Simply Knitting

Knit Together!

Welcome to our round-up of highlights from our inspiring knitting community this month! We begin with our knitter’s guide to the Royal county of Berkshire (right) – not only does the Queen live here, but there are plenty of yarny shopping opportunities too! If you’re out and about check out local yarn shops in bustling market towns or – if you’re in Suffolk – pop into yarn store Popcraft for a browse. We also talk to Lucy McCarthy from a Knit and Natter group in Canberra, and Rachael from Cat and Sparrow. If you fancy knitting for a good cause, find out more about these two brilliant charities – Mary’s Meals (page 74) and made4aid (page 75), and how you can get involved. There’s also a copyright-free cowl pattern to get you started! Don’t forget to tell us about your latest club or charity news, and remember to send in your community stories and pictures.

SAY HELLO!
