About Galway School of Knitting

Galway School of Knitting was founded by Niamh O'MĂ¡ille of O'Maille's, High St., Galway. Since she began teaching knitting classes in November 2008, Niamh has been amazed at how popular the knitting classes have been. Each pattern has been designed by Niamh for her new knitters and more experienced knitters. Reading patterns can be a daunting experience for many knitters so Niamh has simplified the patterns to ensure her knitters spend more time knitting rather than reading, pulling their hair out and ripping! The classes are very sociable and enjoyable and a relaxing and rewarding experience.

Niamh first learned to knit when she was 7 years old and has been addicted ever since! It was no surprise that she loved knitting, as her family's business is one of Ireland's longest established knitwear businesses in Ireland. From an early age she was surrounded by knitwear and has met some of the most talented knitters in Ireland who knit sweaters for the family business. Niamh has observed many of the knitters in her classes have become addicted to knitting too. Many now complain that they don't have time for housework or cooking and the famous line 'just one more row' is freqently expressed to partners and family!
