting to knit a whole set for your dining table!

Think of the workshop as being a placemat party where each one created can bring a splash of style to every table, one stitch at a time… because life's way too short for dull decor.

Workshop includes yarn, knitting needles and a beverage.

Please note that we will always do our best to accommodate your yarn color selections, but sometimes these things get tricky (delivery issues and out of stock situations) so we ask you to please be understanding, especially if you are signing up for a workshop within 72 hours of the scheduled day.

Note: Crafters may not finish their purse within the two-hour session. Don’t worry! You have options to complete your project:

1. Join us for another Evening Purse workshop, held most Tuesdays from 1-3pm. Just email info@thecraftylounge.com in advance to let us know you're coming back.

2. Book a Crafty Clinic session for personalized guidance to help you finish your project either in person or via Zoom.

3. Sign up for a Crafty Connections session. It’s another opportunity to mingle, make, and meet fellow craft enthusiasts. You bring along your work in progress. Crafty Connections sessions are like a crafting book club – but with needles, hooks, and plenty of yarn!
