The Knitting Bee
Monday, January 17th, 2005Tags: Events
It has been decided. Our first knitting bee will be on Wednesday (that’s the 19th) at 8pm. It can be at my place or an alternate, hipper location if people wish. BYOYarn, needles can be provided in limited quantities if you don’t have any.
The guest list: Eve, Jo, Adrienne (?), Kelly, Liz, Alison, Hilary, Jason, … ???
Any name suggestions for this shindig (for example, “Kool Knitterz Party Jam” or “Purl Party 2006″) are welcome. More information will be posted once more stuff is figured out. This party is GO!
Could you recommend a particular brand/type of yarn? I’m a little new to the pastime.

Meh, just go for the cheapest stuff that still feels softish against your skin. Most of the yarn you can buy around Kingston is 100% acrylic, unfortch, but it’s inexpensive and you can get it in all kinds of wacky forms. Bernat is pretty trustable; you can get it at Walmart or S&R, among other places. Worsted is the most common yarn weight.
