Meglet Oct 2021 9:16pm, 4 Oct 2021 22,034 posts	0 Meglet I've been to the Harrogate one. It's pretty big, and crowded. It does make me laugh to see all the knitters and stitchers walking about town as many oof them fit the stereotype.

LazyDaisy Oct 2021 6:10pm, 5 Oct 2021 34,353 posts	0 LazyDaisy Oh my word, I warn all you lovely people - I think I have jumped into something I'm going to get in a pickle with It's a jumper for my grandson, which is to be knitted in the round (which I've never done before) and talks about something called 'German Short Rows' (which I've never heard of before ) When I'm in a fix I hope you'll be a fount of advice I have a video to watch on YouTube for these German Short Rows so I will give that a go before pestering you
