Tuesday 25 September 2007

And a date has been set!

The very first meeting of this group is soon going to take place! Few people could be more excited about this than I am (honestly, few people other than me actually know about this)

In any case, over to the essentials:

Where: Café SubScene Which is located near the town centre, Kirkegata 34.
How: By bus, bike, legs, airplane, boat, horse or camel.
When: Tuesday 2nd of October, after 7 pm.
Why: Because it is a lot of fun!
What to bring: Yarn, knitting needles. Other needles, a happy mood (or not, that is up to you!) friends, family, possibly your ferret if you have one.

Hope to see you there!

Monday 24 September 2007

And so it all began

One day I woke up realizing that although I had not yet been able to find a knitting café in Oslo, that was not a reason for me not to start a new knitting café.

So what is this all about then? It's about knitting together, or crocheting, or embroidering or anything else you want to do in a public setting which is reasonably portable. It is about talking and sharing ideas, hiding from the cold, drinking tea and coffee and eating snacks. About giving book reviews and film reviews and reviews of any kind really (if that is your thing) Mainly it is about meeting people with similar interests though.

By meeting at different cafés around town (or maybe the same?) and just writing when and where anyone can show up. Sometimes 2 people, sometimes 20. There is no pressure in it at all, just fun!

So, come join me!

PS: the reason I'm writing in English is that my Norwegian is honestly rather poor (as I'm from Sweden) and you never know who wants to join in all the fun!
