Stich and Bitch East Dulwich is in need of a boost!


We have been running now for over 4 years now and would love some new blood. We are not especially accomplished knitters for the most part so don't feel intimidated! We are open to all and meet every fortnight in the East Dulwich Tavern (though we are currently considering a new venue) for knitting/crochet, drinks and chat.


Find us here!

Hi, I am another member of the StitchED and BitchED group. As Ellie mentioned in her original post, we are looking for a new venue. The EDT is a great pub but once they days shorten its just too dimly lit to be able to see what we're doing (and also a bit to footbally to hear what we're saying too). So next meet on the 5th of August we'll try out The Patch and the following meet (the 19th) we'll go to The Rose over on Forest Hill Road. We'll find the perfect place yet! Hope to see some new faces next week!

Hi there,

I run a charity called the Nabasa Trust we work with orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda, I was given your name by Sa friend of mine, I was wondering if you might all like to club together to make something we can then auction at our next charity event.

Kind regards

Joanna Smith

So we went to The Rose last week, its a beautiful pub, the music is low enough to talk easily, they greeted us (having seen this thread they were expecting us) and brought us extra lights! What a welcome!

We're aware its kind of out of the way over there but we loved it and want to go back next week. Its worth the trek.

Hope to see you and your yarn there next Tuesday (the 2nd) at or about 7:30.

Hi Ellie has the blanket, she came along to a meet up and you gave her the blanket to work on. Her husbands job changed so she can no longer come along as he works tues evenings now. I did pm Ellie or rachel on fb asking if there was somewhere/one in dulwich where she could drop it off so someone else could carry on working on it but didn't get a reply. If any of you work locally send me a pm and let me know where she can drop it into. Leanne

This Tuesday we will be hosting a yarn/book/project swap event at the rose pub on forest hill road from 7.30pm onwards. This is a great chance to meet new people, get some inspiration and get crafty! Bring along unwanted yarn etc to swap or just come along for a drink!

Meeting tonight with a change of venue, we'll be at The Cherry Tree, near the station. As almost perfect as The Rose was, some are finding it's location a tad difficult.

Tonight we're going to have a go at knitting/crochetig/whenallthatfailsjustwrapping around ping pong balls to make baubles. Not because it's Christmas, because it's October and not the Christmas season for some time yet, but because some of us are slow workers and if it turns out to be a good thing to do we'll need some time to make a set before it actually is Christmas. I'm bringing the balls, and a few print outs from pinterest but bring yarn and needles/hooks/whatever. See you there from 7:30. (Daddy babysitter wont be available till a bit later so I'll be the one with a small boy 'helping'.)

Hi Mishe, we meet every second Tuesday at the moment at a different pub. We will meet next time on the 11th from 7:30 at The Cherry Tree, which is very near the station.

We've been tripping around trying out different places to meet and have decided, for now, that we quite like trying new places so we're not settling down with a permanent meeting place for now. We'd love to meet you, and your yarn!

Thanks for the note on the next meetup. I have it down on my calendar for next Tuesday. At the moment I am knitting a poncho with Rowan's Felted Tweed. It's my first time knitting with the Felted Tweed and so far, I'm enjoying it. Hopefully I can finish it up this week and will cast on for another project. Look forward to meeting you and the group next week. Cheers!

Hello ladies. This is Michele. It was wonderful meeting all of you who were there last week for the SnB. I am in the midst of doing a major decluttering purge to free up space in our teensy weensy flat and have some old yarn that I want to find a good home for. Most of the yarn is summer weight that I have picked up during my travels. The fibers are probably cotton, silk, bamboo, etc. I can't remember anymore...Most are smooth, slippery and would probably make good things for summer and spring (drapey tops, skirts, etc). I suppose one could crochet them into things as well, but I bought them intending to knit summer tops, which I just never got around to doing. If anyone is interested, please let me know and I can bring it to our next meeting on Tues night. If no one is interested, then I will donate them to Oxfam.

Hi Michelle,


I'm looking for a few balls of colored yarn (any texture/fiber OK) to make some pom pom holiday decorations. If you'd be happy with some of your yarn turning into pom poms, I could pick up as soon as is convenient, including from your Tuesday night meeting (tomorrow?). Sadly, I'm not a member of SnB as can't knit :( !!

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
