{The Itch to Stitch}

I'm a hobby girl. I've always gotta have one -- or five -- to fall back on at any given time.

Embroidering has been a constant for the last three years now. I started when Lindsay,

Carlene and I formed Stitch-N-Bitch. (Miss it. A lot.) I kept it up on my own when they

both moved, but it wasn't nearly as fun without them.

I finally found a steady group to create with in March -- Knitting Club. A few weeks

ago, we had our biggest group yet. It was awesome.

I'm so grateful to D'Arcy for creating this little group. The story of how it came to be

is pretty fabulous. She wanted to start a Knitting Club because she loves yarn, knitting

and people. So, she went posted the group on ravelry.com and started showing up every

single Friday at Paradise Bakery all by herself until one by one, members started

forming. Literally, she built it and we came, just like the old saying goes.

While I haven't been the most dedicated member in the last two months because

of my work schedule, I make it every time I can. There's truly no other place I'd

rather be come Friday at 6PM.

Here are some of the patterns I've stitched onto

flour sack towels in the second half of 2011 ...

Thanks for letting me show and tell. Cheers!
