On Sunday, we had our first spinning group at my house. Oh what a good time! I met a few new people, saw some friends, and got to spin with the pack. Good times.
From left to right: Brooke, Janine, Lala, and Rachael.
Lea, Marlowe, and Renee. All blogless (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Kimberly and Liz of the pointy sticks contingent.
Sammie getting some lovin' from Jennie.
That dog loves a party! I think he volunteered himself into everyone's lap at some point during the day.
There were more people that I neglected to get photos of. My apologies for omitting them. At some point I forgot about the camera. I think we had about 15 folks.
We had a lot of fun and ate some great food. Thank you ladies for making our first Spin-In great.
There will be two Spin-Ins a month here (Richmond, California), second Sundays for a potluck brunch and fourth Thursdays in the evening. We've started a Google group, let me know if you want an invite. That is the best way to stay apprised of the schedule. We would love to have you join us!
I'm thinking we should try fiber samplings or themes or something else fun (have I said fun enough yet?).
In other news
Congratulations to Barry Bonds!!! It was amazing to see him hit 756. I am a big fan of Mr. Bonds. For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, he is now the all-time home run champion having just passed Hammerin' Hank Aaron's total of 755. Big happenings for baseball fans in the Bay Area.
Ooh, I don't spin and I don't really know what a google group is, but may I still have an invite? Pretty please? I'm all for fun.

That sounds like too much fun! How could Sammie resist?!

I'd like an invite. How much a newbie like me could learn in a group like that!! I'd bring a covered dish, too. Uh, I suppose the fact that CA and DE are close only alphabetically is gonna be a problem here. Darn!

I wish I lived close enough to come, darn it!

I'm even worse than Brooke when it comes to updating my blog--chalk it up to being lazy or wanting more time to spin and knit!

I had so much fun at the spinning group, thank you for inviting me! I have a call in about the wheel I can borrow. When I hear back I'll let you know what kind it is.

It looks like you had a great time. It is so good to share the love for knitting/spinning. I wish I lived closer.

Hi, Maia. I'm in Oakland and would love a spin-in invite if you are still providing them. I am not sure how often I'd be able to participate but look forward to receiving more info. Thanks!
