I brought about 24 balls of yarn with me & came home with this...
even a set of Audi Turbos! Its a really fun way to clean out your stash & we give any yarn that is left over to schools & such.
I can't tell you how important this group has become to me over the past 3 years. Its amazing to me that we keep growing all the time & I meet the best new people every week. Some of the women who are my closest friends now are people I met through this group. I'm so glad that Gabbi & I decided to put up a posting one week on Craigslist to get people together at a bar to knit. Sure some weeks only six people show up but the next there is thirty & the email list is growing close to six hundred. I get emails & comments from time to time from people who wished they lived here in sf & could join us. My advice just pick a place & post it somewhere to start your own group. Yeah, its not easy to sit there & wait for strangers & think of what to say to them but the great thing about knitting is its gives you something you have in common. Once you start talking about that sweater you are making it all becomes much easier.
Looks like you got some good yarn!! Sounds like a very fun group!! Happy knitting!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that pink and yellow stuff?! Yum!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on how important the knitting group is. Mine has brought me together with people I *NEVER* would have met otherwise and would have thought I had nothing in common with. At the very least, we share a love of knitting and Starbucks. We've shared break-ups, babies, and all kinds of things as we knit. It gets pretty crazy, but we have a great time.
ReplyDeleteI am using that exact same Knit Picks yarn right now to make Ms. Marigold from Zephyr. I love working with it, and wearing it I hope will be equally as nice.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those people who wishes I could join the Chicks- Keep it up... and see you at next year's Stitch n' Pitch!
You know I don't know exactly what the pink & yellow yarn is since it didn't have any labels. it feels like wool though.
ReplyDeleteI so want to be a member of..SF chicks with sticks.... you guys seem to have such great ideas and lots of fun my knitting/craft group are pretty boring, nobody is interested in doing fun stuff like yarn supply swaps!
