stitch and bitch and switch
Last night I managed to make it to the Stitch 'n Bitch here in Boston! I'd heard that there are a few other knitting groups in the area and knew some people who go to the S'nB, so I worked out a one-time Tuesday night deal with my husband and drove out to Harvard Square to check it out. Cool kids up there. They're young, but they're knitters, so they're cool. One woman is working on a thesis about social cohesion in knitting circles and a garter stitch something. Neato! I was (slowly) casting on for the front of the crazy continental.
In other knit group happenings, my regular knitting group is having a yarn swap this week. We're all bringing in yarn/projects we are just sick of having and can't imagine ever using/finishing and doing sort of a Yankee Swap. So essentially, we're redistributing our stashes. One knitter's stash trash is another knitter's future stash trash. No, seriously, I'm really excited about it! Although to enter the swap I need to donate to it and I can't imagine parting with anything in my tiny little stash.

Hi... I'm new to the Boston fiber community. Where/when is the Boston Stitch n' Bitch? Is it just for knitters? Are spinners and embroiderers welcome too? (I never know what I'll be in the mood to work on in a given night, you see...)
Hi Diane and other Boston fiber folks out there. The Stitch n Bitch is on Tuesday nights from 6pm to 8pm at Peet's Coffee in Harvard Square. It looks like they have a Yahoo Group here.
Do you spinners call spinning in public, sipping? That seems appropriate in a coffee shop!
