Hey, this is just a shout out to those in the Raleigh/Durham (NC) area...

Hi Knitting Mentors,
I need your help. I probably can think this one out, but I just don't have the time. It's a badly written pattern.
Ahem.....
Hey guys,
Having just returned to London I wonder how many of you go to

Anybody that browses here, and lives near Atlanta, GA there is a LYS in Woodstock (about 25 miles north of downtown) that has an evening for knitters to get together once a week and knit, swap stories
Having never made anything for myself, I was wanting to make a hat. The attached is a crochet pattern hat. Does anyone have a similar knitting pattern?

Hmmm...not sure if this is the right place to post this....but I wanted to say 'hey'.

Just wanted to brag a little bit. I've finished my first project!
