Anyone interested?

Count me in!
I can bring cake!

Great maramcp. Details to be confirmed but, I had in mind a little event to raise money for school funds - don't switch off here, it won't be much! - I intend to have a get-together at my house. You all come, pay a £1 and knit, chat, drink coffee and eat maramcp's cake - I might bake too if you really upset me!!! Hey, this could get me in the school newsletter - fame at last! :banana:

Possibly :)

Keep us updated with what you decide and then I will try and make it :D

It sounds like a great idea.:)

*Wonders whether she might have eventually venture out of Barnsley and meet some of these weirdo knitters that like to socialise!* :D

Yes, gempud, you should come meet us weirdoes....... I've been told that Summer starts on the 15th August....... it might have to be an all day occassion so that people can come when they want........ think think think

Me, depending on the date of course.

OK, this is NOT a date written in stone, but how about the 19th August? I picked a Sunday, as most people don't work on a Sunday and middle of the monthish so it would give people time to organise themselves. If not this date, feel free to suggest another.

Given how utterly pathetic I am at getting to the Wool Baa once a month, I can imagine how much this will mean to everyone, but here goes: I'd like to come. I'll try to get there.

Good good good! One down...... there's no backing out now ;)

I have one main condition ... can I drink tea rather than coffee?

Numero Two! (go on then, I'll find you a tea bag from somewhere!)

Sunday 19th sounds good to me. I'll be there and will bring cake.

Four of us so far then? Roll up, roll up - the more the merrier!

You mean you're actually counting me? I'm flattered, but I think you credit me with being too reliable! Just you wait for the inevitable "my boyfriend has taken up a week of work in Bath at short notice and there's no-one to look after the kids" post. It always happens, whatever my intentions are. :roll:

All excuses not accepted. We do not mind the odd child. We have two odd ones of our own! :hihi:

I'll try my best to be there too :)

If I come can I sit at the table and have someone to bring me tea?

I am under the distinct impression from knitting group meet-ups that you don't actually have a bottom to sit on, Jill! :hihi: I may not recognise you if you're not standing up...

Jill, I will bring my pinny and wait on you! I am well practiced at tea-making.

I'm losing count now - Jill, I will clear the table for you to sit at the head as guest of honour! Mara, you said that pinny was for Mark! Don't do him out of a job!! Any more for any more? This is going to be a right laugh!!

AmeliB - forgot to mention you ! Good good good - Let's show how to have a laugh and knit at the same time!

We can have even more fun than the Shreddie-knitters! Alright, Mark can have the pinny, I am sure he will look better in it than me, anyway.

Who knows, I may have finished the cardigan by mid-August...

lol! It's usually the chair I am struggling with not the wherewithal to put on one!

So is this cakefest going to be the 19th for definite then? I have my pen poised over my diary, just as soon as you say the word, my dear old Wheezychops.

YES my fine ladykins! The 19th it is! Shall we have a poll?? :D

Yes! We don't seem to have had a poll in forever and ages, so one would be most welcome

Yes! We don't seem to have had a poll in forever and ages, so one would be most welcome

What a narna, I've just done the poll but forgot the bit that shows who is coming! Do we need to know? If you want to make yourselves known - do do, if not, surprise us!!

W4B, will you be with wheel? :love:

Ooh, that was fun, I voted, yes, please, I will come and bring cake(s) too!
Looking forward to it already!

Jolly good. I only live in a 3 bed semi, but lets try and fill it eh?

I said yes and I could bring my wheel too!

Yes, please bring your wheel! :o:D

One for AmelieB or W4B - How long would it take either of you to spin my 100g of BFL - Hypertheticaly of course :suspect:

Hi
I will try to get there. You will need to tell me how to get there. No car!

I'm making a list, checking it twice, remembering next time to make the Poll visible!

Yes, thank you Mr. Wheezy (tut, catering staff should know there place :rolleyes:)

We could try public transport together, Peakwool, coming from the same neck of the woods, should be challenging, especially on a Sunday!

Oi! Cheeky minx :p

I was going to bring cake (of the chocolate variety), too.

Should we have a cake poll too, and then I will know which two big cakes to make for the hungry hoards?!

Its a no from me Im afraid - we shall be travelling back from a visit to the outlaws:suspect:

"was" and "going to"? These are past tense. You need to "edit" your post :confused:

Know what? I might actually come....

Probably not with knitting though as I don't do well on it in front of other people so would just make a twisted mess.

If I do come I can offer lifts from Barnsley area and Deepcar/Stocksbridge etc or any area between Barnsley and Rotherham really. I really don't know any area of Sheffield well. If anyone thinks they could benefit from a lift from me let me know. At least if I have to give someone a lift then I can't back out.

I will come on one condition though. I am allowed to bring a Monkey into Wheezy's house. And she has to hold it *sniggers*

I wasn't sure if you deserved it after being so cheeky and mean to me :(

There is a dress code you know for this occasion :suspect: and it doesn't involve monkeys! :o You have to come, your names down now. Someone, anyone, gempud has at least 4 spare seats going.....:rant:

littlemissy, please forgive me, I did not mean it, if you think I am mean, wait till you meet Jill! :o

It's an all day event lisaH, you really may not have any choice or excuse! :D

Hi, are there any places left? I might come as well if nothing else gets in the way :)

Bami, you are very very welcome. The very more, the very merrier :D

Do you need picking up Bami? I work in Deepcar but only just off Wortley Road (I think) off Stocksbridge bypass so only know that road!

Thanks Gempud, that would be great. I'll PM you if I am able to come. But don't you have to drive a long way around coming from Barnsley?

Nah it's not far away. I only just live off the M1 junction at Barnsley so will be going down the motorway anyway so may aswell do a 10 min detour to pick you up. :) Just PM me when you know.

I'd love to come, can you PM me with details about how to get there on public transport? The driver in the house is spending the 19th staring at blood. (Other peoples, nothing weird.)

I might be able to come! Should I stay in Sheffield that long. Will know later today.

If so - Knitbird I can give you a lift if you can get to the city centre!

Or I can drive you Knitbird, if LB isn't able to go.

Thank you both! You're very kind. :)

Would the people who are attending my coffee knit please PM me for further details.

It is never too late to decide if you want to attend. You will be made most welcome.

Hope you have a good meet:D

Thank you lisaH. As you can see, I'm up at daft o'clock! Hope everyone has a good chit chat and knit!

Wheezy, go back to bed! Have a nap on the sofa... save your energy for nattering and knitting, and eating cake! See you soon!

Fancy waking me up! :rant: I'm going to be really grumpy now :suspect: Still wanna come? :o:D

I want cake, and for that I will tolerate a grumpy Wheezykins

Sorry Wheezy! Will you forgive me when I present you with fruit cake as requested?

hope you all have a good knit - but keep the cake off the yarn!

I'm coming...just later than expected. Yarn at Hobbycraft calls first!

I don't think I can get back from Scarborough in time! I'm very disappointed. Wheezy, pm me and let me know how I can make a contribution to the school fund.

I told you I'm rubbish :(
