Knitting in the library!

I was so excited when I heard about a new venture at Uni that I ran down the corridor and up the stairs straight to the library to book myself on to an 'Inspirational Knitting for Students' day workshop that will be taking place later this month. I had no idea that the librarians were secret knitters, and not only have they arranged this workshop with Suzie Johnson, but they've decided to set up a knit and stitch club every week starting in November.

I could KISS them it's made me so happy! What i'm not so happy about is the fact that the club is timetabled for when i'm in lectures, but i'm hoping that there may be a way round this. As the weather is turning so grim I have been feeling the urge to take up knitting again, and the thought of meeting people at Uni who want to knit too is really exciting. God I never thought i'd be this excited about KNITTING!

I'm also excited about wrapping up things at The Mythical Beast Sweet Shoppe- just two more days to go and then I hand over the key and return the sweets to their rightful owners. The exhibition at Frou Frou ends this weekend too, so if you haven't been able to see it then you've got one last chance to get along and see work by Cathy Cullis, Karen Ruane, Lou Trigg and Joetta Maue (and me), it really does look stunning and I hope it's the first of many collaborations with Rebecca the shop owner.

Hi Laura- yes it's very exciting! It's in the Uni library building, not the town one, but i'll keep you posted. I also discovered that there is a knitting group run by Suzie Johnson in her home, somewhere in Weston once a month- a mysterious world of westonian knitters that I didn't know existed!
