SoS: Third Gathering

Tomorrow will be the third gathering of the SoS. I will NOT be attending. I have a project due on Friday and it's taking far too long.

Also, I will not be around for next week's gathering. I have a previous engagement.

SoS: second gathering

The second gathering of Sip of Stitch was last night.

Christine came again with her entre-lac stole. And Shandra (new this week) was there working on her 2nd monkey sock. Man, those socks looked cozy!

Sip or Stitch: First Gathering!

Last night we had our first Sip or Stitch Gathering. Three people came. It was very pleasant to sit and craft with others doing the same.

Jerry brought his spinning wheel and that was fascinating to watch. He also had this really soft yarn that he was making into a sweater. It was a lovely green as well as being super soft.

Debbie (Jerry's wife) had a really graceful way of knitting.

Christine was working on this gorgeous entre-lac blanket.

I didn't notice, but apparently Jerry was getting a lot of stares while he was spinning. He didn't seem to mind.

Oh, and my tea was tasty.

Sip or Stitch is a go! :)

I went up to Coffee Bean last night to ask about having the SoS gatherings there. They are totally cool with it and very welcoming.

They were rather busy last night (a Thursday), so I asked if Tuesdays were slower. The barista said that Tuesdays were slower nights than Thursdays. I take that to imply that it will be less crowded on Tuesdays, so I'm going to go up on Tuesday with my sign and my "cards" and see what happens.

I'm also going to announce my gathering on ravelry.com and maybe create a yahoo group (if I can figure that thing out).

EDIT:
Yahoo Group created!

SoS: Sip or Stitch

I want to start a crafting group at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf near my house.

I'm planning to go up and discuss it with a shift manager tomorrow night at 7:30. That is also the time that I'm hoping the gatherings would start. Will also give me a chance to see how busy they are at that time. If they are terribly busy, I don't want to crowd the restaurant.

After I get permission, I'm planning to go up there with a sign to place on my table. Maybe some "business" cards with my name and email address on them. And of course my craft projects. :)
