Knitting or Ravelry Meet Up

Hello. I am sure there are not a lot of knitters out on the Penny Arcade forums, but just in case there are a few, there is talk of having a Ravelry/knitting/crochet meet up sometime during PAX East. For those of you who are part of Ravelry you can check the forums there, but anyone who knits, crochets, spins, weaves, etc would be more than welcome.
Nothing is set as of yet, but is seems likely that Saturday is the day that most people will be around. It also seems reasonable to either pick a coffee shop/bar close by to meet at or to arrange a corner in the Hynes where we can all meet.

It does not get any more hardcore when it comes to knitting.

Knitting with steel sounds awesome to me!
i got into it last year, and made this a few weeks ago:
Anyhoo, i probably won't have time during pax to meet up, but i'll keep an eye in here just in case.
I see this, this, this, this, this, and this. Maybe we should message all of them, create one big group event, then source it over here?
I am trying to condense on Ravelry here in the Remnants forum so all the people in the other forums talking about it meet in the same place (though the Boston Yarn Party one would also be reasonable since it's in Boston.)
The problem with sending all those people to this forum is they might not want to sign up for it, like not everyone here who knits, crochets, etc might want to join Ravelry.
I'm up for whatever though, I just want to hang with PAX attendees who also knit etc!
I've only been in the Hynes a couple times and am not sure how the setup would work. We may want to wait till closer to the event and then figure it out. Or we could go somewhere on Newbury St. How far are people willing to walk? (Across the street, 5 min, 10 min, etc.)
i had posted a thread on craftster a few weeks ago looking for fellow pax nerds (my handle over there is bethiej78 - feel free to PM me if any of you are members there)
i'd maybe be interested in meeting up, but i am not a fiber arts crafter. i can knit, but i stink at it (uneven tightness being my primary problem, slowness being my secondary one). will this definitely be exclusive to fiber arts?
dyaballikl - awesome jayne hat. i am in a firefly themed craft swap right now and i think my partner is making me one!

yay! hello, friend!
i could do that. i actually was thinking about embroidering CT samurai on a hoodie at some point, so that might work perfectly!!
and thanks, too, genesneaky!

I am definitely up for a meetup. I think it'd be neat, and I'd love to meet my fellow Ravelers. Also...that is a damned fine Jayne Hat and I want to see it in action!
Are we thinking 2:30 on Saturday for sure? I don't have the schedule in front of me so I'm not sure what all that's against, but tentatively this is penciled in.
What do people think about 2.30p on Saturday the 27th at the Prudential food court?
It's not elegant, but this way people can miss as little of PAX as possible if they feel really time constrained!
(Now I better go start thinking about knitting a lanyard for my badge... wonder if I'll have time to knit a dice bag?!)

And super thank you for the Ravelry suggestion, I'd never heard of it and am definitely joining
Watch out with the Ravelry! It quickly became a huge internet obsession of mine. A great procrastination outlet!
I have a feeling between that and PA my procrastination quota will be well-filled!
You won't be the only crafty hooker there! I'll be crocheting as well!
Let the hookers unite! :winky:
I find it way easier than knitting, though that's probably just because I've been crocheting for way longer and I am crazy uncoordinated with my left hand. But practice makes perfect I guess!
Yay, hookers! I'm excited. I don't know what project I'll be bringing with me yet.
In the meantime, I'm actually furiously crocheting a cover for my new Nook so I can bring it with me to PAX East. Can't wait to see what folks manage! I may bring some thread to try and crochet a DS cover as well, since I already have one for the PSP. I look forward to seeing what everybody's working on!
I'll stop by as soon as the PA Make A Strip panel lets out, which should be just before 2:30.
No laughing here! Any knitting is awesome knitting! (also if you have questions/problems I am more than happy to help!) What kind of yarn are you using? Are you on Ravelry?
Did you go to 09? We had to spend two hours in line and miss one of the PA panels in the process but we got in. The room they had him in was way too small, not very good planning by PA on that one.
I hadn't visited Ravelry before I saw this thread but I'm signed up as BlueTofu over there now.
As for the yarn I'm using Caron Simply Soft, 6 oz. on #8 needles. I'm alternating bands of garter stitch with rows of stockinette (I think that's how you spell it) to make textured stripes. This is the first knitting project I've done but I think I'm hooked. Frustrating at times but a lot of fun.
I too just signed up on Ravelry, I'm TheUsagi. This week's project is learning to knit in a round and how to do different kinds of increases/decreases because I'd like to start a hat soon.
(Oh, and I'm ScienceNerd101 on Ravelry)

Oh boy! Only 1.5 more days till it all starts, and 2.5 more days till knitting with people!
If you see a moderately tall Asian man that answers to Sam say hi to him. His lady is also a knitter (and he is a Magic player).

NewBury Yarns - Lots of yarn, friendly staff. They currently have three good sized racks of yarn on sale for 20% off.
Knit & Needlepoint - Small place, half the store is devoted to needlepoint patterns. They did have some pretty hand-dyed stuff, though.
Have fun and see you on Saturday!
