Spinning

Can anyone tell me if there is a UK based group for spinners? I have found
many that are US based and are really terrific but I would like to find a
local one as well. Anyone any ideas?

Many thanks

Cher in this group will contact you I am sure

Many thanks. I had heard that Cher had formed a group but didn't know
where to look. Are there many spinners in the RCTY?

Not sure how many but there are a few of us

BTW Welcome))) We are a friendly lot in here and everyone is very
helpful) In fact I would say this is the nicest group on the net

I have lurked here for a few years. I tend to come and go!!! Then there
are so many posts I can't keep up. You are definitely a friendly and caring
group.
I am a knitter first and started as a kid about 3 or 4 as I couldn't walk
too well and knit my first cardi for starting school. I then (joy oh joy!!)
discovered spinning a few years ago and have loads of spun yarn but can't
bring myself to knit the really nice stuff as it may not look so good when
knit!!!!
Found a beautiful book called Dazzling Knits and may try something out of
it. The yarns used are similar to some that I have spun.
Nice to talk to you

remember correctly you have university kids??? Could be so wrong
though.......

Believe it or not the sun is actually shining today!!! I had forgotten
what it looked like.

No my kids are finished with all that and are up and away) I have a
grandson though (the light of my life) Unfortunately they live in
Germany so I don't see enough of them although we talk every day. It
used to cost a fortune until we got Skype (software) So I use it to
chat to all the kids now ... free!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were talking about Skype today on Working Lunch on BBC2.

Must have mixed you up with someone else from Scotland. We are getting a
watery looking excuse for a sun at the this precise moment!! Well any sun
is better than.....

All the best
