I am limited to hobbycraft locally, who have patterns, but no longer stock the yarn, or have the yarn, but no bloody patterns and the bins of yarn are always a mixed mush of different lot nos so you can't get all the balls you need . There is a fab mill shop in the next town, but it isn't always convenient for me to get there as it is right in the middle of a city centre and the traffic scares the pants off me
I joined ravelry a while ago and I also subscribe to knitting daily, but have no idea where to get the yarns for some of the patterns and the patterns themselves scare me with their American terminology and needle sizes and lengths of yarn as opposed to wieghts; it's like a foreign language.
Why do they do things soooo much better for knitters on the other side of the pond and what happened to the UK yarn industry? We used to be a nation of knitters with at least one wool shop on every high street?
Oh, my word that wasn't meant to turn into a rant.....
