Stitch and bitch knitting circle

hello darlings! Eleminowpea, your wool looks absolutely yummy! The reddi-whip cozy was a hit with the chicks here, but I'm not sure the bride really appreciated it. Some people... Hey, do you think I could get away with posting a picture of it in action?

TalksToStrangers, hehe, no I don't think that it's a good idea to post that picture here.

For Aug. 12 meeting -
Hello Nancy - I have the Vogue knitting mags.
You wanted Hope to see you today! (Lovely day for knitting!)

Just wait until I can get my hands on some rovings.

You know, one of these days, I'm just going to tell Editor Bob to delete this thread, since it seems that nobody takes any interest in PUTTING ANY CONTENT in it apart from me, let alone that NOBODY EVER SIGNS UP any more (Kala's the exception today)...

Yes, I'm feeling quite hurt on those accounts.

That said...

no! don't ditch the thread! I made mittens... one is significantly bigger than the other. Not sure what happened to my gauge as both were knitted on same needles, etc. Crazy. Is anyone going to the meet on Sunday? xxTTS

hi, sooo im new to munich, well, i lived here for a year, left for a year, and am back. i guess im just new to tt, anywho, i would love to join stitch and bitch! is it going on this sunday?? i also have a friend who would like to come, is that alright?

howdyitsjessica, Sure, would be great to meet you and your friend. Have you got anything to start on?

Hello? Is this thing on?!

There will be no SnB on Sunday 23rd September 2007, since we'll be in Benediktbeuern!

where is everybody?! ellominopeee, if we promised to be there, would you bring your hank to ball winding thingy, please?

I'll be heading out to the textile market in Vaterstetten next Saturday (13th October) with Alala. Anybody interested in joining us?

Vaterstetten was fun.

And entertaining the thread all by myself is super-fun, too. NOT!

I came to Stitch and Bitch a few times in the spring, and it was a very nice group. Sundays just always happen to be challenging, but I'm hoping to make it back in the winter.

In the meanwhile, does anyone know whether any of the yarn shops here in Munich have a similar weekly event, perhaps during the week? I have this crazy notion that it may help me improve my German.

I hurt my back badly this summer and had to not spend hours sitting up. (boy, have I been bored!!!) I've got lots of projects on, including the last ones I was working on, and I'm hoping to finally make it this week. I even signed up!

Ahhhh...okay. See you this Sunday!

Hopefully now that the weather's getting colder again, people will be coming back to SnB.

Oops, yes! Vaterstetten was fun! Sorry, I don't check the thread often because I can't be in Munich on Sundays, but yeah we had a good time in Vaterstetten and y'all should've come too!

Lookey at what I've finished:

Swallowtail Shawl

Start: 15th September 2007
Finish: 17th October 2007
Yarn: Sheepaints MariSilk (70% silk, 30% seacell), "Elvegrass"
Needles: Addi Lace, 3.5 mm - 80 cm (US#4 - 32")
Pattern: Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn A. Clark from Interweave Knits Fall 2006

See you all tomorrow!

Yes Vaterstetten was a lot of fun. Sorry - i don't check this thread very often so didn't write earlier! To make up for it, here's a quick snap of my new yarn i got there from Wollmeise at Vaterstetten:
Handgefärbte Merino-Lammdochtwolle, 100% Schnurwolle, 23,5 Microns, 100g
Colour: Raku-Regenbogen

The shawl above is gorgeous - nice work. My new wool is going to be made into a good ol' trusty scarf till i can advance to more intimidating and fancy looking things... like shawls!

I have a technical question: can somebody from the group actually coach me?
I have all the gear, made about 2 scarfs in my whole life, but would like to try to get better. The pictures I have seen posted are from another league that's for sure!!

Would like to join here and there when not traveling... just would need some help as I don't even remember how to start a scarf! ;-)

Andy 14, just pop around to the group when you're in town on Sundays. We'll help you out starting a scarf!

I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT!

My first finished (as in, off the needles, finished) project in over a decade. I think it's been 11 years. It's the scarf that's my husband's cristmas present, and I'd do a photo if my husband didn't have the camera with him.

*happy happy dancing*

(yes, I finished it, and sat down here to type about it.)

@Aelfwynn, congrats! BTW, I don't think I'll be able to come around to play with your Kromski this weekend. Maybe next weekend. We'll see.

Ok. Remind me to give you directions before then. See you sunday!

Hey! I signed up to say that I was coming today...but be warned I am absolutuly HORRIBLE at crocheting! But I try my best! You can all make fun of me when I arrive...oh and ps My "Blanket" is really ugly aka Bright Blue and Green!! How long do people tend to stay at the cafe for?? Well I look forward to meeting you guys! and try not to laugh at me too much

@Bethany88: Looking forward to seeing you later today! We stay until different hours, depending on whether you have anything to do afterwards, who you are with, etc., etc.

Okay, I know that I'm signed up for this weekend, but I'm not sure if I'll come. I'm having an RSI flare-up in my right hand and can't do any knitting, crochet, or handsewing for the duration. I may drop by for just a little while to chat, but I may find it too depressing a thought.

Grrrrrr...I won't be there this Sunday. The colleague who's supposed to be taking over my shift can't make it. So I'll have to work. You guys have fun. But please tell me if none of you will turn up so that I can tell Cafe Mondial.

Hello? Is this thing on?

*cough* *cough* *cough*

I'm sick, I won't be there this week...

*cough* *cough* *cough*

Oh, look, a lung...

I'm coming this sunday - might need some help finishing off my nice new scarf - its all going horribly wrong in the last row and cast off! Please help!

Hello,

I have just arrived in Munich and this group sound like fun.

I'd love to pop along, I am a crochetter. Is this event still on for Sunday?

@Lemonade: Yup, we're on. Just pop along.

I would like to join you this eve. I'd love to learn to knit... don't have any supplies. I am hoping to meet some cool crafters and learn.

Sierra: Looking forward to seeing you later on. I'll bring something along for you to play with.

Hi everyone, this is caruba (the red-haired one ) and I have a few pictures from today's Stitch 'n' Bitch. Now I am personally not a fan of posting pictures of people publicly online, so! If you want them, just shoot me a private message or contact me on ravelry with your email address, and I shall email them to you! It's only 3 or so, so don't worry about your inbox!

Ooooh this is exactly what I'm looking for except I live in Hamburg... does anyone know of similar groups in Hamburg???

I don't know one in Hamburg...why don't you just start one?

So, who's coming this Sunday? We're doing the organisation for the cook night!

I'm planning to come tonight to the stitching group. It will be my first time. Do I just show up with a project?

Meee!

Yes, just come around with your project. :-)

So, who else is going to be there tonight?

meeeeee!

No SnB today! (30.12.2007) Have a great New Year!

Look, I have a new toy:

Yay for spinning wheels!

In other news, I probably won't be there this weekend (my father-in-law's birthday), but next weekend should be a go. I'm starting that new scarf, too, finally.

*Knock, knock*

Where the heck are all of you? Or should I ask Bob to close down the thead?

I'm in the middle of arranging a Nachmieter and moving at the end of the month. If I can be, I'll be there this week.
