Knitting
:rofl: Hi am moving to Sharjah at the end of the month and in UK I like knitting, now I know its hot out there but does anyone knit for fun/charity and can you buy wool out there?
:cool: |
Re: Knitting
There are certainly a few places that sell wool and other knitting supplies in Dubai, so I imagine you can get it in Sharjah too.

Plenty of TV in English, or American English. Several local channels broadcast in English as well as many others that show English/US/Aussie imports. What you'll get depends on the TV package you buy. You may be surprised how Western the UAE can be, even in Sharjah. :) |

Local TV is so dire you wouldn't want to watch it even if you could understand Arabic. |

Re: Knitting
Hi Winter snow,
You can buy wool out, if you go to Fida in satwa they have some and you can also pick some up in Dragon mart. I haven't found anywhere that has amazing quality- It's ok for toys etc but certainly nothing I would put a child in unless they want an itchy neck. I've not found anything like the Debbie Bliss wools out here so I guess it depends if you just want any wool or if you want a better quality wool. If you do find anywhere please let me know.

Re: Knitting
Thanks, yes I use Debbie Bliss a lot, don't like the scratchy stuff, am into cotton knitting at the moment. What is life like out here? Is it easy to make friends? Is it child friendly?

Re: Knitting
I don't understand your comment, I really only asked about knitting if people knit here? I know the weather is hot but do expats do any charity knitting for other countries etc? :blink:

Re: Knitting
Ah, I see I didn't really explain myself, when I say child friendly I mean are there lots of things for children to do. Clubs etc and mums who meet up, and perhaps knit at the same time.
Hopefully I make more sense now. |

Hopefully I make more sense now. I just saw your other question on the intro thread " Hi, am moving to Sharjah at the end of the month with children. Should I bring toys? Does it get cold at night?" REALLY???? If you need to ask these questions you obviously haven't done much research!! |
