@regan: Sure. See you at 1700hrs tomorrow!
Ok, I will be there on Sunday this week. I'll be bringing along a few quilting books, since there seems to be increasing interest.
edit: I forgot to mention that I picked up a book called "Knitting with fabric" if anyone's interested in taking a look at it.

Okay, just want to throw this in...but anyone interested in going to Michael Bublé's concert in October with me?
SnBers, I'd been trying to ring up Cafe Mondial to reserve a table the whole day today, but they're not answering the phone. Don't know what's happening. I'll pop around tomorrow to see if there's anything and will keep you posted just in case we might have to drop the meeting this week. So, check back to see if there's any change.
@SnBers, Stitch 'n Bitch session for Sunday 3rd June 2007 takes place as normal. See y'all tomorrow.
(Apparently Cafe Mondial was having some renovation done this week and the worker accidentally cut off the phone line...*LOL*)

But I'm glad it's on for tomorrow. See you there!

Elemm, do you know if Miss CashmAcrylic and kks will be there tomorrow? I got their copies done and I thought about popping in.
@regan, Cashyie should be here, but kks won't, her folks are in town.
I'm coming this afternoon, see you soon.
@Awa, YAY! Would be great to see you!
See y'all there!
See y'all there!
*Woohoo!!!* The article on Brigitte.de that I gave the interview for is now up online! Go and read it HERE (in German).
This Saturday is World Wide Knit In Public Day (WWKIP-Day), since most of you guys are away, I'm just going to do something impromptu, here's what I have in mind:
Meet at Odeonsplatz (at the Feldherrnhalle - that huge Logia monument thingee) at 11 a.m. And we can decide where we want to go. I'm thinking about English garden (Seehaus) if the weather's nice out. If not, we can decide to go to a cafe from there on! Hope to see you lots there. Please tell me if you're coming!
And sign-up for Sunday!

I'd come on Saturday, but only if it's close to my house... have some work to do and not too much time. And I don't want to spend the time I have in the U-Bahn... that's why I'm suggesting Café Marais, Parkstrasse 2, in Westend (at least for a little while). Here is an article on the café (in German), with a picture. There's also a Strassenfest going on in Westend on Saturday.
What do you guys think?
What do you guys think?
@Regan, can't, because we've announced it on the podcast...so the meeting place have to be central...besides, it should be where EVERYBODY can see us.
I didn't mean the meeting place should change. You said something about going to a café after meeting at Odeonsplatz, so I thought why not there? The weather forecast says sunshine for Saturday, so we could sit outside the place.
@regan, well the cafe's not central...because we want [i]everybody[/b], like random people walking downtown seeing us. I think we're just going to go sit and knit at the steps of Feldherrnhalle.
What time are you meeting now anyways? Your post says 11, the podcast says 11.30. And do you really plan on staying at Feldherrnhalle? I mean, it's a good meeting place because it's central, but it's probably not the most comfortable place to sit and knit for a few hours.
@regan, we'll meet at 11.30 a.m. We'll try the Feldherrnhalle first...but maybe we'll move to somewhere else.
Can't sleep...
Anyway, WWKIP-Day, 09th June 2007...if anybody cares at all. I'll be waiting for whoever wants to come at Odeonsplatz, in front of the Theatinerkirche, at 11.30 a.m. We'll decide where we'd want to go from there, since there's something on the Odeonsplatz as well as the Schwabinger Street Life Festival.

@Bozlem Boy, yeah, thanks for the tip. I don't have any at home though...and well, the reason why I can't sleep isn't something I'm about to discuss here either.
If you haven't seen this...it's finished!

Started: 11th May 2007
Finished: 09th June 2007
Needles: 3 mm / 60 cm Inox circs
Yarn: Rohrspatz & Wollmeise sock yarn, "Drachenblut"
Pattern: Clementine Shawlette by Michele Rose Orne from Interweave KNITS Spring 2007
I used about 0.75 of the yarn, so I still have a quite a bit left. The pattern said that it should be blocked lightly to the size of 10 3/4" wide and 57 1/4" long. However, I totally blocked it out and I get 13" wide and 71" long...I quite like it blocked out like this. ;-)

Hi - I'm new to Munich and would love to meet up with you on Sunday. I will sign the sheet, but wanted to introduce myself also. Looking forward to meeting you!

