Introducing Kate
Nov 27, 11:03 AM by Kate Bolin
Name: Kate
Knitting Since: January 2007
Likes: Pop culture, kitsch, Halloween, web design, and sleeping
Dislikes: Scratchy clothes, hay fever, bad code, and most mornings
Why’d you start knitting? I was between jobs, and home sick with a nasty cold. Staggering home from a doctor’s appointment, I stopped in at the local Co-op and saw the partwork The Art of Knitting magazine. Only 99p for some 4.5mm needles, some cheap acrylic yarn, a DVD and a magazine, I figured it was high time for me to pick up a new hobby.
What project are you the most proud of? At this moment, it’s my pumpkin hat or my iPod cozy pattern, because the first was my first paid project, and the second was my first real project.
What’s your favourite type of yarn? I like to knit with cotton, because it’s smooth and easy to work with. But I really love bamboo for the silkiness of it. And I have a fondness for ghastly cheap acrylic that no one else loves. I’ll give it a good home!
Strangest place you’ve ever knitted? It’d either be in the projection booth at the Cineworld or in Rock City waiting for a band to go on!
Why are you on the Knit In Notts blog? I needed a place to talk about knitted projects, write up patterns, the whole lot. And since my regular blog is mostly about web design and I made the Knit In Notts website, what better place than to talk about knitting than here!

The start of something
Nov 18, 02:20 PM by Knit In Notts
Hi everyone,
This is the start of the Knit In Notts group weblog.
Each author will have their own page, talking about their own particular projects, recommendations, adventures in knitting, whatever.
All authors come from the Knit In Notts group, so if you’re a regular, drop us an email and we’ll set you up with an account.
And if you’re interested, you can join us on Tuesday nights, from 6 onwards, at Lee Rosy’s Tea Shop in Hockley. We’re sociable people and we love new people. If you’ve been knitting for decades, or just want to learn, we’ll be happy to have you there.
See you there! (And here as well!)
