You did the right thing! Knitting groups do "natter" about unrelated things (so fun!) but they also help solve knitting problems, Win-win!

I'm glad things are smoothing out, Jean.<br />I've thought about going to open knit/knitting during the day, but I've been wool shopping while it's going on and it seems like they all know each other. If I owned a wool shop I would school my knitters as to how to help me extend hospitality, encourage them to smile and acknowledge customers. The hipster knitters in the neighborhood meet at a wine bar. That occurs way past my bedtime.

The first time I went to America I landed at Newark Airport on a dodgy charter flight, this was some 47 years ago when I was meeting up with my pen friend from Michigan. Her best friend from home had moved to New Jersey, lived in a duplex in Piscataway so this place was my first introduction to American life, before taking an internal flight to Michigan. Although friend knew we were staying over, in the morning there was an expedition to the shops to buy the food for breakfast. At that time struck me as very strange.

We won't say too much about the car MOT and Log Book for one himself was about to part-exchange. It cost to get the replacements and it was quite some time later that I wondered what that littl stak of papers was on the top of books by his chair . . . So you see we have all done it.<br />The remaining decision will be whether to put it back in the right right place or the wrong right place, when it comes home for keeps.jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-39752954165030719782017-08-08T19:30:43.102+01:002017-08-08T19:30:43.102+01:00I wonder if there are enough blog readers in Edinb...I wonder if there are enough blog readers in Edinburgh to start a new group at a time to meet your requirements?<br /><br />So glad you found that key document!<br /><br />LisaRRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-84553040654170031402017-08-08T18:10:36.761+01:002017-08-08T18:10:36.761+01:00Well, that's certainly good news about your do...Well, that's certainly good news about your documents.<br />A knitting group is an excellent idea, although if it is anything like the one I go to not much actual knitting happens. People tend to bring something simple to work on while enjoying the chance to talk on general topics. Of course, we all admire each other's finished objects.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.com
