Stag & Bow still have a few spaces on our Beginners Crochet 3 part course starting this Wednesday http://stagandbow.com/product/beginners-crochet-95-wednesday-8th-15th-22nd-june-6-30-8-30pm/2


Beginners Crochet Wednesday 26th October, 2nd and 9th November 6.30 ? 8.30pm (6 hours)


Over 3 weeks learn how to crochet! Learn the basic stitches to make flowers and the good ol granny square.


We like to think our beginners crochet workshops to be the most comprehensive and relaxing in town? Spaced over three weeks in 2 week sessions you get to grips with crochet slowly, surely and most importantly confidently. The first week you will learn how to hold your hook, tension your yarn, make a foundation chain and get to grips with single and double crochet. You will go home and practice, find your own rhythm and relax your shoulders coming back the following week to learn how to put these skills together in a granny square. On returning (no doubt wearing an afghan poncho) you will learn how to increase, decrease and read a pattern, putting all these skills together to make a table full of pretty flowers and a sweet pair of Mary Jane shoes.


No experience necessary ? A hook, yarn and inspiration provided!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
