Annette from our Rose City Knitters group messaged me through Ravelry the other day asking when if I'd be coming back to the weekly meetings soon...awww! :D I haven't been going since nearly the beginning of the year. At first it was because Lawrence's mom was living at our apartment and she has a thing against knitting - she thinks it's a waste of time, is hazardous to our health, and contributes to bad air quality in our apartment. She stayed with us for several months (as in, we couldn't get rid of her), and it was tough for me to ever get out of the house without being questioned over what I was doing.
Then, we moved to a new apartment last month and even though Lawrence's mom wasn't there anymore, every Tuesday it seemed like there was just something or other we got caught up in that made me miss knitting night - like unpacking, Bed Bath & Beyond shopping, and furniture shopping.
So finally, nothing this week and just as I was getting apprehensive about going (did they still meet? was there still anyone I knew who went? would they still even remember me?), Annette messaged me! I had a fun time and I look forward to going every week again. I met 2 people I hadn't seen there before, although we were missing several people who used to be there.
Some things I need to remember to bring next time: the Herbert Niebling patterns and my Japanese knitting/crochet books.
