Think knitting in a cafe is exciting? Try a bar!

Pub knitting – or Stitch 'n' Bitch as it is called in the United States – has now hit Wellington.

Knitworld's Trish McHardy is behind the latest craze, and has set up monthly pub knit meets at the Bristol Hotel in Cuba Mall for both new hip "urban knitters" and experienced hands like herself.

The Kelly Girls did try to have a knit-in at Hopleaf last winter, but we happened to pick the week they closed for remodelling. Ah, well. There was some concern about mixing alcohol and sharp pointy sticks, but I'm sure we'd have managed.
