Kym was very patient and a great teacher - my first attempt was sooo tight I could hardly move the stitches on the needles!! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SlksnBMASn4/Ty6DU0g8Z0I/AAAAAAAAABU/ac-Tb5d0iFo/s1600/050212_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SlksnBMASn4/Ty6DU0g8Z0I/AAAAAAAAABU/ac-Tb5d0iFo/s320/050212_04.jpg" width="240px" />&nbsp;</a></div><br /><br />I've been addicted ever since!&nbsp; Hopefully my knitting has moved on since then.&nbsp; Kym certainly has and now runs <a href="http://www.treaclewoolshop.co.uk/" target="_blank">Treacle Wool Shop</a> in Morpeth, Northumberland - I defy you to visit without buying anything!!&nbsp; Come along to their knit2gether the first Wednesday of the month I'll see yoiu there!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6237421465400088262-5699228470630405227?l=rockpooldesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Su Boydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00231263311211639298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237421465400088262.post-74713650617432842222012-02-05T10:09:00.000-08:002012-02-05T10:16:36.221-08:00We are so lucky to live on the beautiful Northumberland Coast and it gives me my inspiration.
