Knitting evenings
Weekly Beginners Knitting Group
As the dark evenings linger, get out of the house, pick up some needles, learn a new skill, and enjoy good company at our Weekly Beginners Knitting Group, meeting every Tuesday at 7pm from Jan 13th.
It will be a “stitch and bitch” / “knit and natter” kind of evening.
Bring your curiosity and most importantly a sense of humour.
Venue: The Green Goddess pub

There’s no course fee. The cost is:
Basic needles and wool ( I have Drops snow - £2 per ball, Sirdar 8mm / US 11 needles £3.50).
