Interest for Stitch N Bitch in Neuchatel?

I wanted to see what kind of interest might be out there for a knitting/ crochet/ fiber arts (cross stitch, sewing, spinning, whatever...) group in the city of Neuchatel. I was hoping to set up a meet up on a weekday evening after work. If you aren't familiar with the stitch'n'bitch concept, essentially you meet up with your projects and talk about crafting or whatever you want to talk about (family life, work, expat adventures, etc.).

I'm an intermediate level knitter and would be happy to teach anybody the basics of knitting. If you've never knit before, now could be the time to learn in time to start a handmade gift for the end of year holidays.

All ages / sexes / experience levels would be welcome. And although I would envision a group primarily in English, I would also welcome French speakers.

I'd be interested in joining a stitching group. I've knitted in the past, done many other types of needlework.

Yes, would be fun - I sort of knit and crochet- have done embroidery in the past- and like macramé too.

Re: Interest for Stitch N Bitch in Neuchatel?

The Swiss way of knitting is very different to the British one btw. The Brits wind the wool around the needle with one finger, the Swiss (and Germans) wind the kneedles around the wool by flapping arms about, lol

Re: Interest for Stitch N Bitch in Neuchatel?

I did not start the thread, but it appears we have the interest.
For me, I can do any weekday evening or a Sunday afternoon.
Any thoughts from the rest on a time and place?
Let's get it organized....should be fun.. and i need the help, I am a novice with the needles.

Re: Interest for Stitch N Bitch in Neuchatel?

Love to get organized. Fridays and weekends are best for me because I travel so much for work.

When and where should we establish the group?

Anyone else interested in joining? All levels are welcome, even people who want to learn.


Cheers,
LLS
