I had a great time at the Close Knit Cafe in Southbourne the other weekend. It was a lovely sunny day so we sat outside on the yarnbombed benches and could look at the flower pots covered in yarn and knitted bunting.

Inside, the place was covered in even more yarn! The seat covers were knitted and the lampshades were multicoloured with all the different yarns that had been used. Plus there was so much yarn to look at while you were having your coffee and cake, which was also amazing.

It was a great independent cafe to visit and the owner was really friendly. I would recommend this knitting cafe to everyone. It’s a great place to catch up with friends and get your knit on.
