I started a knit & natter coffee morning, 10am until 12 noon every 2nd and last Thursday of the month, first ‘meeting’ arrived and 1 person turned up, great, word of mouth will surely mean more next time, apparently not, here I am at 10:40am knitting alone

Photos of my first knitting pattern for my MA which will be released soon.

When you buy patterns are you influenced by the colours /yarn used?

I’m a complete beginner at crocheting. Over the last four years, I’ve watched my mom crochet so many cardigans and blankets for my daughter, and thanks to her I know a few basic stitches. I’ve always wanted to learn how to crochet and knit—my grandma was amazing at it—so I finally decided to take the plunge. I’m starting my journey by trying to crochet a cardigan for my 4½-year-old daughter. Wish me luck!
