Yes, this chick knits! My usual Thursday night for the past six weeks - grab my Starbucks (tall cafe misto, mild, with 2 pumps of sugar free vanilla = heaven), hop on the crowded street car and engage in some casual people watching until I hit my stop,The Knit Cafe. The one large window is filled with knitted owls sitting on a wood tree. Inside smells of coffee and baked goods and thousands of colours line the walls. Different textures, colours, patterns. In the middle of the store there are six chairs seated around a medium sized table wedged up to a big bay window that faces Queen Street. I gander though the different wool, already planning projects in my head. About six of us, all girls in their mid 20's, sit around the table - sipping cafe lattes and chatting... stitching and bitching to be exact. Each week we meet up - I check my cell phone at the door. Two hours spent in my own little world; knitting, chatting, sipping my latte. At the end of my 6 weeks, I have 2 scarves and a matching hat. I'm working on wrist warmers, and from high demand, will be making a chunky cowl neck scarf next! Thinking maybe selling some items - open for suggestions! Hat and scarf below - email me for patterns.
