The City Centre SnB ventured over to the north side of town, and held a May Bank Holiday TeaParty at Stitch.

It was a great turn out this afternoon at the Curved Street Cafe for the bi-monthly SnB in the City Centre.

Fifteen knitters took over two tables and a sofa…good food and drink and lots of knitting and yarn selling and swapping amongst the group.

Knitting groups in Dublin are popping up every where. OlannBan has a list of them here.

In the past few months, I have not been able to get to any of my regular knitting groups in the City Center or in Rathmines. I miss the atmosphere of knitting in a cafe. So I find myself taking my own little knitting break in Dublin’s City Center. I have become the lone knitter, sitting in a cafe with a cuppa and my knitting…

How about The Cake Cafe, located in the Daintree Building in the heart of Camden Street This is a lovely place to enjoy a scrumptous slice of cake and a cup of coffee.

This place is very quaint, not very quiet for a Wednesday at three o’clock in the afternoon. There were a few tables of friends meeting for a late lunch. I had a table by the window, and as the buzz of conversations echoed around me, I enjoyed a yummy cupcake and a cup of coffee.

Please send your comments and experiences if you’ve been to The Cake Cake.

the delights of knitting for pleasure

The Curved Street Café is drawing very good reviews amongst the Dublin knitters. I have heard comments such as “great lighting”, “central location”, “nice staff” and importantly, “very good food & drink”. The menu is very impressive with a varied selection of gourmet sandwiches, soups and salads. Yesterday’s menu included two types of pizza- blue cheese & carmelized onions and tomato & basil. Both came with a lovely spring salad and cashew nut vingarette dressing.
