The social group has both morning and evening sessions in the town and organisers say all are welcome to go along whatever their skill level or the craft they enjoy.

The town has become known for the knitting and crochet decorations that brighten up areas including Cross Street and town centre postboxes.

But the identity of those who make the creations as "yarn bombers" is a highly guarded secret.

The aim of the knit and natter group is for people to be able to enjoy their hobby with their own projects in the company of others and get support and advice if needed.

People can drop into the Red Lion every other Tuesday between 10.30am and 12.30pm, on January 3, 17, 31 and February 14, 28.

There are also monthly evening meetings at Moolah in Scotland Street on January 9, February 13 and March 13.
