Knit Together!
In association with the Keep Yarn on our Streets campaign
Whisper it - I think that Christmas is finally on the way, and I can’t wait! It’s been a tough year for everyone, and I’m loving the chance to get out and explore new stores, looking for present inspiration - plus a few gifts for myself of course. This issue we’ve enjoyed exploring the yarn shops in Lanarkshire as well as Wild and Woolly in London and the gorgeous natural yarns at Romney Marsh Wools. We’ve also chatted to a woman who runs not one, but two friendly local knitting groups, plus two knitters who’ve spent the year making thousands of items for charity. If you’re inspired to knit for charity yourself, look at our pretty poinsettia design overleaf, and read about how you can help the RSPB. Please do tell us about any shop, club or charity recommendations you may have, and remember to send in your community stories and charity knit pics. We can’t wait to hear from you!
SAY HELLO!
