Getting Started
« on: September 16, 2007, 07:50:46 PM »
Well, I guess since I asked for it, I might as well start it.

I was hoping to get together a Knitting/Crochet group that would get together every so often. Basically just knit and talk. 

There is a stitch 'n bitch group that meets in downtown dallas, and that is just way too far to go.  I was hoping to get something started closer to Anna.  Maybe meet someplace either here in Anna, or in McKinney.

Any takers?

You have picked one of the few things (crafty) that I know NOTHING about!

Sounds like a good idea though.  I know there is a sewing circle that meets in The Falls.  I think they are established though or I would be trying to get in on that one...

At Michaels in Mckinney I know that Tuesday night there was such a class.  You could pay for a few lessons and after a few lessons you could come and not pay anything.  It was a club that they had going on.  Now I dont know if they still do this. 
But yeah I would like to join.

Why pay?  I can teach people to knit or crochet if they are interested. 
As for a sewing circle?  I was thinking more of a quilting bee.  But that involved hand sewing.

Well the nice thing about the Michaels thing is after I took my 4 classes I could come back and just hang out and knit for two hours every Tuesday and get help if I needed.  But at the same time because we were there we got a discount for all our knitting stuff. 

But I can understand what you are saying.  I was telling you about what I knew around Mckinney.  Yes it was a club but you had to take a few classes first. 
But not paying works for me! :)

I have not knitted or crocheted in a long time. I have gotten into quilting.  But I could bring needle work along.  You need day or night?

Needlework would be more then welcome. It might inspire me to start embroidery again. 

I need evenings myself.  I work in Plano and have school on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings.

Otherwise, I'm pretty open.

One thing that needs to be decided: where to meet.

We could all sit round the pool area as long as weather permits. otherwise, we could swap houses.  Whoever hosts could serve milk and cookies. lol   I personally prefer coffee.  But snacks of some sort.

Wouldn't it be great to have a party room at the pool area for just such things?  Then we could add a weight/exercise room and have our own instructors and then we could add massage and coffee bars later.  But it would be nice to have a group place year round.

I will offer to host the first get together as long as everyone is comfortable with a lot of kids, cats and dogs :)

I would like to start with crocheting/knitting.  Everyone in my family has crocheted and I would love to pick it up.  I know the beginners basics and that is it.

We make animals out of cucumbers and matchsticks.  We could learn someone interested.  Melvin thinks we should charge.  I just smack him in the head with fresh possum pelts they are covered in stank.

I love the idea of a quilting bee, but I doubt time will permit until my 8 month old say --- enters Pre-K! lol. For a while, I've wanted to make a quilt from all the t-shirts we've acquired over the years. They are very sentimental, and I've seen some cool quilts made from t-shirts.

We have a house full of kids, I am sure that I can bribe one of them (or my DH) into playing with the baby while you sit and stitch with us :)
