Some thoughts...
Hey!
I've been looking for a regular knitting group to join (which isn't easy given my unpredictable work schedule). This past Thursday, I knitted with a nice group at the Del Mar Library that meets the first Thursday of every month. I had fun mostly listening to everyone (there were 6 of us there) and wish that it met more often. I know that a lot of the knitting stores have knit days (have you guys checked out the new Yarning for You website?), but I think I'd feel self conscious about knitting in with a store group and not using their yarn.... There's a Stitch n' Bitch group that meets on Wednesdays at 7 pm, but I always work on Thursdays :-( . They meet at the Oceanside Barnes & Noble. Anyway, I hope to meet with the Del Mar ladies again next month.
Recently, I finished reading Drunk, Divorced & Covered in Cat Hair by Laurie Perry. I also checked out her blog (Crazy Aunt Purl). I loved the book because of her obvious sincerity. She had some very wise things to say. I may not be drunk and divorced, but I'm definitely covered in cat hair, and though happily married, I feel lost at times. (Yes, bad day at work.... Ever notice how men want women to listen to them, but they don't necessarily want to listen to women?) Blogging as Laurie Perry does takes some courage though. I don't think I could share as much so readily (but face to face, I could vent with the best of them).
