I Knit - WaterlooThe I Knit store offers three evening beginners' knitting classes on a Tuesday night for £65; and three evening beginners' crochet classes.

Stitch London event

Just sign up for their newsletters to find out when they're holding their next one, sign up for it, bring along your "woolly weapons" and you'll be taught by one Stitch's volunteer knitters. They're completely free but a drink and a slice of cake to say thanks to your teacher is not discouraged.
