Public Service Announcement

OK guys, on Tuesday I said that Knit A Round didn't have the Classic Elite Bamboo that Kim's using right now.

I was totally wrong. We totally have it.

My bad.

Fixed Join Us! link

I fixed the Join Us! link on the right sidebar so that it links to our yahoo group. Now people can actually join us when they click Join Us.

Any and all curious knitters are welcome to join us, either in person or virtually. If you want to actually meet face-to-face and knit (what a concept), we've been meeting Tuesday nights at Sweetwaters Cafe in downtown Ann Arbor. There's not really an official starting time, but we usually reach critical mass by 7:30 PM or so. Look for us in the back room.

If you want to actually become a member (learn the secret cast-on, perform mysterious rituals with yarn), sign up at our yahoo group.

If you are a blogger (or want to be one!), send a note to the yahoo group and we can also make you contributor to this group blog. Anyone can comment, but only the bloggers can post and upload photos. You know you want to!

Field Trip?

Hi all!

Tuesday evening Emily, Ingrid and I were discussing the possibility of taking a field trip to the Michigan Fiber Festival in August. What do y'all think?


Kim

Meeting tonight, new Bat Channel

Whoever wants to join us tonight, we'll be knitting at Cafe Felix on South Main in Ann Arbor. People will probaby straggle in all evening. I'll try to be there at 7:30 at the latest. Newcomers welcome! Look for the happy knitters.

If you need enticement, they have wine and real food. You'd be surprised how a bit of wine will loosen up your gauge.

Yarn Sale

Heads up, all. A Gathering Basket in Chelsea is going out of business (I think I mentioned this at our May 4th meeeting) and prices have gone down to 40% off everything (except consignment items, which include felt for rug hooking and "locally grown" roving, among other things). I picked up some yarn and books today.

They have very limited hours until their last day - 12 noon to 3:00 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday. Their last day is May 21st.

Our happy band of knitters

There was a great turnout at Ann Arbor Knit In last night at Sweetwaters, and here are the photos to prove it:



That's a couple of happy knit-bloggers, Denise and Ingrid. Ingrid is working on the Apricot Jacket from Rebecca, and Denise is working on an incredibly soft Pink Fluffy Cloud sweater.


Kim, another knit-blogger and spinner extraordinaire, does not suffer from second sock syndrome. She's smiling, too, but I wanted a close-up of the pretty sock.


Alecia (also smiling) cleverly putting her knitting to use even as it is taking shape.


Jennie and Emily pose with some of the Sugar 'n Cream that was thrust upon them. It is destined for Project Scrubbie greatness. Jenny is knitting something sortof crinkly. Emily, of course, is knitting up some Peace Fleece, the official fiber of their alma mater.

Join us next time! Sign up for our yahoo group if you want to stay in the (magic) loop.
