Stitch and bitch knitting circle

Geminispark, where and when is the Martial Arts demonstration and self defense workshop? Is it open to attend?

@ Geminispark, I tried to PM you for details on the Tuesday group but the message failed. Can you post the details here, or PM me about them, please?

Thanks,
A

Hey Vatosca,
The demo is open to all... as is the workshop. They will be in the campus of the Technical University of Munich in Garching. I can give you more details but I do not want to turn this board into a different discussion
(Do you think people would be interested enough for me to try and start a new topic?)

To alala...well actually being totally new (meeting count at the moment = 0) I do not really know...sorry. I think that there are others though who would be able to give you info.

Again apologies for turning this discussion away but I am really having trouble with PM's...can't send or receive any ...no idea why! Will figure it out in time or will pester the moderators (hehe)

Again happy knitting.

@Alala: Tuesday German group meets at "Esszimmer", Siegfriedstraße 14 from ca. 18/18.30 hrs depending on who are there first. Just turn up and look for a table with people knitting...and just tell them that I sent you there.

Hello, I'm new to TT and am very interested in meeting new people and learning how to knit. Is it too late to sign up for Stitch'n' Bitch?

@oh_angela: Nope, not too late at all. Go ahead and sign up and turn up this Sunday. Have you ever knit or crochet before at all, have you got material? Just want to know so that I could bring along some extra stuff this Sunday.

Super! No, never have done either and I don't have any materials but I can purchase some on Saturday. What kind of knitting needles do I need? And where do I sign up?

@oh angela: If you want, I could accompany you to purchase the stuff. However, you can leave it off and just try your hand out on Sunday first to see whether you like it or not before you invest in some stuff.

Talking about buying stuff. bethnagus, are you around? Are you still interested in doing a Yarn-Crawl? This also applies to the rest of you SnBers. Date and time suggestions welcome!

Lastly World Wide Knit in Public Day (WWKIP Day) is coming up on 9th June (Saturday). I didn't sign us up since I'm not sure whether you guys would be here or not. But we can still organise a semi-official WWKIP. Then I could put up our name on the German division over at Daniela's Maschenkunst. kks actually suggested once that we should all go and knit on the steps of the Feldherrnhalle at Odeonsplatz. Any other suggestions are welcome! Last year I was KIPing away with TalksToStrangers at the Hofbräu Garten at Wiener Platz. Here are some reminder photos:

how about Friday afternoon for the Yarn-Crawl?

I'm in for KIP-day... Feldherrnhalle would be a good place as it's so central, but I think it would be a bit uncomfortable. How about Chinesischer Turm?

@Regan: (Wollkorb @ Sendlinger Tor doesn't have Pro Natura, I popped in yesterday to have a look) If you don't mind having other people around. ;-) Okay, we're suggesting:

YARN CRAWL!!!

When: This Friday (11th May) afternoon. Exact time TBD.
Where: I'd start off with Wollkorb at Sendlinger Tor as usual. So we should meet up at Sendlinger Tor
Who: Elemmaciltur, regan (at the moment)

@Alala: Are you around for a stitching session on Friday? I have university until 1900 hrs. So we could meet after that. TalksToStrangers: what about you?

Aaah, those buggers! (No, I don't mean other people around!) Why is it that this particular yarn doesn't seem to be sold in Munich? I'm going to write Atelier Zitron now, so they can tell me where to buy the Pro Natura stuff. First they make a great (supposedly) bamboo yarn, and then you can only buy it on the internet with shipping costs. ARGH!

I'll be just this side of Denmark

Elemmaciltur, thank you. Then I will just meet you guys at Cafe Mondial and learn with your materials instead of buying them myself. Ich freue mich darauf! Bis dan!

@Elemmaciltur: Do you want to yarn-crawl before or after you go to Uni?

@Aelfwynn: Oh well, just make sure you knit in public then!

@oh angela: Okay! Looking forward to seeing you there!

@regan: before the university...shall we meet at, say, 2 p.m.? Maschenkunst has pro Natura, but it's in Cologne. So, if you can wait, I can either get some for you the next time I'm there or when Shernoh's coming down.

Any time decided yet for the yarn crawl??

I have only been to one wool shop in Munich so this would be good for me to find the others

@g24: Well, for the time being, I'd say at 2 p.m. @ Sendlinger Tor. Keep an eye on the thread in case there's a change. Hope to see you there!

I'm trying to be there! Waiting to find out if hubby can get away from work early!! Fingers crossed !!

@Elemmaciltur:
I singed up, . Actaully I have no experience before, but still feel interested.

@Awa: Great! I just replied to your PM. Hope to see you there on Friday, or at the latest on Sunday!

Hey there SNBers! I just compiled a list of all the german online knitting shops that I know of and thought it may (or may not) be of use to you. If you know of any others, please let me know and I will add them to the list. Hope to be there on Sunday (finally!).

Online shops list

@kks: THAT list is from you? I never knew...I just gave the link to Awa. All these times and I didn't know it was you who compiled the list.

@elem: Haha, yep it's me. I thought I emailed you and told you that that was my site. Or maybe I thought I did but didn't. Hmmmm...

Atelier Zitron just emailed me back - fortunately, because I never would have found the shop that stocks their stuff. They didn't explicitely say that those shops have the Trekking Pro Natura though. Anyways, one shop is near U-Bahn stop Fraunhoferstrasse, it's on Ohlmüllerstrasse 10 and I think it's called "Die Handarbeitsstubn". I read somewhere on Toytown that the opening hours are a bit strange, on Friday it would be 9-1 and 3-6. The second shop that stocks Zitron is in Erding, so it's a bit out of the way.
Does anyone want to yarn-crawl to Ohlmüllerstrasse with me?

