I am thinking about trying to get a local SnB group together but I am not sure how to go about it. There was an article in the local paper about all the people knitting for the Guardian Chemist Guardian Angel project and it got me thinking that there is certainly more than just me knitting in this country town!
I guess I’d make up a flyer after deciding on a venue and stick it on local notice boards and maybe put an ad in the paper? What do you think? Have you ever started a group? What if no one wants to come? Can my sense of self worth and pride take that?
Over the next week I will do some research on it all and report back…. this blog helps keep me real!

erm….snb…stitch n’ bitch? Is this the acronym?
Hmm, this is a tough one. If you can get one person to come as your self-esteem mentor in case no one turns up, then that would be great.
I have a friend who goes to a stitch and bitch session held at the pub. Ideal I’d say!
Am in the midst of what you might mildly term a knitting frenzy. I’m scanning the web for a simple baby garment to have a stab at. Each time I read the pattern though I get scared of the shaping and stitch holding and other bits I don’t really know how to do. LIsa x

Go for it – you will have fun – but agree with Lisa. Kate started one in Wagga a few years ago and now we have about 30 member (12 which are regulars!) We meet on the first and third thursday of the month and if there are five thursdays then we have a treat and go somewhere different for dinner! Dont get me wrong – sometimes there is only one person there but it is fun and I have met some lovely people by attending
