Subject: Knit at Maha's: The Men's Forum?

Hey crafty people,

Well, judging from attendance and the walk-ins from last week, I think "Knit at Maha's" is sorta shaping up as a guy's knitting circle, though not exclusively. I promised apollonia the Rowan Biggy Print, so hands off. Bring some yarn to trade if you got it. I have some off-white fun fur. I don't know what I was thinking.

New topics to consider for this posting:
1) Acrylic: What do you do with it?
2) NY Times reports sweater sales are slumping, is this the end of yarn kind?
3) Is Alpaca the new Llama?
4) Felting, Shmelting: Who's done it already?

Wait, so are we going to be at Maha's or at the Festivus thing?

I'm not quite sure if I'm up for the schlep all the way to Soda from my place, honestly.
