Last Saturday I went and meet with a group of knitters in Lawrence that I found on Ravelry. What a great group! They made me feel so welcome and a part of the group. I got to see a lot of interesting projects, saw some new techniques and had great conversation.
If you are in the area I would highly recommend you come and knit with the group!
