Knitting and Crochet

Helen Hughes

Knitting is cool again thanks to TV programmes such as Channel 4's "Kirstie's Handmade Christmas" featuring Kirstie Allsopp.

So if you want to be part of this revival, or teach someone else to knit, I've got a selection of knitting and crochet kits, with more hopefully coming soon, together with knitting needles for children and beginners and a selection of double knitting yarn to get you started.

I remember learning to knit at a very young age and having a pair of short red plastic children's knitting needles which I used with scraps of leftover wool that my Mum gave me.

I knitted clothes and accessories for dolls and then later I really enjoyed knitting toys, whilst I remember my Mum was always knitting jumpers and cardigans for the family.

So it's great to see a revival of the craft and the chance for children, in particular, to learn to knit with purpose-designed kits.

Teaching children to knit is also made so much easier with the special short plastic knitting needles designed just for them and these have proved really popular with individuals, schools and craft groups alike.

Enjoy your knitting!
