Architectural Textures Knitting Weekend

Begin the weekend by exploring how architectural details can be translated into knitted texture, starting with one of the most accessible squares from Georgia’s 'A Built World Knit Along'. The design uses simple knit and purl combinations to create striking surface patterns, inspired by a building in Georgia’s favourite city, Rotterdam.

In the afternoon, we travel to New York City for a more intricate square featuring travelling cables and slip stitches. This design introduces new ways of creating texture in your knitting, echoing the lines and forms of the building that inspired it. Throughout the day, Georgia will talk you through the patterns, techniques, and design inspiration behind each square. If you are a speedy knitter, personalise your project by selecting additional squares from the collection, there are plenty more to choose from!

We continue our architectural journey with a brand-new design created especially for this weekend, inspired by the striking geometry of Moorgate station on the Elizabeth line in London. This square features double-wrapped travelling cables recreating the strong angular lines of the station’s design.

In the afternoon, continue working on any squares already in progress or join Georgia for another architectural stop in Beijing, knitting a geometric diamond pattern inspired by a building Georgia spotted from a car window while travelling through the city. Again, there will be flexibility to work at your own pace. If you are a speedy knitter, you can explore additional squares from the collection to create your unique cushion front.

Following the workshop, depart the hotel and make your own way home.
