It’s hard to believe the little group of foul-mouthed, sassy string-slingers that spawned from the Can You Swear on Ravelry thread are now approaching TEN THOUSAND strong and four years going! FOUR YEARS, MAN…four years. I was a very different person in February of 2007. I was married, a carnivore, a size 14, a student and a mother of one. I am now a divorced vegetarian wearing a size six, a small business owner and mother of two. Fuck!
I’m a happier person now, a wiser person and I’ve watched so many of the people I love on LSG blossom into ever-improving versions of their former selves and it’s been really fantastic. We’ve seen dozens of babies born, college graduates, newlyweds and scary disease…so much can happen in four years.
Our annual anniversary WEBS trip in February is one of the highlights of my winter (I am so a child of summer), and it was awesome to see everyone! Here’s the belated photos (sorry ladies!), all six of them! Hey…I was busy buying yarn I don’t need, alright?
Debbie (ritsuka) spinning fine webs using some kind of witchcraft.
Nadine (Yarnfrog42), Andrea and her fab new cut (ZantiMissKnit) and Tiffany (AlpacalipsNow)
Chrystee (playinglife) lookin’ pretty in the window light.
Megan (MetalJune13) and Jenna (KnarlyKnitter) did well…
Group shot! Not pictured: Shelby (Ealachan). We always have lunch at the FABULOUS Northampton Brewery after WEBS. The place is amazeballs. I recommend getting the paddle with 4 beers to sample. It’s about eight dollars and enough to get you a little cranked, which I assume everyone wants after binging on yarn?
Debbie (ritsuka) and her boyfriend being adorable…help Debbie, I lost his name in my brainfog.
See you next year, LSG! (And hopefully before that because I refuse to miss Rhinebeck this year!)
