To save me wading through my PM box, I'm posting this here.

Thanks for all your messages. I'm in the middle of compiling a list from your suggestions of possible topics. I'm just waiting to find out when we have the go-ahead.

In the mean time, if you could think of any recommendations for useful web sites (eg. shops, pattern sources, blogs), books and (non-internet) shops so that we can have a running start at setting up an online knitting information resource, that would be great.

I'm not a knitting expert by any stretch of the imagination, but if anyone has any knitting-related problems, go ahead and post them on the forum; they might get sorted out. There's already been one success!

Thanks for the help you gave me on the wool and kntting websites. I wouldn't have known where to start on my own. Can't wait for the group to be up and started.

thanks again
