KnitTalk Sunday evenings by randystreat

KnitTalk Sunday evenings

Most Sunday evenings, beginning sometime during the pandemic, this fluid group meets on line via Zoom. We knit and chat and become good knitting friends. Some of us have even met each other in person. While many are located in mid Atlantic states of the US, there are a couple southerners, two from California, two from the midwest, one from New Mexico. We occasionally have a member visit from Canada and one while she lived in Israel. It's fun.
how lovely

Sounds like a good idea

Pigsing and Stitching is your bookreading on line too?

It’s hard enough with some of the conversations on pigs with just 6 of us. How do all get a chance to chat?

I was wondering the exact same thing as @wakelys how fun for you to have this time with all of them. I love the way you showed it here.

In some ways similar to the 365 community. It is amazing that modern technology allows us to make connections like this.

A great pic for your narrative.
I think it's a great idea to meet your group without travel involved. I belong to a reading group and we meet in person but in the winter I'd prefer to "meet" via Zoom...

Covid taught us a lot about how to get together through technology.
March 25th, 2024  
What a fun idea!!

How nice that it’s been kept going, technology is a wonderful thing!

Best use of Zoom ever. How nice to have such a diverse group with a common interest.
March 25th, 2024  
I love how international you are!

@kali66 Thank you Kali.
@onewing It's a lot of fun getting to know people.You previously only knew through written comments.
@illinilass Thanks Dorothy. I'll do just that.
@taffy It's certainly been a fun idea.
@kjarn It's been a good way to get to know even more people.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Book greeting online.Well I read e books a lot. But I don't discuss them online unless I come up in the big group or this knitting group.
@wakelys Well.
You know how it is. Often one person monopolizes the conversation leaving plenty of time to knit.
@grammyn It's not quite as much fun as pigs.But it's still a lot of fun.And it's been good getting to know these ladies.
@cdcook48 It's really wonderful chris and it passed some time in a such a pleasant way during the pandemic.
@corinnec It is nice to meet all these people. And it's expensive to tra well as risky especially when you're driving a car.
@tunia You're right about that Tunia. And we could meet whether we were sick.Or quarantined or the weather was bad.
@kwind It has been fun.
@craftymeg I think we'd all be sad if it went away. We've already decided to chip in to pay for professional zoom subscription for the lady who's running the meetings.
@shutterbug49 We are a diverse group, although an extraordinary number of the ladies are teachers.Or were teachers. Most of us are retired now. @olivetreeann Thanks.

@annied Thank you for the challenge Annie. The biggest challenge will be what pieces to choose.
March 26th, 2024  
I’ll bet you all have a chance to share some great patterns. Did you know one or more of them in person before this group got started?
March 26th, 2024  
This is keeping the tradition alive! Women used to meet in one room to tear feathers and sing songs. Now they meet on the Internet, knitting and telling stories.
March 26th, 2024  
What a great Idea, for getting together and chatting.
March 26th, 2024  
@mcsiegle we do share a lot of tips about patterns and yarn and needles and other needly stuff. I didn’t know any of the ladies before I started on the zoom meetings. I don’t post regularly on this chat. I never did.
@haskar Ha ha! What a wonderful way of putting it. Thank you Hannah.
@ziggy77 it’s really been so much fun.
