… things to do …
Swatch, swatch, swatch! Indeed, you can find the motto above (and 9 others) painted around the perimeter of one of Chicago’s finest moments, the Stitching Salon!
Gathering on any afternoon, you will find like-minded and passionate knitters of all ages and skills DOWNTOWN at 72 E. Randolph St. I took this picture on opening day when it was standing room only – so many knitters showed up they were lined up outside the gallery waiting to get in!
This has proved to be so popular,
it has been extended until March 31, 2007.

WOW! I wish I had something like that here!
Holy handpainted yarn, b. Marie! Both pieces of news are terrific. I may even be able to participate now that the Salon has been extended. And a new yarn emporium in the hood? Tres cool.
I’m there in my dreams…
The Big Windy is good to its knitters! I love that photo, it looks like they are at some kntting starting line, poised, ready to start.
Dang, makes me wish I lived there. How cool!
Wow I would love if you posted some alternate sock yarn project ideas…
I was thrilled to get the email about the Stitching Salon being extended. I hope they give Lauren a raise! I’ve been down only twice(opening day and once for a film) but it makes me so happy to know it’s there and has been a success. Hope to see you at a KIP soon.
I wish we had something like that around here. It looks like tons of fun…
Iris in Germany
Wow, that is really beautiful!
I wonder…how easy would it be to set something like that up here in Columbus?
(Wow…community action? What’s gotten into Rat? ;))
Yet another reason why Chicago is the greatest city on earth and Mayor Daley is a pimp!
