Knitting with strangers (and one friend)

Can I just say I'm pretty excited about my first Knitting Meet-Up tonight?

Of course I'm excited about learning how to knit my own scarves and hats and mittens (and eventually earning the right to wear this tshirt ;)) - but I'm also interested in getting together with a bunch of strangers who found each other online based on one common interest.

I'm going with my friend Nikki, for her knitting expertise and, well, because I'm a scaredy-cat, for her moral support. Plus the meeting is in a pub, and we might want a few pints first :)

I'll report back later.
