I just want to start out by saying “WOW!” and “Thank You!” First for the "WOW" -- we had about 15 people come in last night to Knit Happens! Unfortunately a good number of them escaped before I broke out my camera. It was a perfect mix of newbie, and well seasoned knitters, and I think that everyone left happy, and somewhat addicted! Thank you, happy shiny, fun to be with knitters! It is not easy to come to a new place, and be around new people and confess that you just don’t know where to start and don’t know what to do!
Aren't they cute?
And look how happy knitting made them! I think they are hooked! :-)
We even had two men come in to learn! Kyle and Matt were such good sports, and Brittany was so helpful guiding them along. I am hoping that they all come back to the next meeting to show us their progress!
We even had a spinner! YEY! FYI, she is spinning up some New Zealand roving -- I might just have to take my spindle next time!
Thank you to the seasoned knitters who came to hang out, help, chat, and make new friends!
Here are Kathleen, Christy, and Rachel showing off their yarny afterglow grins! Rachel did not get alot of down time to knit because she was so busy making sure that we were all comfortable, and well fed (thank you so much for the snacks!).
And last, but not least, THANK YOU again, to Rachel for finding us, and giving us a place at the Women’s Center, to bring this all together to make it all possible!
Knit Happens! will take place twice monthly at;
The Women's Resource Center
