stitch and bitch away the christmas blues
Posted by tim, January 4, 2012
After Christmas we can all feel a little blue, decorations come down, back to work and school and nothing to look forward to but spring and Easter, which in this cold windy weather seems a million miles off but do not fear, a stitch and bitch is near. I’m sure you are all well aware of the stitch and bitch craze that has made a real come back in recent years but with the Christmas festivities over, now is the time to make full use of one near you. If you are local to the bath and bristol areas then you have plenty of knitting clubs to choose from.They run one at cox and baloney on cheltenham road in Bristol every Monday from 4 to 6, which welcomes all knitting abilities. It is £6 a person but it includes some very delicious tea and cake. If you live out in the sticks or are unable to get to one then why not start your own, all you need is a big teapot, enough mugs and chairs for your friends that will join in the fun and some needles and wool, which can be found in local charity shops or car boot sales. Even if your knitting skills only stretch to squares and oblongs, why not try an easy scarf or head warmer and who said tea cosies have to be round. You could even stretch to a craft club, maybe try some patchwork sewing, or hanging hearts in retro fabric like in the picture below. Fill your home with colourful handmade creations to brighten your mood and say goodbye to the christmas blues.
