Shangri-La will use the location as a venue for private functions in the future. There will be no more S'n'B at the Hart's Pub!<br />The lovely little room with its couches and armchairs will be greatly missed.<br /><br />The upside is: We're moving and still looking for a new location.<br /><br />So, if you always wanted to joing S'n'B on Monday nights but didn't like Hart's Pub or thought it was too much out of your way: this is your chance to suggest a new location.<br /><br />We are looking for a nice pub, cafe or the like, preferably in the CBD or easy to reach, with a good vibe to it, not too busy on monday nights and with enough room and light. If you know the place we are looking, just leave a comment or join the discussion on the S'n'B Sydney forum on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/">www.ravelry.com</a>.Sydney Stitch N Bitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01455417985471938714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30662695.post-118232303102403732009-04-13T14:15:00.002+10:002009-04-13T14:21:05.380+10:00Happy EasterNo official meeting at Hart's pub tonight due to the holiday, but here's an Easter themed knitted project:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBWyWqTULRpy3UDrNh9wRQ8E65bnPn6YBVwC7eiu-c2tJcdsn_6Yua3z97RviEf3CxpzsVydYhKJ9y_kdzRRZNl1gPWRG7BU0BwKWVI5SJiEWCsPn0Y4XAFDhwXqUmTLQagdyX8w/s1600-h/disected+easter+bunny.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBWyWqTULRpy3UDrNh9wRQ8E65bnPn6YBVwC7eiu-c2tJcdsn_6Yua3z97RviEf3CxpzsVydYhKJ9y_kdzRRZNl1gPWRG7BU0BwKWVI5SJiEWCsPn0Y4XAFDhwXqUmTLQagdyX8w/s320/disected+easter+bunny.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324025373460340290" border="0" /></a>Easter Bunny as science project.<br /><br />We got a mention in the Sydney Sun-Herald yesterday (Sun 12/4) as one of cheap things to do around town.

I am thinking that a knit tagging event like this is something we should do on a regular basis. Maybe I will even find some people in Canberra to do this too! </div><div></div><div>PS: Looks like we've been spotted <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katlu/2269435773/?addedcomment=1#comment72157603926018439">http://www.flickr.com/photos/katlu/2269435773/?addedcomment=1#comment72157603926018439</a></div></div></div></div>Sydney Stitch N Bitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01455417985471938714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30662695.post-40466769807167042832008-02-18T12:24:00.003+11:002008-02-18T12:37:10.320+11:00Hart's Pub DatesLatest list of Dates for Hart's Pub<br /><div><ul><li>Mon 25th Feb</li><li>Mon 10 Mar</li><li>No meeting Mon 24 Mar (Easter Monday)</li><li>Mon 7 Apr</li><li>Mon 21 Apr</li><li>Mon 5 May</li><li>Mon 19 May</li><li>Mon 2 Jun</li><li>Mon 16 Jun</li><li>Mon 30 Jun</li></ul><div>If we're not in the small lounge area, look for us upstairs.

However, it also had to do with Valentines Day (My darling) and the idea of knittagging to handy items in Martin Place (My lamppost). As it was we didn't manage the lamppost and used a tree instead. The pink tag on the right of the screen has "My darling, my Lamppost" written on it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW0ufskbGrLBsSo1pPYG5hq6dbzKRogpnyXxPVVSrH4EpWGLLDeu5ov3hFKJFxREmwWQ8klhrO2ddJQb-USL-1x65Ct8h6-ZZ8uC1kPN9DFStBxLQIr7MfE3TDlSXWLXkKLuVp6A/s1600-h/knit+tag+114.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167802040008853522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW0ufskbGrLBsSo1pPYG5hq6dbzKRogpnyXxPVVSrH4EpWGLLDeu5ov3hFKJFxREmwWQ8klhrO2ddJQb-USL-1x65Ct8h6-ZZ8uC1kPN9DFStBxLQIr7MfE3TDlSXWLXkKLuVp6A/s400/knit+tag+114.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If you look closely you may be able to see a heart design in the centre.<br /><br />Apparently, not many of the tags survived for long the next day, but stay tuned for more photos.Sydney Stitch N Bitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01455417985471938714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30662695.post-79276796780072429252008-02-10T15:34:00.000+11:002008-02-10T15:37:36.344+11:00Sydney stitch n bitch knit tagging event!On Wednesday night this week Sydney Stitch n Bitch is having a knit tag night (see http://www.boingboing.net/2006/04/22/knitta-please-urban-.html) in the city to say goodbye to one of our members who is leaving for Canberra. That's the night before Valentine's Day so we'll be tagging on a love theme, to give the commuters something to see the next day. If you are interested in coming along drop us a line in the comments field on this post and we'll give you the details. It's only a couple of days away but it only takes an evening to knock up a couple of squares or rectangles to put up somewhere and we will have a couple of spares, so feel free to come along even if you don't have time to prepare.Sydney Stitch N Bitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01455417985471938714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30662695.post-61113920647865976612008-01-31T19:11:00.000+11:002008-01-31T19:15:18.690+11:00Tapestry Craft SaleMost Sydney sider would have heard, but a friendly <a href="http://web-goddess.org/">bird</a>told me that <a href="http://tapestrycraft.com.au/">Tapestry Craft</a> is holding a Garage Sale this weekend.

You can learn more about it on the official <a href="http://www.wwkipday.com">website</a> - though they still haven't gotten around to posting our details. Food and wine are available, but we're not sure how many tables we'll be able to commandeer so if anybody has those nice folding chairs, bring them along!<br /><br />Hope to see you all there...Sydney Stitch N Bitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01455417985471938714noreply@blogger.com0
