Stitch and Bitch is expanding! If everybody came on the same night, I think we'd have trouble fitting into the comfortable little room on the end of the Swan's bar. Last month, a lady called Marva turned up, very enthusiastic - though she couldn't get a lift into town this time.
Instead, Kitty arrived with her knitting. She's only been living in Hay for a few weeks, and already she's getting involved (though she said she's been coming for holidays here for fifteen years). She wanted to know where to go to get her hair done, so there was a lot of comparing notes on the merits of the various hairdressers in town.
Jenni came to chat, without any project to work on, because she was going on to ballroom dancing later.
Ros said she was going to check out the new craft group at the Globe, which had decided to meet on the same night as us, so we didn't see her either.
A few other people didn't come because they had bad colds, or didn't want to come out in the cold weather - and the room was almost full, even so.
Kitty got help with her button hole, and someone else said that they wanted to learn to crochet, and another lady brought in the gorgeous lacy shawl she's been knitting for months (it started with nine stitches and goes up to six hundred and something in one row!). She complained it was smaller than the pattern had said - but it was still beautiful, and wearable.
We'll be meeting again in two weeks time, on Thursday from 6 - 8pm, (and we don't really do any Bitching!)
