The Knitters Thread

I haven't knitted in years but was given sock yarn/pattern/dpn's for Christmas and am hooked again:D I'm already planning on doing another pair but looking online for yarn it doesn't seem very MSE:eek: Is there anywhere I could get sub£5 yarn or is that impossible?

Many thanks

Hi shelley - do you send items out to hospitals across the UK, or is it just local to you? I'm going to post your link on a couple of other forums if that's ok with you?

shelley have you thought about posting on Freecycle or contacting local WI groups? They may be willing/glad tohelp. Or even local knitting groups?

do u have a yarn shop near you, may be cheaper than online, as no postage costs.

I need to buy the yarn and needles first but will try to do something. I have also emailed my mother as she is a super speedy knitter and am sure she would love to help.

Please feel free to post the link anywhere you would like :j

We send to hospitals throughout the UK at the moment we deal with approx 100 hospitals so we are doing well at the moment

Yeah i have been posting around and seeing what help we can get on freecycle but i am going to have a try with the WI and see what they can do for us

THANKS
