Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Surely I’m not the only one in the Dundee area who knits.  Does anyone know of/want to form a knitting group...please, I need another excuse to indulge myself.

I’m the only one in Aberdeen, here, but I’ve just discovered there’s a group that meets in the Belmont cinema. I may take my sock and go!

Have you tried putting knitting groups into google?

You could always start your own group as there are probably other young mums in the same predicament. Nell has just joined from Montrose, maybe you could try a meeting halfway at Arbroath?

Borders books often has knitnights , have you a Borders near you?

the aberdeen crowd sound great

I use the one on Albert Street called the Knitting Pin - it’s only a wee shop quite near the top, in between Park Avenue and Cardean Street if that helps, but it is packed with stuff - they’ve got everything from bargain wool to expensive stuff, and the couple who run it , Moira and Raymond, are great with any queries you have.  Hope you have a good time when you’re here
