New Knitting Place!

Hello Knitters!

It's been a while since I last updated this blog because we've been pretty status quo with Espresso Royale. But as of last week, we have changed spots! Here is all the information:

Panera Bread
1765 W Kirby Ave
Champaign, IL
(217) 355-9885

5:30p - 8pm

As usual, people tend to trickle between 5:30p-6:30p. It is very informal, people come and go as they please, and most often we stick around until 9pm! :-)

If you are a new participant and have any questions, please feel free to write me at chambana.snb@gmail.com or my personal email at sillybluefrog@yahoo.com. It would be great if you can email and let me know you are coming for the first time so we can be on the lookout for you!

See you guys tomorrow!

SnB April 17, 2009

Hello knitters!

As many of you know, we've been trying different places each week for the past couple of months. We're thinking of extending the time per place now that we have a good idea of most of the locations that have been suggested. So, until further notice, we'll be meeting at the following place:

Espresso Royale
1117 W. Oregon St.
Urbana, Illinois 61801
217.337.6160

We're thinking anywhere from 4-5 weeks per spot, and of course the floor is open for suggestions to try out new places that you think might promote a great SnB environment!

Hope to see you there!

SnB April 3, 2009

Hello Ladies!

For the next SnB, we're adding an Eastern flair by trying out a fairly new Indian fast food joint!

Here's the info:

Friday, April 3, 2009 @ 5:30pm

Zyggyz
410 E. Green St.
Champaign, IL 61820

http://www.zyggyz.com

This place isn't located right on the street like a lot of the other places on Green St., it is in like a little alcove. Look for the Pizza Hut on Green (Green and 4th I believe), and it is directly across the street from it. Look for green awnings with 'Zyggyz' written on it. The closest parking I can seem to find is usually behind "LaBamba" restaurant on 6th and Springfield, unless you're lucky enough to find metered parking that's closer!!

A quick reminder for those of you interested, Knitting Circle is tomorrow (3/30/09)! More information can be found in the post I put up before the last one (hope that didn't confuse you! :-))

Hope to see you at both!

118 N. Neil St.
