If knitting or crochet is your thing why not go along to a knit club? These are drop-in groups held in a public place and are usually very friendly and good fun. The people there will probably be more than happy to remind you of how to knit and sort out your project if you hit difficulties!
I go to the Monday night one at the Yew Tree in Malin Bridge Bridge and we are always happy to give any basic knitting/crochet advice, teach beginners, and usually have a stash of wool and knitting needles in case anyone turns up empty handed!
N.b. it would be a good idea to check the groups listed below are running before turning up – I have found most of this info on the web and don’t know how current it is.
