Thirty Something Hobbies

I went to our first knitting group tonight - in Starbucks coffee bar in Borders bookshop - when I got there it turned out that the person organising it couldn't come due to illness or something and they'd tried to cancel it but as we didn't know until we turned up the 11 of us that arrived had a knit anyway! We got free coffee and just had a chat and at the end arranged to meet up in two weeks time whatever happened, so it may get a bit more structure or it may just be a group of us knitting and chatting over coffee - either way it's great, there's only my nan and Maxine (noodlesanddoodles.com) who I know that knit and they're both hundreds of miles from me so just talking about knitting with fellow knitters was great! I'm getting on quite well with my new tank top project although following a pattern with some fairisle and four different yarns whilst trying to follow a conversation with new people was a bit tricky to not make a mistake, I'm used to sitting on my sofa not talking while I knit. I'll post a pic of my progress tomorrow, I'm off to bed now as it's getting late
