The Stitch and Bitch group welcomed two new members this month, with a full house of regulars sitting around the big round table in the room to the side of the entrance in the Swan. I took my medieval lucet to make a loose cord that I'm knitting up with broom handle knitting needles into - well, at the moment it's just growing; it'll probably end up as a bedspread!
We found we had three people called Sarah (or Sara) around the table, one of whom was knitting pouches for baby joeys who had been orphaned in the bush fires in Australia. And we had two Kittys, one of whom was knitting fingerless mittens for refugees. One of the new ladies was finishing off a jumper. As ever, the conversation was wide ranging, taking in serious topics like home schooling to world domination via knitting groups! We even mentioned the recent Science Café talk on light bulbs as we tried to work out if Kitty's yarn was teal or green under the yellow lights of the chandelier, and the white light of somebody's phone.
The group meets from 6pm to around 8pm on the First Thursday of every month, and sometimes at other times, if enough people want to turn out and do it.
