  1. Thanks, but I'm looking for someone to make to whatever pattern I like to fit - I'm not a standard size. Looking for everything from skirts to suits/jackets. ---------- Post added 07-12-2012 at 10:19 ---------- Thanks, I'll contact them and see what they say. ---------- Post added 07-12-2012 at 10:20 ---------- I'll phone this one too, get some idea of costs and what they do.
  2. Anyone know where I can find a good dressmaker - anywhere in Sheffield or surrounding areas - to make everyday clothes. I can only find recommendations for bridal and formal wear. I have loads of nice fabrics but no-one to make them up for me.
  3. I second this. He's just done a great job repairing my kitchen at a very reasonable price. Definitely one to use. Contact is 07747 026254.
  4. Just seen a thread that recommends Running with Scissors in Sheffield for basic knitting courses. They teach cast on and off, knit and purl and you do a small project to take home. Look them up on the net.
  5. John Lewis has a free group. Last Wednesday in the month from 5.30 to 7.30. Groups, however, aren't really designed to teach you to knit - though members are happy to give advice and help. You really need either a beginners course - John Lewis sometimes run them - or a good book, youtube video etc. There are several other groups in Sheffield where you can meet other knitters, really depends in which area you want to be.
  6. Thanks I'll check them both out before deciding.
  7. These are stunning. I too thought the first one was real. Liz
  8. Just joined Ravelry. I'm elliejellybean on there. Liz
  9. I've been knitting - on and off - for a long time, but recent mags I've bought seem to reference a lot of new methods of casting on/off, finishing etc. Can anyone recommend a good book which will cover this sort of thing. Also blocking - something I've never done, but as I'm starting to knit lace it seems I need to learn how to do it properly.
  10. I second Ann's recommendation. This is a wonderful shop with great staff. Check it out. Liz
