I have recently taken up knitting/crochet again after almost 25 years of not considering it as anything worthwhile. I had forgotten how wonderful it feels to make something with my hands. The skill is slowly coming back, things I learnt in primary school are still with me somewhere deep. That was one of the best new discoveries I made upon embarking on this new-old journey.
Knitting is keeping me sane in tumultuous times and the brain is refreshed with the simple mathematical pattern finding exercises. I am now committed to enthuse about this new found almost meditative experience. The first step is this blog and the adjoining club.
If you are interested in knitting, creating beautiful things with your hands, working with well produced and ethically sourced materials then this is the club for you. You don’t need to know anything, just bring along two pointed needles, a small ball of yarn (preferably non-acrylic) and a warm persevering attitude.
We meet fortnightly at the Faulkner pub in Hoole. Every 1st and 3rd Monday at 7.00 pm. Do join us.
I have recently started knitting and would like to donate the toys I make to charity when they become good enough. I would love to join a knitting club that is during the evening as most of the ones I have seen are morning/early afternoon and I’m certain if we looked hard enough there would be a pub that served coffee and tea that wouldn’t mind us on say a Monday when they are generally quiet. How many people are in the club at the moment? And if I may ask why non-acrylic wool?
Hi Suzy,
What a lovely idea of donating the toys to charity. We are currently 3 members with 2 others who occasionally join us. You are right I am sure we can get a venue if we asked politely. A friend suggested a back room of a pub even?
We are meeting next on the 9th July. So perhaps you may want to join us then? I will keep you updated on the search for a venue.
Sorry just read this as I’ve been having computer problems. Would love to come along to the next one though. My e-mail address is s.cheetham@hotmail.com can you let me know where and when the next one is?
Thanks Suzy
We are ladies who really haven’t knitted since our grown up children were small, but have recently started to knit again. Is your group still going? We would like to come and join you some time
Hi Gill,
Indeed you are very welcome. We have our next meeting following Monday evening at 7.00pm in the Faulkner pub in Hoole.
Lovely website, so nice to know there are local clubs to us
