Ah, it was me this thursday as I was finishing a christmas present. And as I've got a few more things to do (and less than 3 weeks to do them in - help!) I shall no doubt be there next thursday, needles, and beer, in hand.
If you pop down Becky B, come and say hello. I tried a few years ago to start a knitting group in there (pre no-smoking ban but they had a good no smoking section). But no-one turned up! So please do feel free to bring your needles along. And that goes for you too Taxman!
