Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

I’m in Tonbridge in Kent.  I always think we’re lucky here, surrounded by lovely green Kentish countryside and the best English strawberries but still only 40 mins by train into London or 40 mins drive from the coast.

Unfortunately the only thing we really lack is a proper wool shop.  I miss choosing yarns by looking and touching.

I know March a wee bit but my deliveries where Cambridge itself, Ely and Wisbech. My Son in Law is from Wisbech. The Cambridge and Norfolk, Suffolk area was one that I did on a regular basis.

Nice to know someone knows March,My brother lives in Cambridge,my mum lives in Soham near Ely and my son went to a school in wisbech.

YES, just remember to PURL every wrong side row. In cicular knitting you keep on knit stitching garter st but the two pins need knit one row, purl the next row. unless you want all garter st....then just keep knitting garter st on every row.
HAPPY KNITTING. 

Hi Gill1946
