Silver and Gold Friends

Bad blogger! A bit overdue in reporting the knitting group results from last Wednesday night.

Eight ladies came for the inaugural evening North St. Louis County knit-in. We had two from the St. Louis Knitting Guild (three, if you count me), my grade school friend, Kathy, my daughter-in-law, Angela, and three other, new ladies. One, Peggy, turned out to be the older sister of a gal Kathy and I went to high school with! It is a small world!

Angela was the only one who had never knit, but she did that evening - at least for a while. We had all kinds of projects and some crochet questions that we hope to work on next week. Even one of the workers at the Corner Coffee House got in the act. We ended up closing the place at 10 p.m., and she came over to inquire if we could help her. She had just begun knitting two days earlier and was mysteriously picking up stitches in a scarf she's making. When we left, she was saying "I can't wait for next week!"

I didn't realize that Myer House, the LYS, has a knit-in Wednesday evenings. They don't advertise it, since the space is limited, so I never knew. But we had a nice spot, on the sofa right in front of the fireplace, so we're good for a while.

All-in-all, it was a very pleasant evening. If you are interested, please visit a couple of my earlier posts for info, and feel free to join us on Wednesday evenings! You know the song - "Make New Friends, but Keep the Old" - well, that's what's going on here!

I'm SO Jazzed!!!

I've taken a gigantic leap into the new blogging experience, released my death grip on HTML, and joined the best and brightest in the new Blogger Beta!

It's taken a bit of getting used to, but I like the functionality, the drag-and-drop technology - heck! All that new stuff.

Sorry this isn't too much of a post, but I am back working temp again (thru November, at least), getting ready for the garage sale of the century (see my boring blog), trying to do more at home besides sleep, getting my car overhauled, trying to keep the kitchen stocked with quickie food, and replacing mattresses and lamps. Hopefully, I will be blogging, complete with updated pictures of the Krista Tee progress and the new knitting group, soon!

North County Knitting Group Update

Here's the flyer I worked up for the St. Louis North County Knitting Group. If you click on the picture, you will get a larger image you can actually read. I am trying to organize a group to KIP (Knit In Public) on Wednesday evenings at the Corner Coffee House in Ferguson. They are open until 10 p.m., so I am shooting for 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesdays, beginning October 18th.

If you live in North St. Louis County, please pass the word. This is open to the public and both experienced knitters and people wanting to learn to knit are welcome.

Pictures will be posted here of the innagural evening's participants! I am really excited about the prospect of meeting new people and being able to visit with some old friends!

If you are interested, please contact me through my blog profile or leave a way for me to contact you in a message on here! Thanks - and am looking forward to seeing everybody who's interested on October 18th!
