Provisonally I'm looking at Friday 30th May at 3.00pm at Preston Park -
this is easy to reach by train (Preston Park Station) by bus and has
parking. It has restuarants, loos and is a nice park.

I'll bring a blanket and cakes!

Wanna come along? Go on.....don't leave me knitting there all on my
lonsome :-(

Once I guage interest I'll post a spot to meet that is easy to find.

Peri.

Subject: [brightonknittingrocks] Summertime Afternoon Knitting Meetups

Hello

I am thinking about trying to organise a regular outdoor knitting
meetup throughout the summer. I met up with someone on Friday and we
knit in the Pav Gardens and it was so lovely, that I'd like to repeat
the experience.

I thought as everyone has different commitments that the meetup could
alternate a weekday afternoon with a weekend afternoon.

Anyone interested?? Or if you have ideas, suggestions for good
locations (I like the idea of varying these to) I would love to hear
from you.

Cheers

Peri

Swapo-rama-rama is being put on by Transition Brighton & Hove's Clothing & Textiles group.  We aim to show that creativity, individuality, self-esteem and a sense of community can be the alternative to our current consumer lifestyles.  We will also be raising awareness of the environmental impact of cheap clothing production and the need for all of us to start living more resourcefully and sustainably as we look at a future of rising energy prices and climate change.

 

Transition Brighton and Hove is part of the Transition Town's movement.  We seek to engage all sectors of the city in order to reduce our current carbon emissions and create a plan to make our city more resilient when facing a future of greater risks and uncertainty.  For more information about Transition Brighton & Hove see our website:

Hi All, is anyone interested in being involved with this as part of the
festival?
Personally I'm not, but have forwarded the message in case anyone else
is.

Subject: Happy Together - Brighton Festival



Hello,


I'm following up an email that my colleague James Turnbull sent to you
about a commission for this year's Brighton Festival, called 'Happy
Together'.


I've attached some information for you about the project, and wondered
if I might come and talk to your group about how you could become
involved.

We're essentially looking to work with a small number of groups based in
Brighton, who we can work with for some contained pieces within the
overall parade.

The piece is loosely based on the hen and stag ritual that we see played
out on our streets most weekends - especially here in Brighton! But it's
also about men and women and how they behave towards each other,
communicate and date.  The title maybe suggests they are happier
together with their own sex and therefore questions the notion of
marriage.

I do hope this sounds interesting to you - we'd love to have you
involved!

I look forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards

Melanie Smith

We were going for 14 June - Saturday - as the following day is Father's Day.

Lou's original suggestion was to meet at the Peace Statue in Hove - any other
ideas? I don't think we'll have much in the way of London visitors, as IKnit
are having a treasure hunt for WWKIP the same day, so the venue needn't be in
central Brighton.

Time say 12noon - 4pm? You wouldn't have to commit to be there for all four
hours if you didn't want to....

See you all next week,

Jan

Hi all

Have finally spoken to the Seafront office, and as long as there aren't
more than 30 ish of us, we don't need a license or permit or anything
for our Knitting In Public day on 14/15th June. (Can eomeone remind me
which day we went for??)

What time shall we meet then? And whereabouts?

See you all there then!

Hello

My name is Jenny and I have just moved to Brighton with my 6 year old
son.  I have wanted to live in Brighton for many years and have now
managed it, hooray!!!!
I have been knitting since I was a teenager and am looking forward to
meeting some new knitters. I am currently mainly working on the Debbie
Abrahams mystery blanket.

Hopefully see you soon, assuming I can find a baby sitter!

best wishes

Jenny

There's now a Ravelry group for this - one of the threads called 'What to do'
has pattern suggestions etc. Search groups for 'Oxfam' and you'll find it.

Hello all,
Does anyone know of any day time knitting groups?
I've had an e-mail from someone new to Brighton who's looking for a daytime group.

Or has anyone thought about meeting for a daytime knit in Brighton/Hove?

Please let me know if anyone knows of any groups, or is looking to start one!

Hi everyone -  I mentioned to a few people last night that I have the
author Stella Duffy coming to the library soon to do a talk, and
wondered if anyone would like a free ticket.

It's Thursday 17th April, 7pm at Jubilee Library.

If you would like a free ticket, email me and I will bring them to
knitting next week.

Stella Duffy is an excellent speaker and her books are really good -
her latest novel, which she will be talking about that night is called
The Room of Lost Things and it has been longlisted for the Orange prize
for Fiction this week.

Jo

Hi all,
Someone left a sock pattern behind tonight, it's a Paton's pattern for
several different pairs - stripey, plain, argyle and cable.
I've got it safe and sound, but won't be at Starbucks next week. If
it's yours and you'd like it back sooner than 2 weeks' time, just let
me know and I'll post it or something

Annie

Hi there Katie, thanks for your ofer of old tights, please keep

Hiya Ladies

Due to unforeseen circumstances at work, I won't be at S'n'B until (for
the earliest) the first Wednesday of next month thanks to a few people
walking out. I, however, still have the story scarf and need someone to
take it off my hands so it can continue to go around. I will be in the
centre every Mon, Tue and Weds from 3-9, with the exception of next
Monday, which will be all day and every weekend all day (apart from
this weekend. I will be around, but if you can't see me, just ask a
member of the cleaning or security staff for me. I will bring it just
in case.

Until then, I'll see you when I see you.
Yolanda

Hi Karen

I have lots of these! Seem to go through tights
(literally) like nobody's business! I can't come
tonight, but can I get them to you any other way?
