Knitting is probably not as widely popular as it used to be, though when I used to visit the wool shop there were usually several customers ahead of me waiting to be served, rarely I went in there and was first to be served. I still knit when I get the chance, I have a jumper on the needles at the moment , and I also knitted a few poppies for St. Mary's Church in Warwick. They received all in all about 70,000 poppies. I didn't knit near 1000, but I donated what I knitted. There is a craft club, including knitting in Leamington which I was thinking of joining, so I can meet some knitting ladies. Thankfully, there is still a good shop in Leamington that sells wool and fabrics, which I use all the time if I am making curtains , etc. But I still think the wool shop in Warwick were the cat's whiskers. .
