  1. Hi, Just wanted to let everyone know that Sheffield Knitters will now meet at Costa Coffee, Waterstones, Orchard Square Sheffield on Saturdays between 10am & 11.30am. This is a 6 week trial to see what the response is with the hope that we can then extend the length of the meeting. As a result the Thursday evening meeting is suspended for 6 weeks. Please pass this onto people who you think might be interested. If anyone has any questions please contact me via email or on 07789 110280. Best wishes, Cheryl K
  2. Hi Kelibobs Not sure if you've started going to a knitting group yet but Sheffield Knitters starts its groups again on Wednesday 2nd January if you're still interested. We meet on Wednesdays between 11am & 1pm and on Thursday between 4.30 & 6.30pm. Give us a call on 07789 110280 or 07586 305598 if you need any further details. Best wishes, Cheryl K
  3. Hi Natalie, I've just sent a post to Claiiree about our opening times and venue but just to recap; Premier Inn, Angel Street, Sheffield on Wednesdays 11am-1pm and Thursdays 4.30-6.30pm. Please feel free to contact us for further information on either 07789 110280 or 07586 305595. Best wishes, Cheryl K
  4. Hi, We meet at Premier Inn, Angel Street, Sheffield on Wednesday 11am-1pm and Thursday 4.30-6.30pm. The Thursday meeting can tend to run over a bit but always give us a call if you're going to be late just to make sure. You can call either 07789 110280 or 07586 305598. The next meeting is on Wednesday 2nd January at 11am. The group is free to use and is open to anyone over 18 years old. It doesn't matter how long you've been knitting for (or not) as there is usually someone there who can help with any problems you have. Hope to see you soon, Best wishes, Cheryl K
  5. Hi all, I have been contacted by a lady who has no sewing experience and needs some help making blankets and simple garments for children's charities. Ideally she would like to sit next to someone and watch them then have a go herself. If you can help please contact Josepha at email reginaelison@aol.com Please note that Sheffield Knitters are only signposting this lady to other possible sources of help so if any messages are sent regarding this thread they will be forwarded directly to her. Many thanks for all your help, Best wishes, Cheryl K Sheffield Knitters
  6. Hiya If you're looking to join a knitting group check out the sticky at the top of the main page - there are literally dozens of them! Good luck with your new scarf! Cheryl Sheffield Knitters
  7. Hi Darren You would be most welcome to come along to Sheffield Knitters. We have 2 groups at the moment; Wednesday 11am-1pm and Thursday 4.30-6.30pm although the Thursday group often runs over sometimes as late as 8pm so give us a call or text before if you decide to come to that one. We have had several people come along and learn not only how to knit but also how to crochet so beginners are always welcome. Both the groups are small and friendly and any newcomers are always welcome. Good luck!! Cheryl Sheffield Knitters
  8. Yes you can come anytime after 4.30 and we're often there well after 6.30 but you'd be best contacting us if you're going to be coming after 6. Come along and have some relaxing "me time" after work - you'll be warmly welcomed. Cheryl Sheffield Knitters
  9. Another brill site is http://www.abakhan.co.uk They have polar fleece in their catalogue which I think is what you're referring to? They have masses of stuff so the website alone is worth a look Regards, Cheryl
  10. Hiya all, I've checked with John Lewis who tell me that Knitting In Public Day in Sheffield will be Saturday 9th June. I'm still waiting to hear back as to what JL are doing for the day but I suspect it will be the same as last year; sitting in a circle outside their store for most of the day and spreading the word about the wonderful world of knitting Hope this helps, Cheryl K Sheffield Knitters
  11. I do know that there is parking available for blue badge holders at the back of the markets which is a straight line walk of about 5 minutes from the hotel but other than I don't know. I'm not a driver so I can't help straight away on that but leave it with me and I'll find out for you. I'll get back to you later today, Sorry Regards, Cheryl K Sheffield Knitters
  12. Yes it's every Wednesday - people sometimes stay on and have lunch afterwards so it's quite a social group. There's also a group on Thursdays 4.30pm - 6.30pm. If you're looking at going to the Thursday group it might be an idea to give me a call or text to check the exact timings as we sometimes go on past 6.30pm. This group is the smaller of the two groups at the moment as it's only been running a few weeks. Hope this helps, Keep happy - keep knitting! Regards, Cheryl K Sheffield Knitters
  13. Don't know anything about this year but last year's was held outside of John Lewis' and there were a lot of people there from John Lewis. Perhaps Bev from the Haberdashery Dept. of John Lewis may know more. If anyone finds out the where and when could they let us know as this is something that we are keen to take part in. Cheryl K Sheffield Knitters
  14. Hi Oggi So far we've only ever had hand knitters but I can't see any problem with you coming along. The only issues would be a)the size of your machine and b)access to electrical sockets. I hope I've sort of answered your question but if you want to give me a call we could perhaps try to work something out? The group mobile is 07789 110280. Have a good day and happy knitting. Cheryl K Sheffield Knitters
  15. Hi Moonfire & Hecate, Thanks for your help with this and for your kind wishes, Kindest regards Cheryl Sheffield Knitters
