Welome to this the first of our blogs! I am Anne and I have set up a Knitting and Crocheting group in the Isle of Axholme well truthfull I have set up TWO!! It all started with a chance remark by a friend of mine Helen who said "Wouldn't it be great if there was a knitting group" and hey presto Isle Knit was born.
We have been running since October 2011 and is going from strength to strength, we have members of all skills and abilities. We knit anything from hats and scarves to jumpers and socks.
I mentioned earlier that one group wasn't enough so I run another one called Isle Knit 2. Isle Knit meets every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month at Grannie Annies Coffee Shop from 7pm to 8.30pm and Isle Knit 2 meets on the 1st Wednesday of each month at the Village Hall from 6.30pm to 8pm.
A typical meeting of either group starts with everyone catching up with what has happened since the last group meeting. There's plentey of laughter as well as teaching at the meetings as the more experienced members of the group share the skills and tips with the newer knitters. We are even in Issue 90 March 2012 of Simply Knitting!
Happy knitting until next time
Anne
