Knitting is cool

I sort of kind of kickstarted a knitting group. I am so proud. I met a girl through yahoo groups who lives nearby and we got together last thursday to stitch and bitch. and she was cool. and not granola-crunchy-knit-a-complicated-lace-top-with-matching-leggings kind of girl. yippie for me!!

Since i've noticed that I need some new friends. and some local friends at that. I am committing myself to meeting some local people and doing some more local things. I really don't want to be schlepping downtown to have fun.

I was so proud of myself for starting this up and then on Saturday I was knitting at my yard sale (wow, how cool am I) and a girl came over to chat about knitting. Did I ask her to join our new group? Of course not.

sigh. I'm trying. really, I am.
