A new direction for Bury South

Yesterday I welcomed the Mayor and Mayoress of Salford to the Nicky Alliance Day Centre.  I actually just went in to visit for the afternoon as I am currently only working two days a week and yesterday was one of my days off.  I could not resist picking up the knitting of one of the members in the art room wondering whether knitting is like riding a bike ie you never forget.  It must be 15 years since I last knitted something so the photographer could not resist photographing me.  I have heard that knitting is making a comeback so maybe I will find my old knitting needles and get clicking away!  It is a sign of the times though when I went to visit my daughter at university the other month and found her knitting – when asked who taught her she told me ‘oh I learnt how to knit on U-tube!’  There were still some tips she had to learn from her mother like how to seemlessly start a new ball of wool!
