Hello Bees!

I'm looking to destash and I wanted to start locally before listing my yarn on Ravelry's destash page. I'm posting photos and prices under the cut, so please let me know if you're interested in anything and I can bring it to the next knit night. Thanks!

( To the yarn! )

I am just wondering if anyone is going to Portland Sock Summit? Has anyone been to one before? I am thinking of going but am not sure how relevant it will be to a new sock knitter???

Any thoughts?

Jenn

Thank you to those who submitted a photo for my little contest I was having during the Fibre Festival weekend. I hope you guys had fun and we'll do it all again next year!

As for the winner, I chose this little gal who tried a loom for the first time and had to be dragged away from it! She loved it so much! She definitely had a "love affair" (the theme of course) with a new fibre art.

Hello Mary!

Unfortunately, I will not be at knitting tonight. I have come down with the flu and will even be missing the girls end of year play! I promise, promise, promise I will be there next week! Have a great night!

It's the annual Victoria Fibre Festival and this year the Bitchy Bees are at it again! Time to organize your knitting queue and get ready for stash enhancement!

• 9am Knotty By Nature


• 10am Beehive


• 11am Button & Needlework Boutique


• 12pm Canoe Brewpub for a Beer Knitting Lunch (There isn't a reservation, so look for the group of knitters outside - if the weather holds up otherwise we'll be inside.)

Hey, gang.
Just wondering if anyone happens to have a copy of Vogue Knitting's Knit.1 from Fall 2004.  I'm looking specifically for Kathy Zimmerman's "#09 Man's Zippered Jacket" www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/09-mans-zippered-jacket
Anybody have it to lend out briefly?

Thanks a lot!
Carolyn

It's the only day that really works for me to well er work.
Anyways, keep in touch, and keep on knitting! I'll see you soon :-)

You may also bring a skein or two of your own undyed or lightly dyed yarn for dyeing (must be at least 70% animal fibre).

 This livejournal thing is great but with all these cryptic login names, etc. I've no idea who is who.
My own is pretty easy:

Becksgw is Becky, the ex-pat Aussie who comes and goes on an irregular basis and has become addicted to circular needles.

seeing this is a closed group anyway, can we make it a little easier to recognize one another.  I haven't added to my list of friends in a year because I don't recognize anyone.

There was some discussion Tuesday about if Khona would be closing early today (friday) since it's Easter Friday.
I just called, and they are not - they are open until 8pm as usual.

Hope to see you there - 6-8pm regular time.