@kks: Yeah, you might have mentioned it once...or I think you did but maybe you didn't.

@regan: Okay...well, we'll see on Friday whether we still have time to get there then.

@regan: you might want to call because the last time i went there, their hours were M - Th 10 - 13, 14 - 18. i didn't see any trekking, but that doesn't mean they didn't have any!

@kks: Thanks for the notice! When was the last time you were there? Is the shop nice, any good?

@regan: I went last year sometime. The shop is REALLY small, but it is really packed with yarns. I thought they had a better selection than the other yarn stores, and the woman was friendly. Here are some pictures.

@kks: I mean another shop... the link you posted sent me to "Die Wolle" on Müllerstrasse, but I had "Die Handarbeitsstub'n" on Ohlmüllerstrasse in mind. I've been to "Die Wolle" before once but didn't want to go back there... at least not on my own, I think I'm too scared that a shelf with yarn might collapse on me and nobody would find me...

@regan: i just realized that this is a different store. the one i'm thinking of is on müllerstr. and not ohlmüllerstr!

yep.
Are you crawling along tomorrow?

@SnBers: Okay, final calling for Yarn-Crawl tomorrow:

When: Tomorrow Friday, 11th May afternoon at 2 p.m.
Where: Start off with Wollkorb at Sendlinger Tor as usual. Meeting at Sendlinger Tor, at the Gate itself.
Who: Elemmaciltur, regan, g24

I wish! But:

1) I already spent way too much money on yarn
2) I don't have babysitting
3) I will buy yarn and ignore #1

Have fun! Let me know what yarns they have and what hours they're open and I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

@kks: What a shame...but can we count on seeing you this Sunday?

@elem: yes, i should be there this sunday unless something catastrophic comes up (like getting sick yet AGAIN).

@kks: You better be there...

...and:

*GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!*

I just received my invitation to RAVELRY!!! *happy dance*

(I really am squeeing and dancing around in my apartment...and well, the neighbour just thumped the floor, i.e. my ceiling *oops*)

aargh! Still trying to get a babysitter!

YARN-CRAWL, So, we're meeting at Sendlinger Tor @ 2 p.m. I'll see g24 and regan there. If anybody else wants to join, just come along!

Oh no I would have loved to go yarn shopping yesterday... Ah well. See you all tomorrow hopefully.

@Elemmaciltur:
I will arrange leaving home a bit early, and arrive the cafe in time, but since I'm not familiar with Munich yet, so there is a possiblity that I go out of wrong exit and be late a few munites. Anyway, I will be there tomorrow, see you all soon.

@Awa: No probs. We'll be there.

@Bonnie: I'm on my way, bringing my Happy Hooker with me just in case you need it. See you soon!

Thanks for EM bringing the extra stuff(so nice of you)! and thanks for the two patient 'teachers'. , I had a nice afternoon with you all.
Report: my first work. No, not the flowers, see the dark part.

Next Sunday I will go to another city, so I would like to come again in the next next Sunday if there is another meet.

Geez, SnBers, you guys are not posting or what? Well, it's always so much fun entertaining the thread by myself.

Awa, well, hope to see you the week after then!

Okay, since oh_angela would need to get her stash up and going, we're going to do a yarn crawl again:

What: Yarn Crawl
When: Friday 18th May 2007 starting at 1.30 p.m. (1330 hrs)
Where: We'll meet at the U-Bahn Frauenhoferstrasse at the exit to Baaderstr. There might be quite a bit of walking since I and regan want to go to a very specific LYS. The route will be: Die Handarbeitsstub'n -> (Tram 27) Die Wolle -> Wollkorb @ Sendlinger Tor -> Wolle Roedel -> Beck's Geknopft & Zugenaeht
Who: me, regan

Hopefully oh_angela will be able to make it. Anyone else who wants to join please post and I'll update and confirm the list again by Thursday evening

@EM
I love reading your S & B thread - it's hilarious As you say, you have no problem entertaining it yourself!!

One of these days I'll come along...to bitch at least...that, I am good at

@Elemm: I'm definitely coming, BUT: Die Handarbeitsstubn will be open 9-1 and 3-6. So, no way we can start off there. How about we meet at Marienplatz and turn the whole route around?

I will be able to make it on Friday. See you then!!!

regan's right. We are going to reverse the order of the route then.

What: Yarn Crawl
When: Friday 18th May 2007 starting at 1.30 p.m. (1330 hrs)
Where: We'll meet at the Fischbrunnen @ Marienplatz. The route will be: Beck's Geknopft & Zugenaeht -> Wolle Roedel -> Wollkorb @ Sendlinger Tor -> Die Wolle -> (Tram 27) Die Handarbeitsstub'n
Who: me, regan, oh_angela, kks, alala (probably)

I have uni from 17.30-19.00 hrs. So, if anyone's up for an impromptu stitch session on Friday evening then give me a yell!

Just wanted to say Thanks for your help on the last Yarn crawl!

I've actually not yet started with the stuff I bought!! The shame

Hope you have fun this week!

I want to go yarn crawling... but will still be in school. Dammit. Can't wait for summer break! Would love to ditch all these goofy holidays and get out a week earlier

Hi Everyone!

Just so you know i'll be there too! Dorthee sent me the link so i'm well up for it as I missed you guys last week. See you at 1.30!

Beth
