Knitters, yeah!: knitting group @ Leon, Spitalfields

On a slightly grey but considerably lighter evening, Knitters, yeah! managed to take over an entire table in Leon tonight. This is actually quite impressive, as Leon’s tables are very long.

We had two newcomers and many of the usual suspects. We also had no less than two men, although all they really did was distract the knitters.....
Our next session is moving along one week due to Easter rudely getting in the way. Come along to our next gathering on Monday, April 20th at 6pm in Leon, Spitalfields. Watch our numbers grow.

Come on, Craft Crunchers! If you can't knit, don't worry - we'll teach you.

For those of you on Facebook, look up Knitters, yeah! and join the group. You'll be kept up to date on all future meetings.

To perfectly finish off a gorgeous sunny day, Knitters, yeah! had a good turn-out at Leon in Spitalfields last night. Sarah came all the way from Aix-en-Provence, we had two more newbies, and an honorary non-knitter who we only tolerated because he did a very convincing knitting performance.

One conversation I overheard:

Ellen: I'm doing a performance on Thursday in Clerkenwell. Can you come?
Adrian: Oh! Sorry. I can't, I'm afraid. What is it?
Ellen: Well, we're going to dress up as a troupe of Karl Lagerfelds and do a synchronised dance.
Adrian: ...*raises eyebrows*
So come along to our next session on Monday, March 30th at 6pm in Leon, Spitalfields where you can here more tales of the unexpected.

After an unfortunate cancellation last week due to unexpected work commitments, I was super pleased when so many people showed up this week in Leon with needles at the ready for another Knitters, yeah! gathering.
In typical East London fashion, we had an actress, a writer, two photographers and an artist in attendance.

Our novice knitters picked it up in no time at all and were raring for more, to the extent that we've decided to increase our meetings to once every fortnight! We also made light work of a bottle of red wine, a very good habit to get into.... More than half of the attendees had said what a rotten day they'd had, but knitting and a glass of wine proved to be the perfect remedy.

The next one will be next Monday, due to the loss of last week's meeting.

So come along next Monday, March 2nd at 6pm in Leon, Spitalfields.

Come on, Craft Crunchers! If you can't knit, don't worry - we'll teach you.

Hip but cosy Leon in Spitalfields played host to the first gathering of Knitters, Yeah! this evening.

Experienced and novice knitters gathered from different corners of the city to spend a couple of hours knitting and gossiping over steaming cups of coffee and ginger tea.

Next Knitters, yeah! meeting will be on February 16th, 6pm, in Leon Spitalfields.

Come on, Craft Crunchers! If you can't knit, don't worry - we'll teach you.
