New, cute, and perhaps crazy knitting for winter

Cover of Mini knitted woodlandI get together with some friends fortnightly in an informal weekly craft group, or "stitch and bitch" as one participant calls it. The cosy surroundings and good chat lends itself well to trying new things and meeting new people. It's interesting to see what crafts people are into and at what level of skill they're at.

Whether you are a group knitter or solo, here are some of the unusual titles I have seen in our libraries recently

You'll find more knitting titles in our collection, as well as titles published in 2014 & 2015.

World Book Craft Corner has access to thousands of engaging projects suitable for a broad spectrum of hobbyists - from beginner to expert, for children and adults.

CINCH, our community directory, lists local knitting groups and a variety of handicrafting groups that you could join.

Often we are looking for time out from our busy lives to do something just for ourselves. Consider starting your own knitting group with your friends. No experience necessary.
