One of the things I've found to love most about the knit/crochet community is the way it brings people together. Over the last few years, I've been blessed with many opportunities to meet new friends through a shared love of the craft. It's amazing how easy it is to form friendships and start conversations when you both enjoy stitching together. I love sharing new stitch patterns, learning new techniques, and admiring finished projects with others. The best way to find other friends in the knitting community is to find a knitting circle you enjoy going to. There are knitting circles all over the place. All you have to do is just google for one in your area, and you'll likely find more than one within easy walking or driving distance. I belong to one at my work, and just starting trying to attend one near my house on Saturdays when I'm free. If you are just starting out knitting and want to learn some new tricks, I highly encourage knitting circles. They are the greatest!
Other than that, here's a fun cartoon I found while putting together a yarn swap for my knitting circle at work. Everyone brought tons of yarn and I definitely went home with more than I had brought with me. Not necessarily the aim of the swap, but at least I have more yarn that think I could actually use, haha :)
Anyway, hope everyone is having a great summer! And yes, I'm STILL working on my starfish...
