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?
We’ve had some great news from Elaine Wigglesworth who still runs a class at Eastcote Community Centre on the third Friday of each month from 2.00 to 4.00 pm. Elaine was there back in the 90s and although numbers are much reduced, the group is still hanging on.
If you’ve ever wanted just to ‘make things’ then look no further than West Dean College’s new programme of Short Courses which runs to May 2010. The college is on the A286, six miles north of Chichester and six miles south of Midhurst and it offers an extensive choice of short courses for all levels of ability.
