Knitting Group Members: Where are we all from?

[Guest]

In response to Turra's observation that the knitting group folk will soon be identifiable on the streets of Sheffield by the rash of Clapotis wearing, LisaH wondered whether most of us actually live outside Sheffield.

 

So, where do we all live? Do you have a Sheffield connection at all?

 

Poll to follow in a minute .

I live in Sheffield - moved here to do my degree in 1989 and stayed. Im originally from Dunstable in Bedfordshire:D

I was born in Sheffield, but left for uni in '92. I'm in Leicestershire at the moment, but I'd like to move back to Sheffield at some point. I still think of it as home.

 

I really should have added the option to identify who posted in the poll; the results will probably be skewed by a few non-knitting group folk posting. I can't edit it now, but I'll alter the thread title...

I'm from the Black Country by birth, but I came up here to Uni in 1988 and never went home again.

 

According to some people I qualify for my whippet and flat hat in 2 years as a naturalised Yorkshirewoman.

Yep I noticed that the knitting group appeared to have grown - either that or we have closet knitters out there who havent come out yet

I'm from Nottinghamshire, came to Sheffield 2 years ago for university. I'm not very attached to the place though and still see Notts as my home even though i have a lovely flat here in Sheffield. I can't see me staying around in Sheffield long when i've finished my degree.

 

Only thing is...i didn't knit a clapotis and i am in sheffield

Excellent - that must mean I have 3 years left to serve:D Saying that though Ive spent longer living in Sheffield than anywhere else and nearly half of my lifetime:o

What a shocking thing to admit to on the Sheffield Forum!

I didnt knit one either - think it was generally knitted by the outsiders

Or alternatively, by the ones with exquisite taste and style .
