And a good time was had by all

What could be better on a cold and rainy Sunday than the warmth of new friends getting together to enjoy an afternoon of knitting and chocolate? Here was a group of like minded souls whose passion for knitting was surpassed (perhaps) only by their passion for chocolate. We tasted, we knitted, we tasted more, we finished a row, we laughed.

It was so clear by the end of our hour at NOE KNIT that the real connection between knitting and enjoying fine chocolate was really about mindfulness. Stopping and savoring each piece of chocolate to find out what secrets of terroir it held for us to uncover in the same way that we discover what secrets a skein of yarn reveals once knitted into a scarf or sweater.  But the best part of all was the discovery that any serious knitter also keeps a stash of chocolate in their knitting bag. Kindred spirits indeed!
