Crazy Brit Knitters

A non-knitting friend and classmate who nonetheless knows an entertaining website when he sees one sent me the link to this British Knitting Group called Cast Off. Check out the photos and sample patterns for the Knitted Wedding. They also have a message board, patterns for sale, and a book.

BTW, browsing my local magazine racks yesterday, I noticed that the new issues of Vogue Knitting and Knit.1 are out. The new Knit.1 is a man-themed issue and the patterns look very good. At least, the man models look happy wearing them.

Seriously, where is everybody?

I debated whether to email this out or post it to the blog... but where is everyone? I fear that the live action portion of the Knitting and Beer group has fallen off quite drastically. Two of the three times in the last month, I have gone to the Bread Garden... and no one else showed up. That really sucked. Was it something I said?
The get-togethers we have are so much fun and inspiring for keeping up the knitting habit. It would really be crappy to see the group disintegrate.
Any ideas on how we can reinvigorate this thing we've got going?
