Any good knitting groups/courses
  • ArkadyArkady

    Not my bag, but I find I'm pleased to hear one exists. So you're not into masochism with your needles then?

  • Misscara

    Anyone going to knitting group tonight? After last weeks BDSM revelations I wonder what this weeks surprise topic of conversation will be..? I'll be there around 8ish.

  • Misscara

    Just a reminder it's knitting group tonight. I'm going so is Beccie, anyone else?

  • emine

    I still haven't finished work but I should be able to pop along later.

  • Misscara

    Nice turn-out last night, and we actually did knitting for a change instead of just getting drunk.

  • Misscara

    There will be a few of us tonight, I've booked the table under the chandelier from 7.30 (the one we had last week) I will probably be there a bit later than 7.30. Anyone else coming?

  • Misscara
    That time of week again folks!

    I'm going, so is miss Annie, and I think I have a new member as well - anyone else? Even if you can't knit why not pop in for a drink and say hello?
  • Mirandola
    Where are you going to be exactly?
  • Misscara
    We usually sit under the chandelier thing by the pillar in the middle. We will be knitting. I don't usually get there til about 8ish.
  • miss annie

    I'll be there 8.30ish.

  • Mirandola
    Is that in the Stapelton?
  • Misscara
    No, we always meet in The Noble.
  • Misscara
    I will be popping in about 8ish but can't stay long this week. I have a hot date this evening :D
  • miss annie

    Can't come this week, enjoy your date.

  • emine

    I can't come this week either. Again. I will be back, honest. Just started knitting a dishcloth. I think my next project will be less ambitious.

  • Misscara
    Sosusie's not coming either and Hopping mad is still away so it looks like no knitting group this week. I'll be in The Noble later though. See you all next week!
  • bethyfowler
    Hello, is knitting on tomorrow evening? I've just started and am trying to make a cardigan for my niece. I can do the basics of knit 1 pearl 1, but can't cast on. Anyone be able to help me? I have a pattern, wool and needles, just need to start the damn thing now

    Thanks

    Beth xx
  • Misscara

    Yes we're meeting tomorrow. Please come along and we'll get you started. I usually get there about 8ish.

  • Misscara

    Just a reminder that this still happens on a Thursday at The Stapleton, 8pm. It's disappeared from the calendar. It's not strictly just a knitting group any more - although the main focus is knitting, anything arty/crafty is acceptable.

  • andy

    We took it out of the calendar because we hate you.


    Or it got lost in the move, one or the other.
  • Idoru

    It got lost in the move because you hate us?

  • andy

    or that

  • Misscara

    Knitting group Christmas Dinner/Piss up on 9th December in The Stapleton. Need everyone's £20 and menu choices by 2nd please.

  • Idoru

    Another reminder - Stapleton, tomorrow, 8pm. :)

  • Misscara

    I might have a couple of boys from work coming along. We like boys :)

  • Misscara

    Back on tonight following Christmas break. Stapleton 8pm.

  • ArkadyArkady

    I bumped into a knitting group in the Stapleton last night.  They'd rescued my scarf.  Was it any of you lot?

  • Misscara

    I wasn't there but it would have been our group. I don't think there's more than one! I thought you knew most of us anyway?

  • ArkadyArkady

    I didn't recognise anyone, but it was a fly-by scarf retreval and I'd had a couple.

  • Misscara

    There is also a knitting group at The Bull in Highgate on a Tuesday night, run by a lovely German lady called Anke. More exciting Bull-related news coming soon :)

  • miss annie

    I've spoken to her on twitter, she's keen to join the W.I.

  • Misscara

    Yes I told her about it, she's a lovely woman was funny when we met as we both did a double take as we were wearing very similar outfits and have the same hairstlye and both really tall! She wants to come and do a spinning demo at WI, makes the most fabulous handspun Norwegian-Style knitted dresses, did you see the photos of me modelling them?

  • miss annie

    She didn't mention spinning, but that was a few weeks ago and twitter rather limits the depth you can go into. Does she use the weaving shop on Seven Sisters Rd? There's a lady there who's keen to do a demo.

  • Misscara

    I don't think so. She buys virgin Jacob fleeces from somewhere in the countryside and spins and washes them herself. I know a couple of the ladies from Handweavers Studio as we shared a stall at Well Oiled Festival not last year but year before.

  • Misscara

    It is my dream to have a flock of sheep on Mount View reservoir that we could shear and use the wool at knitting group (and eat of course).

  • IlovegreyhoundsIlovegreyhounds

    Wow! I have often seen foxes around the reservoir so you would need a shepherd/shepherdess and a good dog.

    The weaving shop had an advert in the last Middlesex WI mag.

  • Idoru

    I'll be shepherdess! I could wear a Little Bo Peep dress.

  • ArkadyArkady

    Suddenly I'm interested.

  • Misscara

    There were 6 of us at The Bull knitting group last night, lovely pub with its own brewery out the back and real coal fires. They also have a lovely new manager :p

  • Misscara

    I don't suppose there are any more foxes on Mount View than out in the countryside, but we could have a few Alpaca in with the sheep. Apparently they scare away foxes http://www.rivergumrise.com.au/HerdGuards.htm
