i'm from south philly.

I am from Northeast Phlly.[/list]

so wherabouts are you both from? If you dont want to write it on the forum pm me. I am from fishtown, but Im more like a country girl in personality :teehee:

Ladies, I will be in Philly for a meeting in August.....I would love to take a a side trip to a local yarn shop.....

I was born and raised in the suburbs of Philly (Delaware County), spent many happy summers with my godfather in Olney and lived for a couple of years in Overbrook. I now live in Northern Ireland, but at heart I'll always be a Philadelphia girl.

:waving: I live in Glenside, about 15 miles NW of Philly. I work in Center City and sometimes I shop at Rosie's Yarn Cellar and I love A Tangled Web in German Town.

:muah: :hug:

Hi!
I work in Philadelphia and live in South Jersey. I've been to Rosie's a few times but there are also about 4 great yearn stores right accross the Ben Franklin in Jersey. I also take a really good class at a local High School. I've only been knitting for about four months but I love it and have completed about 5 projects already. I also sew, quilt, rubber stamp and scrapbook; I'm a bit of a craft whore :oops: !!

Hi There!

I'm a transplant to northern Bucks County but grew up in Lawndale. Hilltown is north of Chalfont. It's beautiful out here, but I miss the convenience of living in Northeast Philly. My daughter lives in Wissinoming and my other daughter just moved from Port Richmond to Langhorne.

I love to knit, crochet, and quilt. Lately our family has had a run on new babies and I've been busy making baby blankets. Right now I'm getting ready to make a sweater for my grandson who is 3 1/2. I just bought a Krafty Knitter Loom Kit and I've been playing around with it. Michael's has them on sale for $10 so I thought...why not! It reminds me of those pot holder looms we all had when we were kids but it seems to do a whole lot more... :cheering:

Well, guess I better get busy knitting. Hope to "talk" to you all again soon! :muah:

Hi,

I'm near Philly. I live in Southern New Jersey (raised and married here). I was born in West Philly.

I'm a crocheter and beginner knitter. I run my own crocheting and knitting group that meets twice a month. I'm also a scrapbooker and run my own scrapbooking group.

ecb

I live in Southwest Philly.

Hi there! I live in Langhorne and have a club that meets every Tuesday night. E-mail me if you would like to come.
TyroneMinx - where in Olney? What school did you go to? I grew up at Front and Cheltenham - not far from you!

Betcook - does your daughter knit? She could come to my club!:happydancing:

~Sharon

I live in Glenside, but I grew up in West Oaklane and my mom lives in Olney. Where's Langhorne?

:muah: :hug:

Nadja :knitting:

I'm in Burlington NJ and would LOVE to find someone near me!!!

knitcindy

Langhorne is in Lower Bucks County. Between Oxford Valley Mall and Neshaminy Mall (if you're a shopper that should help ;-) )

~Sharon

I'm also in Philly:) South Philly, currently, but raised in Center City. I previously worked in a great yarn store on South St. (I miss going to the Knitting Circles, too, I've been a slacker with knitting lately :x) I'm attempting to get out of a knitting funk.

Anywho, it's nice to meet my fellow neighbors here at KH. :)

I'm in South Jersey - about 45 minutes from Center City. I went to grad school in Philly, though, and grew up visiting relatives weekly in the Northeast, and always shopping in South Philly. Nice to know there are some kh'ers around!

Funny thing I started this post a long time ago and forgot to follow up on it:eyes:I just realized nadja said shes been to Rosies yarn cellar and I live like 15 min from it. I have shopped there quite a few times myself. How much do ya wanna bet we were in there at the same time lol:)

i havent been to rosie's yet, but nangellini has some really nice stuff right now. she just bought some stock from 2 stores going out of business.

Where is nangellini? I know where Rosies is, but haven't gotten there yet. Sounds like I might be having to plan a Philly yarn crawl!

it's on south street between 8th and 9th - so not too far away from rosie's.

Wow, how nice to see some Philly action on the KH board. I work in the city but live out in Montgomery county.
A friend and I just made a lunchtime excursion to Rosie's this past week and we've been to Sophie's (love her cat!!), but I'm not familiar with nangellini's. I'm going to have to check that out.

nadja la claire, I pass through Glenside every weekday on the R5 :)

Lots of Philly knitters around here. Maybe we can get Nadja out for a knit-nite, when she is ready.

I was thinking about that too - I'd be willing to keep track of all of us who are interested, and then attempt to get us all to meet when Nadja is up to it. PM me if you're interested.

I live about 1 hour from Philadelphia in PA.

cinnamon_girl, I live in Montgomery County too.

