Knitting

Heidi | January 29, 2007

On the 20th of this month, I took a knitting class from This is Knit in the Blackrock weekend market.  There were about 8 women learning to knit and two instructors but I was the only absolute beginner.  We went up to the “meeting room” which was the upstairs of a pub.  We were supposed to meet until 12:00 but none of us left until 1:45 PM!  We just got into the groove and lost track of time.

If you are a knitter looking for people to knit with, there are a lot of groups meeting around the Dublin area and the Stitch N Bitch yahoo group site has a calendar so you can look for group meetings near you.  There are regular meetings in Bray, Swords, Rathmines, and city centre.

    Heidi,

    My wife recently died, she was an avid knitter and all round craft lover, she has left a lot of wool and materials, I would love to donate them to craft groups so that her passion can be passed on. If you or some one you know are interested please email me at nhead364@yahoo.com and let me know. I can arrange to have the materials delivered in the general Dublin area. It would be of comfort to me to know that Helen’s material was being used as intended. Thanks, Julian Hynes.
