On Wednesday we had our regular 3rd Wednesday of the month get together at Yerba Buena Park.  We could only take about 30 minutes in the freezing cold wind before we all trekked over to Grove.  What a great coffee shop!
Clockwise around the table: Alice (me), Steve, Rita, Mo, Kelly, and Ann, Bethany.  (My apologies to Bethany for taking a blurry photo when it was my turn and then photoshopping blurry-her onto the awesome photo she took of the rest of us.)

I am so happy that we've found somewhere indoors as an alternative when the weather isn't great for being outside.  And it's only a block away from the park, so it's super convenient ... and big ... and inviting.

Rita, Steve, and Ann were at last month's meeting, so they are totally OG now.  Bethany and I are IRL friends from WAY back.  I've hung out with Kelly, who knits amazing lace, a couple times at Craft Bar.  And Mo just showed up out of the blue with a beautiful crocheted blanket to work on and made my night by saying he knew about the meet up because he reads my blog.

I*love* hanging out with people who are making stuff.  I love our conversations about crochet hooks, ways to avoid wrist pain, projects we're hoping to work on, and general maker-nerd stuff.  And this time, we had several quiet moments where we were all immersed in our projects.  So cool.

So, if you're in area and think you might want to come MARK YOUR CALENDAR because the next one will be Wednesday, August 18th at 5:30.  And, now that we have a place to move if the weather isn't good, I can see this going year round every 3rd Wednesday from now on. No. Matter. What.

Everyone is welcome!  Especially you.  I mean it.  All of us are so nice.  And if you don't already know how to knit or crochet and you want to learn, we'd be happy to teach you.  Seriously.
