Dear Anne
I live in Spalding, Lincolnshire and I’m expecting to move to the Stamford area when the house sells. I’m returning to machine knitting after 20 years, only dabbled with the basics even then. I am looking for a machine knitting club near either area. I would be grateful if any one could let me know if there are any available. After a break of 20 years, your magazine has helped me to start knitting again. I was not very experienced at that time either, but with children grown up I can now spend more time on my hobbies.
Hi Anne
I wonder if any of your readers come from the Dewsbury area of West Yorkshire as I would like to contact other knitters locally.
Hello Anne
I’m a new comer to your magazine and I’ve only had two, but love them up to now. You can’t imagine how disappointed I was to see I’d just missed the Rochdale show. I don’t live far from where it was held, so my question is to wonder how I’ll find a club around the Oldham and Manchester area.
Hi Anne
Big problems! I’ve had my knitting machine for a number of years and decided to bring it down from the loft, give it a good clean and check it out. After replacing the retaining bar and some needles, it has been working fine. I got a second hand ribber for it and I can’t keep the knitting on the machine. Either the stitches drop off the needles and I cant see them till its too late or the knitting gets caught on the gate pegs. I’ve not had a ribber before and I’ve followed all the instructions that I’ve been given.
Glenys Taylor had no luck finding a local club so she’s hoping to start her own. She’s found a couple of local enthusiasts and both of them would like to join her. She wonders if any existing clubs could pass on some tips or advice?
