Fall Meetings: We will be meeting the Shockoe Room each Thursday at noon,
for the fall semester except:
September 14th (no space available -- we can just cancel that week or
find another place)
November 23rd (Thanksgiving)
December 21st (building closed for winter break)

Hope that every one has had a great summer!!!

Summer Meetings

Since the Commons is rather quiet during the summer, our meetings will move to the comfy couches outside the Shockoe Room, starting May 18th.

The May 11th meeting will still follow the spring schedule. And while we had the Metro Room booked, they've been putting us in Shockoe the past few weeks, so look for us there first!

Spring Meeting Locations/Times

Knit Wits will remain on Thursdays at 12 noon for the Spring 2006 semester. However, all meetings will now take place in the Commons Metro Room, located on the first floor of the Commons, across from the Forum Room.

Quilt Repair

Not knitting related but I know that some of you are quilters. Wanted to pass on the word about CRAZY QUILT on Cary St. On January 20th they are having a "quilt repair" day - Bring your damaged or unfinished quilt or heirloom textile for free consultation. Open appointments available 8 am to 8 pm. Free pick up & delivery. Located at 2117 West Cary Street. For more info, email Jean at richmondseamstress@yahoo.com

Class Update

The recycled yarn class has been cancelled. I would suggest that we look at doing it as a fun diversion during Knit Wits - but it can be frustrating and time consuming to take apart a sweater...and none of us need that over our lunch hour!

For detailed photo instructions on how to take apart a sweater, visit this site.

How can one knitter help the world?

These days it feels like there is so much going wrong and you can never do enough. We've got to pick and choose our charities and how we spend our free time helping others. Thanks to Diane for passing along the Lion Brand site on knitting for charity. Maybe one knit stitch at a time we can make a difference.

Fall Meeting Day/Location

We've got a room for the rest of the Knit Wits knitting meetings this fall. Please check here to see which room we'll be in each Thursday. You'll also be able to access this schedule on the right hand side of this page under MEETINGS.

Pick up your sticks, ladies and lets knit!
