an outing

I confess.

I have been part of a secret society. A group of people dedicated to taking over the world and using yarn to create world peace!

Er, not quite...

We're just a group of dedicated knitters (and crocheters) who have been meeting on a regular basis for about a year or more, discussing the craft and creating a platform for development of various techniques. We have all taken turns giving "lectures" on our specialities: fair isle, cables, lace knitting, crochet... We have had guests just joining us for a fun evening or for further educating us in a specific area of interest.

Our name is Sticksalongen, i.e. The Knitting Parlour.

Lately we have been talking about creating a library of patterns, perhaps as a paper publication, perhaps only for download. And right now, this is what is occupying my mind mostly.

I will try to share the process of creating here in my blog over the coming months. So far we haven't set a deadline for our project. But once there is a set date, rest assured I will let you know!

It's way more than one year! I'm quite certain that we've been meeting up since autumn 2008.

Yes, it's probably longer than I remember. I was sort of busy for a while there 08/09 and didn't attend a lot of meetings... ;-)
