Ah...fall is in the air. Nights are getting cooler. Thoughts of warm wool socks, cozy sweaters and funky yet practical hats lure many a knitter back to their stash after a brief summer hiatus. Stitch n' Bitch is starting to pick up again. New faces, new projects, new wacky stories becoming part of the rich oral history of an ever changing group.
Lots has happened since the early days when my dear friend Karrie and I hung up a poster at Wownet Digital Cafe advertising the very first Stitch n' Bitch and three people showed up. To our amazement, more stitchers showed up week after week and many of them actually stuck around! We've had knitters of all levels and abilities, crocheters, quilters, rug hookers and embroidery artists visit us. Children, grandmothers and dogs have joined our circle. Conversation topics have run the gamut from politics, marriage, and pop culture to piercings, road trips, and of course, sex!
All this and two solid hours of undisturbed knitting with no dishes in the sink calling out to me...how can I resist?
