Tuesdays knit & natter
We keep getting requests for a Knit & knatter group ....so we're starting one !! We have contacted Nurseries Direct Garden Centre & they are more than happy for us to 'descend ' on them on a Tuesday morning between 10.00am - 11.30am (obviously you can stay the full session or pop in & out !!) We'll meet in the coffee shop so you can grab yourselves a coffee & scone or cake ( or both !) & bring your current project along with you or wait & see if your'e inspired by what others bring along !!
It's for all levels so even if your'e a total beginner we can get you started
i'm also going to give those who come along a card that will give them 10 % off yarn purchases at the shop so if you could spread the word & grab any interested friends we'll hopefully see you there
