Several Yahoo Groups have piqued my interest. The first is a local one that is called Spinners with Altitude. Each Saturday they gather at a local coffee shop to knit or spin as the mood moves as well as travel together to other needle events in Colorado. I was introduced to this group by two members while working on a project at Knitters Kove in the Saturday afternoon knitalong. With visitors from out of town, my son's arrival home from the Army and life in general, I haven't been able to join them, but hopefully this Saturday will be the exception.
Second is the Pikes Peak Knitting Guild Group which is limited to members of the Guild. This site keeps me posted on the programs coming up for the following month and allows asking for help on any current project.
Third, and my educational favorite, is Traditional Knitting Group where I have learned about Gansey and lace knitting. The detailed information on each knitalong has been tremendously helpful and informative. Those who have actually completed their projects have posted pictures on the Group site to encourage those of us who seem to lag behind. I'm usually one of the last to finish anything because each time I see something new I pursue that rabbit trail. So much to try and not enough leisure... Oh well! I do thrive on whatever is currently on the needles.
