Some of you might wonder if the sthlm knitters have fallen off the face of the earth. A valid question. But I am happy to tell you that we haven't! As with many activities, there are ups and downs, and sometime you don't have so much time to spend on the things you want to do.

The point with this knitting group is that it's NOT organized. At least, not a lot. No membership, no requirement to turn up, no strings attached. We have decided on Tuesdays, and you just show up! Hopefully someone else does too, but it varies.

When we first started this knitting group back in April 2004, we met at each other's apartments. It didn't take us long to realize that it's easier for newbies to join if you meet somewhere in public, so we decided on a café. The first three or four times we met at a café in Drottninggatan. This was before smoking was banned in cafés and restauarants in Stockholm, and that place was rather "smokey" so we decided to change venue. We ended up at Gino's coffee in Odengatan. Sometimes there's just a couple of pople there and sometimes it's 20. However, lately we've been thinking about changing venue again for a number of reasons. Some of us are out scouting, so hopefully, we'll find a new place soon to meet up with our requirements.

We'll keep you posted!
