I grew up in MA, and half my family lives there. Does that count?

Hey my dad lives in Taunton. Call him up and teach him to knit. I live in Oregon but we go back to visit MA every august. We usually stay at my mum's house on the cape though.

There's an informal group of folks that meet in the basement of Pandemonium (a local sci-fi/fantasy bookstore). We just started meeting October and meet Thursday nights on a bunch of comfy sofas they have there. The group was started as a "crafty" group-- not purely knitting-- but really, we're mostly knitters these days (from 4-10 folks, usually on the higher side).

Pandemonium Bookstore is located right in Central Square (Red Line), just behind the 7-11 next to the Cambridge post office and kitty-corner from Cambridge City Hall. We meet from 7-10ish and there's some really nifty folks/projects going on, and a mix of many different folks. We're talking of doing a yarn swap soon, and taking extra stuff to work on projects for good causes.

There's also a few other groups-- I just heard of one that meets at a local yarn store in Porter Square, but I've yet to check it out.

Feel free to c'mon by and meet the gang. :^)

I thought Pandemonium was the name of the book store in Harvard Square, near the Newbury Comics. Did they move?

Yep! They just reopened in their new location a few months ago. New location, BIGGER and more COMFY, and half the basement has tables for in-store gaming, the other half has comfy couches! And the third half has games-stuff. A three-half basement! :^b

That's awesome. I only went there a few times, but I liked it. I tended to avoid the trek to Cambridge because I used to get lost there a lot.

I probably won't have time to check it out next time I'm in Boston (Tuesday), but if I get this job (

) I'll definitely be showing up.
