Hello

Also posted in activities. Anyone know of any knitting groups in Lugano or interested in becoming part of one with an enthusiastic novice?

I'll have to delete one of these or you might land up with replies in three places. I think this is the best place really, so I'll remove the one in activities.

There's a group as part of the IWCL (International Women's Club of Lugano) - here's a link to the activities part on their website:

Thank you! Are you a member of the IWCL? Would you recommend it?

I was a member of the IWCL and found they have some good groups/activities (although I'm not a knitter!), and the people I met through it were lovely. I've let my membership lapse now though as I have a young baby and it's just not possible to make it to most of the things that they organise, particularly as I live near the border with Italy rather than in Lugano itself.

Thank you, I've emailed and am waiting for the club secretary to contact me with membership details.

Hi; have you tried the knitting activity already. As I like knitting myself, I might want to join...

Hello Katrien,

Sorry I have just seen this.

No I haven't been to the knitting group, I had been umming and ahhing over whether to join the Women's group (you can't go to any of the sessions without becoming a member of the IWCL) and in the information they sent me most people appeared to be 20 years older than me and I was wondered (could be wrong) whether there was a religious slant to the group which I wouldn't care for. All in all I didn't feel it was for me on reflection, that's not to say it wouldn't be perfect for you!

Lux.
