StitchED and BitchED - every fortnight in the East Dulwich Tavern

[es22]

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 es22 - I'm a keen knitter and would like to join your group. I'm not on Facebook however so I wonder if you could post the date/venue of the next meet-up on the forum?

[es22]

Hi Susan,

Next meet up is on 5th August, 7.30pm onwards at the East Dulwich Tavern by Goose Green.

Look forward to seeing you. If you would like my number please PM me.

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

Hi! I'm not part of the stitched and bitched group but I have a small business and would be happy to donate something for the auction.

Have a look at http://www.facebook.com/raglanroaddesigns to see what you think. It's all handmade homeware, great for gifts, etc so there should be something suitable!

[Au'Lait]

Joanna that's not a bad idea, we were making a blanket as a group but that has disappeared, if it ever turns up I'm sure you'd be welcome to it!

[Alextowle]

Hi there

When is your next meeting? I'd like to come along !

Thank you

[Au'Lait]

Our next meeting is tonight (in half an hour actually, I'll be late as usual) at The Rose on Forest Hill Road. Hope you can make it!

[Au'Lait]

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.

[Au'Lait]

Everyone got their needles ready?

See you tonight from 7:30 at The Rose on Forest Hill Road.

I would really like to come along but it seems that all my existing commitments are also on Tuesdays! :(

Is anyone going on the Great London Yarncrawl http://www.greatlondonyarncrawl.com/ ?

[ludoscotts]

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!

[Au'Lait]

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'.)

Hello,

I recently moved into the area and am interested in joining a SNB group. How often do you meet and where? Thanks!

[Au'Lait]

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!

[mishe]

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!

[Au'Lait]

Ooh, have never used that! Do you felt it after or does it just have a felty texture? You sound like you know what you're talking about, we're going to like you! You'll have to bring it along to show off!

[mishe]

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 :( !!

[Au'Lait]

Ooh yes please, I'm like a vulture over an available yarn stash! Am still doing little, fundraisy type things so very interested in a little extra yarn.

See you tomorrow!

Green Gramaphone, we can teach you to knit if you like, it's not hard!

[mishe]

Okay; I will bring the yarns. See you all tonight!

[cookie&biscuit]

where are you ladies meeting tonight?

thanks!

[Au'Lait]

At the Cherry Tree, on Grove Vale. By the Library. We'll be there from 730. (actually, I'll probably be there from 7, spot me with a small boy in tow)
