Mid-week Meetup

In addition to the regular Sunday meetings some people are trying to organize a mid-week meetup. There will be a meeting Tuesday October 21st at 3pm till about 7pm at the Starbucks next to KB Bank in Itaewon. Look for the knitters on the 2nd floor. The mid-week group will also meet Wednesday November 5th at 10am in the same location.

There are about 62 people on our email list. Last Sunday we had a record turnout of more than 15 people. That means there's over 45 people on our email list that don't come out to Stitch n Bitch. Now, I know some of you are members who've left Korea and others are just spammers waiting for a chance to strike, but I figure a lot of people on the list are knitters who can't meet on Sunday afternoons.

Rachel, one such member, has said that she'd like to start a mid-week group. Consequently there's some discussion going on the email list about where and when to meet. If you're interested in meeting sometime that isn't the first and third Sunday of each month, please join in that conversation. Two mid-week meetups are scheduled but nothing's written in stone.

And just to be clear, this isn't any sort of "rival" group. There's certainly enough fiber love to go around Seoul. We'll continue to meet as usual as long as there's people coming out.

Stitch n Bitch: Now on Facebook.

Not only do we have a blog, an email list, and a Google Group. Stitch n Bitch now has its very own Facebook group.

Thanks to Rachel (who is also trying to start up a mid-week meeting) we have our very own group on Facebook. I'm really glad she took the initiative to get that done. I barely know how to check my messages on Facebook and it's a good month if I update my status once. I'm definitely not a Facebook user but I know lots of people are so go check us out over there!

Directions to Cafe T+

We no longer meet at Cafe T+. Please join our Google Group mailing list for the latest information.

We meet every first and third Sunday of every month.

Cafe T+ in Hyehwa/Daehagno.
Here are your directions:

Go to Hyehwa Station, Line 4, Exit 4. When you come out of the station you'll be facing a Baskin Robins. Turn left. Walk all the way to the end of the street. It's not a paved street but a tiled one full of little shops and booths and other fun stuff. At the end of the street on your right will be a Watsons and Cafe T+ is upstairs from that. Just before you get to Watsons/T+ There's a Smoothie King. The cafe has a large welcome mat that has a green T+ on it.

If you get so that you can see a Dunkin Donuts and a Starbucks clearly across the intersection, you've gone too far.

The Cafe itself is on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the building. We'll be on the 3rd. When you get up there, there's sort of a glassed off area on the left, and we'll be in there hopefully at the largest table. They serve wine, coffee (latte, cappuccino, etc.) salads, pasta, and pizza.

I also know that bus 143 from Noksapyeong will take you to Hyehwa station near exit 2. Cross the road for exit 4.
101, 102, 104, 107,106, 108, 140, 143, 149, 150, 160, 161, 162, 301, and 407 also all go there.

If you're coming down from the north on any of those busses it will drop you very close to T+. The stop is called Sungkyunkwan University. But it doesn't often announce in English. It's one stop after Hansung University which does announce in English.

151, 171, 172, 272 drop you off almost outside Cafe T+ if you're coming up from the South. The stop is Sungkyunkwan University as well.

Hope to see lots of you out. If you get lost or anything give me a call. My
