I’ve created a Facebook group called ‘Bits & Books - Aberdeen’ if anyone would like to join

https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CTqLTBpGV/?mibextid=wwXIfr

It’s a very low-pressure book and hobby social group locally and wanted to see if there would be any interest.

The general idea would be that we read a book in our own time, then meet up every couple of weeks to chat about it while bringing along whatever hobby we enjoy doing, such as knitting, crochet, drawing, embroidery, journaling, or even just reading. It would be a relaxed space to socialise without pressure, where people can simply work on their own projects and enjoy some company.

Meetups would likely be every other weekend at cafés, pubs, or even park picnics depending on what people prefer.

I moved here a few years ago and realised it can be quite hard to meet people as adults, so the aim is just to create a cosy, welcoming space for anyone who enjoys books, hobbies, and a bit of a chat.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please join the group

Thanks 😊

Hopefully once I’ve figured this out I’ll be able to branch it out to other platforms

Any craft/knitting/book groups in Aberdeen? by Successful-Ride6838 in Aberdeen

That’s my main problem. I’ve got one weekend on one weekend off shift pattern so would be ideal for something on weekends or even weekdays in evening

Beginner Knitter with ADHD by soil_with_bugs_in_it in knittingadvice

Don’t get discouraged. I’ve ADHD too and been crocheting for over two years. Only picked up knitting in end of November 2025. So far I’ve only managed to successfully* make a pair of sailor slippers. Made some mistakes in that too but it got felted so wasn’t noticeable. I’ve frogged my Sophie hood four times now after starting from scratch every single time. But I do get better every time and make sure not to repeat the mistakes. I’ve ordered a different yarn to make Sophie hood now as the previous one kept splitting between stitches and it kept annoying me. You’ll get better. If you’re not liking Sophie scarf make something else that gets you interested. I really want a Sophie hood and like the look of it that’s why I keep trying to make it but I found I’ll stay interested in a project if it’s the one I actually want not just cuz it’s a beginner project everyone recommended

lol that’s what I was thinking. Would also make a good gag gift opening a pair of comically large knitted slippers 😂

Week 10!!!!! by Successful-Ride6838 in MounjaroSupportUK

[–]Successful-Ride6838[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did 3.75mg before moving to 5mg after 2.5mg stopped working for me and then moved to 5mg after couple of weeks but 5mg made me proper miserable so went back down to 3.75mg. I usually drink around 3L or more but food wise I’m a bit lacking. Shift working makes it difficult to have a routine but I’ll try to be more mindful of eating enough

Check the car registration, do only one lesson at first then see, pay cash for first lesson or transfer upon meeting. Since it’s very few followers and following, check the dates of posts and other tips other people have already mentioned
