Still early days....

So, it's now week four of the Official Meeting of The Knitting Ninnies. Yep, we are that fancy, we get capitals! 

As we are still finding our feet, I didn't think it was right posting every week, as we are all still settling in.

This week though, we have had a quick look at the various yarn related day trips in the wider area, with a view to gate crashing them at some point. A dozen ladies, all armed with pointy sticks and string, galloping towards anything is a bit of a fearsome sight to behold!

We have all been kept in plenty of laughter and giggles by our very own resident local colour, Miss R. Full of wonderful stories about her family, friends, and the local area, with a touch of smut thrown in for good measure....Good Times!

Yours truly, being all innocent and such, kept her ears firmly shut to all the shenanigans....And if you believe that.....
 Personally, I think Wetherspoons has been sneaking gin into the water again...heh, that would explain all the raucous laughter and red faces! (Disclaimer: I don't actually think Wetherspoons are spiking the drinks, they are a family establishment, and are very welcoming to all folks.)

It was a bit thin on the ground this week, with some of our ladies out for various reasons, but hopefully should pick back up again in the next couple of weeks.

Welcome to Knitting Ninnies!!


Greetings!

Welcome to the Knitting Ninnies little corner of the interwebs.
We are a group of yarn crafters, based in Wallsend in the North East of England.
We began life by meeting at the local library several days a week, and have decided to also meet on an evening so that the workers in the group can get their yarny fix.

So we decided to take over the local Wetherspoons once a week on a Tuesday evening. Good food, good booze, good company, and yarn. What more could a person ask for?

Today was our inaugural meeting. A good turn out of nine ladies.
We also had a bit of a surprise in the form of discount coupons for each of us from the local yarn shop,  Wool Works! http://www.thewoolworks.co.uk/ They are a lovely shop, very friendly, and very reasonable prices. Go visit!

All the ladies thoroughly enjoyed the night, and we will definitely be meeting again.
It has been decided to take a £1.50 sub each week, which will be collected, then put towards a day trip to a  yarn festival or such like. What FUN!
