SUNSHINE AND A NEW PLACE TO GATHER MAY 10

 Hi everyone,

Since it will be such a lovely, WARM day tomorrow, Friday May 10, we will be meeting in the courtyard at Chophouse Row 1424 11th Ave Seattle.

Please join us there!

NEW PLACE TO MEET, NEW SCHEDULE ALSO

We have changed our format a little and there are some changes.

Our new times are: 

every other Friday 

from 1pm to 3pm 

at M2M Market 

on the corner of Broadway and E. John St (next door to the Light Rail Station). 118 Broadway, Seattle WA.

We meet in the "Food Court" upstairs.

There is a restaurant up there Bon Restaurant, and there is food in the market ready made to eat, and a bakery, with coffee for those of us who need our caffeine! And the shopping experience is great there.

If there are any changes we will notify you on this site.

Changing up the format

 We are not going to be meeting regularly on Fridays starting March 1. If you want to know when we meet again, please email us at knitcaphill@gmailcom

Thanks for joining us.

No Gathering on Friday January 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Well, it seems that Seattle is getting some snow this week. AND it will fall on us on Friday the 12th. So, we will not be meeting at Stoup on this coming Friday the 12th. Stay home and do your fibery thing where it is warm and dry!

See you the following week.

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Here is hope that in 2024 our dreams of peace will be achieved and our personal dreams will be fulfilled. 

Here are some things to divert you until 2024.

This artist, Lorna Hamilton-Brown is an inspiration and a mover! Scroll through her website for some awesome art and fibery things. (Lorna was the "bird" square maker in the above video):
