Relocated
Well, since I brought it up, I'll talk about my routine.
Weho S'n'B: That's short for West Hollywood Stitch'n'Bitch. I learned about these kids after I started knitting. In Yahoo Groups I typed in "los angeles knitting" and this was my first hit. I joined and read for months. I learned about knitting workshops, sales and the different group gatherings.
At the time, the West Hollywood was the closest group to me. (Since then a Westwood group has sprung up but they meet on Wednesdays and my Wednesday night is already booked.) After reading about these ladies on that board and in several blogs of the members, I finally found the courage to not only walk into what seamed (HA!) like a tight knit (I slay me!!) group of women but also brave Thursday rush hour. And, let me tell you, there is nothing more frightening than Los Angeles Thursday rush hour. Seriously. You don't believe me? You go Eastbound mid-city for a 7pm start time. I dare you.
These ladies are more than worth the traffic challenges. Not only have a learned quite a bit but holy crap do I laugh. I can't say I ever remember being surrounded by so many sincere, interesting, intelligent women all in one place at one time.
Now for the relocation title of the post...normally we meet above Kip's Toyland in the Original Farmer's Market. Someone gave them permission to have an event in our usual spot. So, we were down on the ground floor with the masses. You would have thought we were all sporting 3rd eyes with some of the looks we got. Ellen took a few pictures of us in our temporary home. (No, not the cactus, keep scrolling down.) It was nice down there but boy was it loud. We all joked about how we need rugs and afghans to put on the floor and the walls to deal with the sound issues.
