5) Don’t forget to post your finished project either on your project page in Ravelry or your blog by March 17th.

A Dublin knitter, known as kneehigh on Ravelry, posted directions to the City Centre SnB on her blog. This pictorial makes it easier for anyone to navigate the cobblestone-like streets of Temple Bar and find the Curved Street Cafe.
It is all about show ‘n’ tell at this week’s SnB…
Katie’s fingerless gloves are embellished with a simple embroidered design.

There is a new knitting group in town. This mid-week group meets every Wednesday morning from 10:30am until 12:30pm at the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre on South Williams Street.
This is an ideal city centre location because the knitting group has direct access to This is Knit since it is only one level up from the Cafe.
Look who was knitting today…
A couple of Ireland’s Ravelry members were knitting away on a comfy couch:
kneehigh just casted off a poncho
rguthrie modelled these amazing slippers and I’ve put in a request for her pattern
and chicwithstix was spinning away on the drop spindle
