We found ...Yes, I have a wonderful knitting group. We found each other on Ravelry and have been knitting together for almost 2 years now. Before I met everyone, I kept knitting scarves, because I was too scared to try anything new. I was inspired by the lace knitters, sock knitters, and sweater knitters. I easily moved into those other areas of knitting because I had the support of my knit group! I go into withdrawal if I can't vent and chat and knit with them every Friday night. :) Your post hit home for me, I know how you feel! I don't know what other knitgroups are like, but my group loves new knitters to join. If anyone is in Inland Empire Southern California, please feel free to join the Friday night Redlands Knitting Group. :)Tina Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060694849747898049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-57049709527707388182009-11-15T17:27:55.261-05:002009-11-15T17:27:55.261-05:00Knitting group is a great place to see my buddies,...Knitting group is a great place to see my buddies, meet new knitters and learn from other people... I missed the last two myself and it feels very much like my weeks were incomplete. I am lucky, I have two nights to choose to knit on. We made our own, because we couldn't get out to the other ones. Too early in the day for us working stiffs, or too far to go. <br /><br />Sorry to hear of your loss.

I keep mean...oh, that's sad about little Mats.<br /><br />I keep meaning to join a regular knit group, but I never have- there isn't' one in my neighbourhood, and the ones I would like are quite the trek across the city. I like knitting at home, anyways. I don't mind knitting alone. :)<br /><br />- JulieTeam Knithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312254786188352620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-80902070513496324332009-11-12T10:21:19.416-05:002009-11-12T10:21:19.416-05:00Sorry to hear about Mats :(

I know what you mean, its so nice to have other knitters around who understand the yarn obsessions and dropped stitches.neferatowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234870192083417043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-1792584210358638412009-11-12T09:57:11.767-05:002009-11-12T09:57:11.767-05:00Sorry to hear about Mats! :(

I totally agree with all the points you wrote. And I don't know if I'd enjoy knitting so much if I didn't have that "in real life" knitting support. :)Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355795828488119837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-54742425308295061642009-11-12T07:04:28.090-05:002009-11-12T07:04:28.090-05:00My sympathies on poor Mats' passing!

Every group I've looked at seems so tight knit that I would feel like an interloper. And I only know two other people who knit and we really never talk about it. I'm going to have to join a group though, because my husband just stares at me blankly when I gush about the new cable pattern I came up with (or whatever).Erin Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740698417495064304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-71880663819021499802009-11-11T18:44:57.709-05:002009-11-11T18:44:57.709-05:00There are so many good things about knitting with ...There are so many good things about knitting with others, you're right.

I wasn't an obsessive knitter yet when I planned my wedding, and I have no idea how I would have fit it in had I been. Wedding planning is a full time job!<br /><br />I don't have a regular knit night, but I do have a regular knit group that meets up when we all have time. I agree with your 1-5...also, getting together with my knitting ladies is the only opportunity I have to talk about things like Star Trek! They're my only friends as nerdy as I am. :)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273727983110361664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-36603198463257370502009-11-11T09:13:31.314-05:002009-11-11T09:13:31.314-05:00No, but I wish I did have one.

Not enough knitters in my immediate surroundings, and not enough time to go looking for a completely different group of people - though I might go that way sooner or later.<br /><br />I'm sorry about Mats, he looked quite the accomplished gentleman in that last photograph. :-/Felhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744896678860749973noreply@blogger.com
