Local Knitting Group starting up

Make sure you have your knitting permit. I can see the headlines now. The Seaside Gestapo had to use deadly force when a lady lunged at one of seasides finest with her 3MM knitting needles when asked for her permit.:funn:;-):roll:

I knew that your post couldn't be serious!

Seriously, though, the SG is getting pretty "bad" over there. Not very comfortable when it's 8:15am on a weekday & the only thing they have to do is follow locals around.

Do you have any more meetings planned? Just found the info sounds like it might be fun!

Working on that right now... More info when it's solidified, but it will be about a week and a half out.

Thanks!

There is a knitting group meeting on Monday the 22nd at 6:00pm at Sugar Pies in WaterColor.

Hope to see all those interested there!

Looking forward to our next meeting, Lisa !!

I just read Friday Night Knitting Club and now I'm dying to learn to knit! Although I doubt I have the patience for it, yet! I'm hoping that as I age, I'll grow into it!

That's so funny ! I saw that book at the bookstore but had to restrain myself from buying it. I have had two knitting novels on my bookshelf for ages now...one has been renewed from the coastal branch library literally about 10 times now

I really like the book, it reminded me of the importance of having a group of friends that gets together periodically!

next meeting?

Hello, just wondering when the next knitting group gathering will be?

I'm actually kind of curious about this. I'm getting ready to quit smoking and I'll need something to occupy my hands.

If you get into knitting (or crochet, even needlepoint), you will not have any interest or desire to put the work down for any other purpose except perhaps the occasional physical necessities to keep your body alive (food, water, maybe sleep). It becomes its own addiction, and soon your house is filled with yarn, and a mondo assortment of needles and other neato accoutrements. When you travel, the first place you seek out is the local knit shop. You begin experimenting with other fibers that might be knittable: curling ribbon (yes, pretty interesting); raffia (very difficult and it breaks a lot, and there are all those pieces to either tie together or work int); plastic shopping bags cutr into strips (very very cool), torn up old clothes (again, very cool); various local grasses and other plant fibers (still on my list to try); adding machine tape (bad idea).

What about old audio cassette tape? This could definitely be funn.

I'm cold- will one of y'all knit me a sweater?

Not yet, but I can light it up for you.

I have no idea what you are talking about - Mama Scooterbug has filled my childhood bedroom w/ yarn and books and works in a knitting/weaving/yarn store where her paycheck is just turned in for more yarn. Although the afghans, sweaters, oven mitts, hats, rugs, scarves, felted purses, and socks are pretty nice!

I have alot of cotton duck & linen that isnt exactly in high demand-it comes in perty colors too.

We're supposed to have the next one next Wednesday at 10:00am at Amavida. PM me if you want more details & I'll be happy to send them to you.

SWGB, I have seen cassette tape used for knitting, but I don't know if I'd want to do it. I did start trying strips of plastic bags a few months ago, but got sidetracked.

Thanks, might be able to pop over but gotta do my paying job too.... Glad to know there's a knitting group and will hope my schedule allows attending one of these days...

yes, a very nice way to get together and bond with friends !! Organic Mama picked it up and has offered to lend me the book so I will be sure to let you know my thoughts... (if I ever get around to finishing it !)

You will. It's a great read.

Susan, we also have an evening meeting towards the end of the month. It's been slow lately, so we've skipped a number of months.

That could definitely work into other "events", what do I need to bring?

Yourself. I have extra needles & yarn. I just want to laugh.:funn:Yes, that is how I have planned it. One event leading into another one.:roll:

Cool, we'll figure it out after we're jacked up on coffee.

Just moved to 30A, I am a novice knitter, but love to just sit, knit & visit. Back in Tennessee, we had a great little local knit shop where I made lots of friends and learned so much! Really miss that! Is this "knit group" still active, if so, please let me know, I'd love to join you!
