How Many?

Just curious, but how many of us belong actively to a crafting group? I run a group at the gallery I work at... If you are an active member of some craft group tell us about it...

    I run the SF Chicks with Sticks which is a knitting group that meets every MOnday at Bliss Bar in Noe Valley. We have 500 people on our email list but about 20-30 show up to knit each week. We have a website www.sfchickswithsticks.com and have been featured on Evening Magazine, in the Oakland Tribune, The Noe Valley Voice and in Stitch n Bitch Nation. But mainly we are a group that just has a great time getting together talking, knitting, crocheting, helping & maybe having a cocktail or two.

    I am starting a fiber group in Oakland, it is for everyone who likes to play with fiber or yarn, I spin and crochet. It will be every monday from 6-9 starting in October at the Rock Paper Scissors Collective on Telegraph and 23rd.

        wheel, drop, knit, crochet, tatting, anyone an everyone who likes to play with fiber string or yarn is welcome. i crochet and spin on wheel and drop spindle. i shear thr bunnies every three month and I get about three ounces off each at a time. So per bunnie that is about 12 ounces a year. Maybe more, I am actually trying to sell them if you know anyone who is interested. I am also trying to sell my 1970's spinning wheel with a large orafice. Photos are in my profile.

    I wonder if there is any group in the south bay. I feel so alone!

      You shouldn't feel alone, you can always start a group of your own. The best way to find out about a group or to start one in your area, is to inquire at your local yarn shop. The are usually pretty helpful.
