<p style="text-align: left;">Amra Hurley, a Freelance makeup artist from East London, started coming to our knitting <a href="https://www.stitchandstory.com/pages/beginner-workshops" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">workshops</a>** back in April 2016, having previously met Jenny and Jen at a knitting show. Amra had just learnt to knit at her workplace and wanted somewhere she could continue her passion. She loved Stitch & Story's easy to follow patterns and beautiful merino yarn and decided to join the knitting workshops. Amra started on easy patterns such as <a href="https://www.stitchandstory.com/collections/knitkits/scarves" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">scarves</a> and <a href="https://www.stitchandstory.com/collections/knitkits/hats" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hats</a> before venturing into almost the entire collection as she grew in confidence knitting <a href="https://www.stitchandstory.com/collections/knitkits/homeware" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">throws</a>, <a href="https://www.stitchandstory.com/collections/knitkits/homeware" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cushion covers</a> and <a href="https://www.stitchandstory.com/collections/knitkits/sweaters" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sweaters</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>I never really knew how to knit until I joined a knitting club at work a few years ago. I was having a difficult time personally and knitting gave me a chance to escape and to be creative and have fun!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Meeting Jen and Jen, joining their workshops and following their patterns has made knitting a lot easier than the traditional patterns available out there and they have made knitting trendy again! Knitting has added personal moments which I can share with family and friends such as knitting a baby blanket for the birth of my nephew and sending relatives headbands and hats to Germany and Australia. Stitch & Story has made me fall in love with knitting, Jen and Jen are my knitting family now, can’t wait to see what they do next and for me to keep knitting! </em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Amra still regularly attends Stitch & Story workshops and has progressed onto new projects.</p>
