Au'Lait

The Actress again tonight, see you there!

The Cherry Tree is no more, so we'll be at The Actress next (this) week. It may become our new home or we may trip around a bit, until we find a place to settle.

Sorry Sue, yes, that should have been directed at Ricci! We're meeting tonight Ricci, if you can make it we'd love to meet you.

Hey Yarnies! Let's get our knit on! There's been a few newbies threatening to show up and not following through, perhaps we'll see you tonight?

Yes, like NatD said. Sorry, didn't see that Nat..

Hi Sue, StitchED and BitchED meet every Tuesday evening in the Cherry Tree, near the station. We're there from 7:30 and we'd love to meet you!

They are BellaLouise, see you there one day.

The title says it all really, we meet weekly and knit, or crochet, and have a wee drink and a chat about yarn and other stuff. We have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/105594917610/ (which is where you'll fine the most activity, it's regularly used and updated) and a Ravelry page: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/stitched (which is brand spanking new, so please join up and hopefully once a few more of us are on there it will become a useful kind of hub for us to share projects and information) and a Pinterest page: https://www.pinterest.com/spohlaz/stitched-and-bitched/ (for yarn porn, mostly). Any crafty types are welcome to come along, bring your project and join us for a drink (or two, perhaps 4 on a really rocking night) or get yourself some pretty yarn and some needles or a hook and we'll teach you!

Starting a new thread, this one has too much now irrelevant information on it.

Also, I have a couple of knitting machines which we'll get out and play with this Friday night (at my place, not the pub), if you want to be in on that party, PM me.

We have a little knitting (and crochet, if you wanna swing that way) group, we meet Tuesday evenings in The Cherry Tree on East Dulwich Grove. Newbies are always welcome, whether you're looking to learn or are already an advanced knitter (or crocheter, or embroiderer, or whatever) just turn up! (you can post here to introduce yourself too, that'd be nice, though not strictly necessary) We also have a Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/105594917610/ which is well established and regularly updated; a Ravelry group: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/stitched, which is brand spanking new and I hope will be useful to us, especially those who are not on facebook, and a Pinterest page: https://www.pinterest.com/spohlaz/stitched-and-bitched/ where you can see what others are up to or inspired by (or just for browsing a bit of yarn porn).

Hey Ladies, If you're free Friday night, come to mine to play with the knitting machines!

It sure is! Every Tuesday evening we're there From 7:30. Hope to see you one night.

Yes we are! Though actually I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight, if I come it will probably be late. I was wondering where you'd been Miche, hopefully I'll see you tonight.

It's knit night ladies (and any men that'd like to join)! I'm going to be late tonight, I won't be there before 8 so if you get there before me (or anybody else), get your needles out and get comfy!

Absolutely BurntAmber, come along! Anybody can come, just show up, no invitation is necessary. The weekly meetings are going well, there tends to be fewer of us than there often were before but we're still filling a table!

Hey Yarnies! We've had talks about QueenMab's suggestion of meeting weekly, weighing up the terrible difficulty of following a bi-weekly schedule, and of fitting a weekly meeting into our busy lives and we've decided to give weekly meets a trial period. So for February and March, while it is still knitting season, we will meet every Tuesday evening at the Che(e*)ry tree from 7:30. I'm mostly there from 7, but you may want to check if you plan on coming early and don't want to sit by yourself. I'm not completely dependable. We're very easy to spot, on account of the pile of yarn on the table, which, BTW, is most often the big round one to your right when you enter. QueenMab and her Herne Hill knitters (as well as anybody else who'd like to come along an join the fun), please do accept our invitation to come and join us now that you know when we will be meeting, and if you can forgive my little dig. After all though, what good is a knitting group without a little ribbing? * In joke, stemming from previous brilliant typo.

See you next time then curlylocks, hope your worm is coming along nicely in the meantime.

Of course Janet! Chances are, you won't have much more on your needles by the end of the evening than you did when you arrived anyway so it's hardly an issue! See you Tuesday.

Miche, I've just knit up a ball of that open weave cotton yarn I took from you, it's horribly different on the machine too but it's still an awful lot easier than by hand! Will bring the swatch Tuesday.

We'll look forward to meeting you Sarah!

Good morning Miche, I've copied your post to the fbook group so hopefully everyone will see it there. 27th is fine for me, I'm in.

Dates for the future: 20th Jan 3rd Feb 17th Feb 3rd March 17th March 31st March. From 7, at the Cherry Tree.

Not sure every week would work, unless most of the group could make it most weeks and I suspect that most people are just too busy. I'll be sure and float the idea at the next meet though, which, by the way, is next Tuesday (20th). There's usually a reminder if you follow the Facebook group, which I think Ellie linked in the original post. Re Mini hats, most of us are not advanced knitters, and therefore struggling on through with our own projects. We all like the idea of knitting for charity and have tried it a few times before but we don't have a great track record. I'll certainly relay the request next week though and see if anybody's up for it.

See you tonight ladies!
