Chorlton Knits is a knitting club that runs every 1st Thursday at the Battery Park Chorlton. It was founded in 2008 by Emily Birch, Sujin Choi and Laura Pike. Yes, now is a little later to start blogging about it, but Chorlton Knits is still up and running, with 176 members on facebook and 20-30 knitters attending to Chorlton Knits every month.
Chorlton Knits is open for everyone, knitters for all levels. Usually we provide yarns and needles for knitters who just want to drop in a knit, but most of the time knitters just show up with their own projects and share skills and patterns.
We are planning to draw in some more workshops and possibly some art projects as well. We want to network with some other Knitting Clubs, such as Kings Arms Knitting club or Todmorden Knitting club (a new one, starting this month!) both last one mentioned are founded and ran by Rachael Elwell from Artyarn. There is some other interesting knitting clubs going on in Manchester, such as Knitted Kittens or 8th day.
We have a bunch of new ideas for Chorlton Knits, with exhibitions, charity projects and other events.
Please go and see us from the facebook group to get regular updates from when the knitclubs take

Hopefully we get this blog more interactive and get people to submit their projects they do for us and we can publish it.