@ab franz, Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday! Have you got stuff to knit/crochet? If not, say so and I'll bring some extras for you to play with!
I am all set - I have two knitting projects going at the moment (haven't gotten much done lately because I don't seem to knit much in the heat). Thank you very much for offering though. I will see you Sunday!

SnBers, tomorrow we'll have to probably sit in another corner of Cafe Mondial than our usual corner, since the Cafe needs that half for a big reservation. So, when you come in, just either ask the staff where the Knitting Group is, or look around for me, I should be there on time...give or take that the block seminar session tomorrow doesn't hold surprises like today's one. See y'all tomorrow!
SnBers, Where are y'all?!!
I slipped a disc in my spine this weekend. So that's where I was, flat on my back in bed on mega-painkillers. I don't know when I'll be able to sit up long enough to come, even. I will post a picture of the quilt top when I finish sewing it (it's being switched to hand-sewing so I can work on it while I'm laid up), if I can get ahold of a digital camera.
I'd like to come along on Sunday and do some knitting...or I've also got some crochet on the go.
Will you definitely be there this week ? Are you there every week ?

@mapuce, why does your name sounds familiar? Yeah, we're there this weekend. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Knock knock, anybody home?!
Hi! I'm new to Germany, and new to knitting, so I'd love to join. Any suggestions on where I can pick up some yarn and needles? I'm down in Unterhaching... and haven't had the opportunity to shop much yet
Hi Kerri,
I'd suggest Wolle Rödel, on Rosental 9 near the Viktualienmarkt. That's where I started out. I'll be in Munich tomorrow if you want to meet up and go check it out.

That sounds great, depending on how late it's open... I'm stuck in a training class until probably 5:30 in Oberhaching. Is the store open after 6?
@kerri416, The LYSs here are opened until 7 p.m. So, if you can jet back down to Munich fast enough, you should have a bit of time left for the LYS. If not, I'm usually free. So, if you're interested and have time on some other days, I can organise a yarn crawl, too.
I was able to make it into Munich on time - and Alala helped me out with the yarn and needle selection... then I got my very first knitting lesson
I hope to join tomorrow... as long as I manage to get my laundry done in time

kerri416, Hope to see you there tomorrow!
No laundry to do... no torrential downpour in the forecast... things are looking good
kerri416, great to have met you yesterday evening. Hope to see you again in a couple of weeks!
Congrats, honeys, you have a big write-up in the Süddeutsche Zeitung today:

Die coole Masche
Stricken ist kein Oma-Kitsch mehr: Zu Besuch bei Victors Handarbeitskreis "Stitch 'n Bitch"
Von Christina Kretschmer
An jedem Sonntag treffen sie sich um 17 Uhr in einem Haidhauser Cafe, egal bei welchem Wetter: Immer sitzen sie in derselben Ecke des hohen Raumes, mal zu viert, mal zu zwölft. Sie nennen ihre Gruppe "Stitch 'n Bitch" und das beschreibt ziemlich genau, was sie in den kommenden Stunden tun. Die jungen Frauen und Männer, fast alle Anfang 20, fast alle sogenannte Expats - ständig im Ausland lebende englischsprachige Menschen - holen nacheinander eine Tasche mit ihrer angefangenen Handarbeit heraus, bestellen sich ein Getränk und dann geht es los. Sehr lebhaft wird von der vergangenen Woche erzählt, gelästert und nebenher entstehen unter ihren Händen Schals, Mützen, Socken, Decken - und was sich sonst noch mit Nadel und Faden herstellen lässt.

@Sarabyrd, zee: Thanks! I knew about it already. The writer interviewed me about a month ago and she rang me up yesterday about it.
Just to bump the thread:

oooh, pretty!
I won't be there this week --have to go visit my mother-in-law, who just had surgery, but next week I plan on being there, since I can finally sit up long enough!

Great to see everyone there yesterday.
Teddy is born! Though he hasn't yet opened his eyes... He has the perfect floppy head, Mr Bean would so approve.

And OMG!!! I dyed my own yarns today!!! Look at how they turned out:

I'm going to Dachau today...so I might be a tad late coming to SnB. There will be some new people coming, so please look after them if I'm not there yet. I'll probably have some people tagging along with me.
See y'all later!
