RE: [knitlincs] worsted wool

You are kind! I wouldn't mind setting something up myself, but my knitting
is VERY basic!
Still ... the company is more important to me ...

Tracey,

I'll ask around and see if I can find a group that meets closer to
Grantham but yes, feel free to post on here to see if anyone is more you way
on. Lincolnshire is such a huge county that its rather a large scope for one
group. I'd love one closer to here but can't seem to find any knitters!!
Nic

Hi Nicola,Thank you so much for you amazingly quick and
oh-so-easy-to-understandreply!I live just outside Grantham, so driving to
Lincoln would be a bit of adistance for me, especially when my husband works
all the time and is notoverly helpful with my little one!I wonder if anyone
would want to set up something this way? There must besomeone who wants to
meet up a bit nearer me ...Trace.-----Original Message-----From:

RE: [knitlincs] worsted woolHi Tracey,Welcome to the group. We're really not
that scary so feel free to postaway. Its so quiet on here at the
moment.Worsted weight is aran or maybe even a bit lighter than, between
doubleknit and aran. I would use aran because especially for a bag, it
wouldn'tmatter if the gauge was a little bit off. What is the name of the
yarn itrecommends to use? I have made a couple of felted bags out of noro
kureyon.Lots of the american bag patterns use cascade 220 and that is
available atGet Knitted now. I've ordered from them before and they are
really good.They are based in Bristol and their website is
www.getknitted.comWhere do you live? I drive into Lincoln from between Louth
and Grimsby soits a bit of a hike but there aren't any groups closer so I
don't mind thedrive really and it gives me an excuse to have an afternoon to
myself and doa bit of shopping while I'm
there.Nic__________________________________________________________Who's
