Tyburn Mail page 14 ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE @ The Sanctuary 0121 748 8111 When someone told me I would be joining a knitting group I gave a little laugh. Why would I want to sit and knit? As the first evening approached I turned up not knowing what to expect. There was no need to feel uncomfortable going into a new group because even though I could not knit it did not matter. There were a couple of ladies there who could and guess what? they were really friendly. I didn’t pick it up straight away but they didn’t mind as they were always there showing me new ways. Soon I felt I could master anything but in truth I had just knitted my first square which to my amazement one of the ladies turned it into a Bunny. From that day onwards I felt I had made some good friends. While we are at the group we don’t stop laugh- ing as there is always a funny story being told. I then started to think what else do I benefit from by being part of the Knits N Pieces Group and realised that if I didn’t make the effort to go I probably would not have spoken to anyone that day. Some of the group say it helps to keep their brain ticking, others say it helps with their joints, but I think it’s just a friendly group to be part of, where you can learn new things. If you would like to come and see for yourself we meet at the Sanctuary every 2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 4.00pm.
