We started with once a year, and discovered it was just not enough. We love all the things about it that you have mentioned--lots of knitters means someone else has experienced whatever trouble you run into and can walk you through it. You get to know each other so much better in a relaxed setting. We have also discovered that it takes a couple of hours to set everything up. And another couple to take everything down. You need overnight to make the set-up/take-down/drive time/prep time worth it. At one point, someone asked about doing it quarterly. I explained that some of us need to take time off work. If we do it too often, it gets easy to postpone attendance until the next time. And then it doesn't happen. It does need to be special. Diane, if you want to come to Triangle Machine Knitter's next Knit-In, send me an email at wmolnar@nc.rr.com. We really enjoyed your presentation here at our club. The weekend is Wed Oct 18th at 1pm until Sunday, Oct 22nd at noon. I will be there Wed through Friday, but payment is for the entire event, not a portion of it.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126281629505647862noreply@blogger.com
