Knitting Groups In The North Of England

This week’s blog focuses on the northern parts of our fine country. We’ve compiled a list of some of the knitting and craft groups ‘up north’. It has been proven that knitting is good to keep your hands and mind healthy. Compare that with a healthy heart from socialising, I’d say knitting groups are a winning, healthy combination.
