Knit-Wits

We all know what knit means but get a load of what wit means:
–noun
1. the keen perception and cleverly apt expression of those connections between ideas that awaken amusement and pleasure.
2. speech or writing showing such perception and expression.
3. a person having or noted for such perception and expression.
4. understanding, intelligence, or sagacity; astuteness.
5. Usually, wits.
a. powers of intelligent observation, keen perception, ingenious contrivance, or the like; mental acuity, composure, and resourcefulness: using one's wits to get ahead.
b. mental faculties; senses: to lose one's wits

A few of us who have been buying a lot of yarn lately thought maybe it was time to get together and knit instead of shop. At the May meeting it seemed that Thursday was a better nights So a bunch of us from Knit-Lit got together on a couple of Thursdays at a couple of different places to knit. At our June Meeting the group seemed to like Cravings in White Bear Lake the best. It is just off of 61 a little east on County Road E. A good time for all seems to be 6:30.

The Knit-Wits will meet on the 1st and 4th Thursday of the month at Cravings in White Bear Lake.

A member of our group has a dad that had been calling us the Knit-Wits and I loved that name for our subgroup. Anyone can come when they want and leave when they must. There will be no book to read. Just knitting with other knitters. Some of us have dinner some just come for dessert.

Hope to see you on Thusday June 25th at 6:30.

June Meeting

Our June meeting was our last Thursday meeting for the year. For the rest of the year we will be meeting on the second Tuesday of the month.

We had 12 people at our June meeting as we discussed The Free Range Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. There were great questions and it helped us get to know each other better.

Several of us got out and knit on National Knit In Public Day this year and maybe we could all get together and knit someplace next year.

Hope you are all out knitting in the beautiful weather.

May Meeting

At the May we talked about meeting on the First and Fourth Thursday of the month. Those of us who do Knit-Lit and MKG thought it would be fun to have time to knit with each other on our off weeks. Thursday seemed to work out for most of the people. We also thought it would be fun to meet someplace besides the library. We love the library but it would be nice not to have to set up and take down. The two most likely places seemed to be Cafe Cravings on County Road E and Panera on White Bear Ave. So Thursday the 28th those that want to are going to meet at Cafe Cravings on County Road E at 6:30, or when you can. Then on Thursday the 4th of June those that can will meet at the Panera on White Bear Avenue also at 6:30. Then at our June meeting we would talk about which we like best.

At the June meeting we will be knitting and talking about Free Range Knitter.

May Meeting

Just a reminder that this month and next are not on Tuesday but Thursday.
We will be meeting on Thursday May 14th and will be talking about Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber.

The last month has been filled with great yarn come oportunities so come and share how your month has been.

Then in June we will be meeting on Thursday the 11th and will talk about Free Range Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.

April Meeting

Knit Lit on April 14th starts a exciting week for knitters. At our April meeting we will be reading Back On Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber.

The week ends with Yarn Over. Minnesota Knitters Guild sponsors a day long knitting Extravaganza.

Before and after Yarn Over the teachers that are coming for Yarn Over will be at local yarn stores. So check with your favorite yarn store to see if they are having a teacher coming to their store.

March Meeting

During the March Meeting it was fun to see the Knit-Lit Friendship Scarves that had been finished and those that were in progress.

During the meeting we discussed upcoming books and instead of voting in April, like we usually do, we just through out book titles and we went with those. You will find them posted in the upcoming books section.

March Meeting

Have you started your Friendship knitting project? If so bring it to the March meeting for show and share. I just finished my Friendship Scarf. I didn't use all the yarn so I may make a hat or something else to go with it.

March 10th we will be discussing A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber.

Hope to see you there.
