Jerusalem Knitting & Craft

I’ve created a shopping page for this site…I will include any yarn/craft shop in the Greater Jerusalem area (including comments) and any website where they gladly and easily ship to Israel.

Please e-mail me with any additions, or post a comment here or to the shopping page.

The new day of the week for meetings as of September will be Tuesdays.

The meetings for September will be:

September 6, 2005 from 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM (First Tuesday)
September 20, 2005 from 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM (Third Tuesday)

I do need to confirm this with Cafe on the Rails, but you can pencil it in to your date book.

October may be only one meeting (if at all…) because of all the holidays scattered throughout the month.

If you would like any special themes…like stitch markers, or a specific technique, please let me know.

Do you have a group of knitters/crocheters/crafters that already meet in Jerusalem? Do you want to publicize your group? Let me know and I’ll add the information to this blog.

I am hoping to start a lunch group at Hebrew University (Har Hatzofim campus) in November (after the Holidays).

I’ve received a request to do the next meeting (August 15th) later in the week. I’d consider doing it on the 16th, but Cafe on the Rails will be busy. I’m thinking about looking into doing a class in creating stitch markers at one of the Emek Refaim bead places.

I’ll let you all know if I have any luck! It could be a fun thing to learn. I’ll check on prices and time frames…maybe even later in the week.

If you want an idea of what these look like, here are some online pictures.

There seems to be momentum growing in the poll for day meetings. As someone who works days, that isn’t something feasable for me, but I see that there are others who would like it. My suggestion is to comment to this post with information regarding convenient days/times and I will help you get it started.

Let me know how I can help facilitate this…
