OMG! I have this burning desire to learn to....

knit

I cant find anyone who would tech me. I was even contemplating going in the knitting shop and asking if they will teach me!

tinker, my brian is permanently on holiday so may have done something super-thick so do forgive me!

You are forgiven

oi you two stop ignoring me! Tinker did you find a enamel coffee pot in the end?

Oh, you've just reminded me - need to contact Minkimum! See, I forget to reply to emails as well. But, yes, think I have

Fio, the only C&H that I know of is in Maidstone.

fio, that's terrific news. i spent £100 on wool alone last month in john lewis...came out feeling all tingly

Wow - been thinking about this for ages - and now I will have to go and spend afternoons in JL at Bluewater!!

DP said it would be good for me to have something to do not to start smoking again when Max is born and I can knit him lots of blankets - think that will be all I will be capeable of!!

twinks, i have a lovely blanket pattern too...!!!

Twinkie, if I were you I would not do a blanket because it would take ages! Little baby cardies take hardly any time because they are so small! I have the Debbie Bliss Beginners Knits book which has some really basic things in it + instructions on how to cast on/off, inc and dec - basic stuff like that. You can knit a little baby hat and a jumper in hardly any time at all.
