Shakespeare & Co "Again "

In this month we the "Amiras" kinda feel that we need to knit together more then twice and so we are:)

Therefore we are going to meet on Tuesday 20th December again at Shakespeare & Co in Al Rehan Area..

That cafe was our choice last month because it was close to the home of a Mom to be knitter .... and we chose it again this month for almost the same reason , but this time so we can see the new MOM and her adorable lil girl....

so Tuesday 20th from 10 am .....

check the previous article for the map location...

happy holidays for all

Last Friday meeting of the year 2011

It has been a good year for our group , new members arrived and sadly few will leave us this December.

So this is a reminder not to miss this Last Friday (9 Dec) meeting of the year 2011 at the usual place : Caribou Coffee - Marina Mall - from noon till whenever :)

Some of the Dubai Amiras will join us this Friday so it is going to be a blast like always :)

Shakespeare & Co

It was so nice to have new knitters joining us that morning..

The coffee shop Shakespeare & Co was easy to find ...(an advice don't look at their map it is WRONG LOL) ....

the nice thing about the place it is quiet and not overcrowded ......

use this is alternative map

Mid week meeting

Since we love to get any chance to meet and knit over a cup of coffee or tea , so we are adding a new official day to our meeting in addition to the 2nd Friday of the month...

so our meetings are as follows:

-2nd friday of the month ----Caribou Coffee Marina Mall , from noon onward..

-4rth Tuesday of the month ----10am onward and the location to be assigned on Friday...

So this coming Tuesday 22nd November we will meet at Shakespeare & Co - Guardian Towers 31rst st- Rehhan area in AD.... (check their facebook page for a location map)

Heads Up! Again!!

Well the meetings are coming together this month in such a way that the Dubai and Abu Dhabi meetings are back to back. SO this week we will be meeting in Abu Dhabi and instead of our usual Caribou Coffee (because it's ramadan and they are closed!) we will be meeting at one of the ladies houses! If you don't know the location (sorry not putting it out on a blog for all to see!!!) then email me at lndsy928AThotmailDOTcom and i'll get you all the details... or better catch us at our Ravelry Group where we are always chatting about the next meet!

Also this will be a dyeing party so bring your naked yarn!!!

Heads up!

FYI: I know this is a little late! Sorry!! But wanted to let you all know that we are still meeting tomorrow at our usual place (Caribou Coffee in Marina Mall) but we will be getting together a bit earlier at 1:00 pm... don't worry if you can't make it until our usual 3:00 pm we'll all be there chatting and knitting away we just wanted a few extra hours of fun! See you there!!!

WWKIP Day - UAE!

We will be interrupting our regular meeting time (on friday the 12th) this month because....

It's time to celebrate our very own holiday! World Wide Knit in Public Day on June 13th!

Let's all get together at the Starbucks in Abu Dhabi Mall on Saturday the 13th at 12 pm so that we can maximize knitting time.

Let me know if I can provide directions from Dubai for anyone.

Hoping to see you there!!

March meeting!

Like Lulu said :when we ,the Amiras, meet we usually stay at the Caribou café until there is nothing we can talk about and that is never!!!!
The things that let us leave are sometimes : a daddy not being able to handle the baby , or a husband who is bored ,and even more not to miss the hairdresser appointment for attending a big wedding the same night..Otherwise we would stay till the café or the mall closes its doors.

Eva we missed your presence.....
Charmaine too , but hey she is having fun in london :)

Not so much knitting happened during this month meeting , we were busy in catching up and having each others opinion on our WIPs...

I know i know , you want photos :)

On my way to Marina Mall , i took a picture of Emirates Palace and the humidity that is rising..eeek

Lindsay creative art ;)

Rama (the hand) and Kundi discussing their FLS.

Lindsays' WIPs , the Noro scarf and at the background her FLS...

There she is trying on her FLS and not looking so happy that the verdict was : RIPPED OFF it is small;

A huge amount of free yarn given to us by our dearest Lulu who will leave us and go back home to South Africa...you will be totally missed lulu....

on the way home i managed to take a shot of one of Emirates Palace fountain.

see you all hopefully soon....