Are any of you still active on KH or am I the only SE PA member left?

i dont know about everyone else, but threesmom and i are still active

:waving:Yup, here I am! Spikey is still around here someplace too.

Me too!:waving:

Here I am! Thanks, threesmom, for remembering me.
Have any of you ever been to Ewe and I in Bryn Mawr www.eweandi.com ? It is my LYS and they have just started having Knit Night Out on Wednesday nights, from 6:30-8:30, with BYO drinks and snacks.

A few friends from my knitting class and I have been talking about going. Maybe next week.

Anyone interested?

Spikey

:woohoo:That post just moved me up from "casting on" to "ribbing the cuff"

Thanks, Philly Girls!

Hey guys!! :waving:Hey cinnamon_girl. There's a really great LYS right in downtown Glenside called Stitcher's Dream and Stephanie's has moved to Jenkintown, but Stitcher's Dream is the best and I'm not just saying that because I'm going to be teaching some classes there next year. Everyone if you want to just sit back and knit or crochet and feel at home Stitcher's Dream is the place. They also have stuff for sewers and quilters.

Hello everyone! I just joined the forum this evening. I'm from Philly too! I live in South Philly a few block below the Italian Market. It's so wonderful to find people in my area who knit. Just wanted to say hi and I hope I'm not too late to join the Philly knitters post. :knitting:

Im still here too:teehee:Im lurking

Never too late, RosemaryM, welcome to KH!

Hope all the Philly folks are enjoying this beautiful weather.

Spikey

Hey Philly gals I've been PMing Spikey, threesmom and stagebear about doing a LYS of the month thing. Stagebear, threesmom and I met up at Sophie's. Maybe in November we could all do a meet up at Tangled Web or Stitcher's Dream.

Rosemary, you're quite close to me. I'm down by John's Water Ice. :)

I am from West Philly/University City.

I am also a relatively frequent haunt of Loop on South Street near 20th. I've been to Rosie's once but have not been to the others.

I have too many WIPs and am feeling scattered.
:pout:
Rie

I am in Montgomery County. I can get to almost any where in Philly, but SEPTA out my way runs weird at night.

Has anyone considered any day time get-togethers?

Just wondering.

im not from philli but i am from glenrock

In in N. PHilly! Would love to be part of any knitting groups.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site. I'm really enjoying reading the entries from other knitting lovers. I live in Lancaster, PA but was born in Wynnefield and went to Overbrook High.

Hi Girls,
Welcome!
We've been talking about getting the Philly KHers together, but no definite plans yet.
Anyone interested? It is so busy right now, but maybe after the holidays...

I'd be interested after the hectic holidays!

I live in Delaware County, just west of Philadelphia.

Hi Philly!
We need to be back on the first page. Let's get some action around here :yay:

Best wishes to all for a wonderful 2008!

Anyone want to help plan a PhillyKH Knit Nite?

Wow, I thought I had single-handedly killed the thread!

I'd probably attend something like that, but I have too much on my plate to consider planning it.

[QUOTE=SteveDallas;1034541]Wow, I thought I had single-handedly killed the thread!

No, that's usually my job! :wink:

I'd also be interested in attending if we can find a central location.

Me too:wink: Theres been so much talk since I first posted this topic and I didnt even know it:teehee:

You know I'm up for it. Just let me know where and when. My DIL is a member of the 3rd Street Ravelers and they meet at High Grounds on 3rd and Spring Garden Streets on Tuesday nights maybe we could do a combo. What do you think?

Hi, I live in Haverford. I just made a big mistake on a blanket I am working on. I need help! It would be great to find a knitter in my area.
Pat

Yayy Philly! I was born in West Philly and grew up in Jersey, but now I'm BACK as an undergrad at Penn. I LOVE Loop...planning on going there tomorrow actually!

I live in Mont Co. not in Philly. I'm not sure I can join in something at night, the SEPTA runs out my way after 6pm kind of... stop going regular and the drivers seem to turn around before they reach the end of their routes. But daytime would be great :)

Wooooot!!!!

I'm in West Philly, lived in CC for a few years still hang around the city every once in a while.

Yeah Philly!!!

I heart Rosie's Yarn Cellar.

I just joined this site this afternoon and tonight saw the Philly thread, so I had to put in my two cents. I grew up in South Jersey (just 20 minutes from the Walt Whitman), live in Montgomery county, my DD and SIL live in Fishtown, and I attend NYU on Thursdays and Fridays so I'm doing some of my yarn shopping in NYC, for this year anyway. Loved Sophie's, at least the last time I was there. My "go to" knitting shop is in Lansdale. Go Phillies!:woot: Nonni
