Thursday Night is Knit Night!


Every other Thursday we have a knit night running at Create from 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm. As you can see from the photos the wine is out! There is a bit of knitting, a lot of chatter and some good advice on hand - not all from me - luckily we have some really good knitters amongst our regulars (Sherry and Jacqueline have helped me along loads). We have every level of knitter so anyone is welcome and we have lots of space to fit more in! Our next night is this Thursday, 8th October.
Thank you so much to Pam for bringing us all some of her fantastic plum jam to our last knit night! She inspired me to have a go at jam making this year and our (have to say 'our' because my husband and daughter actually made most of it, I was just left to clear up) bramble and apple jam was a huge success. Success meaning we got our fussy eater daughter to eat it and enjoy it.


The above photo is of some of the socks knitted on our sock knitting course with Sherry. The course was run over 3 evenings, a week apart, to allow time to get to the next stage of the sock.
The group did amazingly well and some got a pair knitted! We are now onto the Shawl Class with Sherry which Miranda and I are taking - boy is it complicated. Not sure if Sherry is going to give us a gold star for our homework efforts!! I have already pulled mine back once. But really enjoying it as its pushing me out of my comfort zone.
I am writing this with the voice of Debbie Abrahams in the background. We have a full class for her Fairisle and Intarsia Course which is running today. We seem to be really busy with courses which is just fantastic. We have Emma King in next week (Monday) for Professional Finishing. There is one place left so if you fancy it please give us a call on 01943 817788.
