Got a Gritty Knitting Emergency?
Knitting SOS - the REAL Fourth Emergency Service!
I created Knitting SOS in 2005 as a free service for knitters in need of emergency advice. I feel strongly that sometimes a knitter will need a bit of advice to keep them going and I was keen to provide this as a free service rather than have knitters get 'stuck' and stop knitting for want of a little boost... so take advantage of over 45 years of knitting experience!
