Learn 2 Knit

Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my first Stitch and Bit*h meeting and it was pretty cool. I didn't realise there'd be so many people. Some 60 knitters in the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank.

 

I was pretty nervous about bring out my Slouchy Hat project that looks horrendous btw because there doesn't seem to be a pattern. Thankfully there were plenty of newbie knitters who needed help casting on so that boosted my confidence. I think I'll suggest a ‘fix’ session because that what I need lol. The great thing about the group was that the other more experienced knitters were so helpful ...in just two short hours I’ve learnt how to pick up a stitch when you’ve missed one and how to undo stitches which is called tinkling.

 

And like a certain someone said, they weren’t all spinsters! Interestingly enough the group had a few male members and people from all walks of life. The lady sitting next to me was a freelance film editor and the one across worked on fashion shoots. Spinsters?! The S&B members will have plenty to say about that!

I'm always looking for yarn shops and I found this one online which I'm hoping to visit in the near future. I's just so cute!
