Knitting and the Workplace

Thanks to a very generous donation from Knit Wit located on Munjoy Hill in downtown Portland and the WRC's Rachel Church, we had more than plenty of yarn to learn a handful of knitting skills last Wednesday during our most recent program.

The level of knitting skill was varied (personally, I learned little to nil but that's not a reflection of the time and effort others took to try and help me; more a reflection of my lack of knitting skill!) Marianne Benson from USM's Career Services office was present to help us not only with our knitting needles, but to lead our discussion on women in the workplace!

We munched on goodies from Hannaford (cookies, turnover bites, ginger snaps, oh my!) and the as always, delicious tea from the North Star Cafe.

Next week, I hope to add pictures to the blog so everyone can see what this wonderful program looks like in action! We take over the section of chairs and loveseats just outside the Womens Resource Center and usually have an overflow of people from seats on to the floors, arms of chairs, et cetera. Isn't it about time you joined us for one of our meetings?

Next Meeting: November 19th, Women in Poetry

We'll be making our own magnetic poetry and as always sipping on that sweet sweet tea and arsenic :)

P.S - Despite my inability to knit propperly, I have NOT given up! There's still hope for this scarf!
