Chick with Sticks

I’ve been invited to join a needle work group, but I’m not sure if I want to go. As far as I know, I only know one person in the group, the person who invited me, and although she is very nice, we’re not close.

I’m kind of anti-social. Ok, very anti-social. I like my friends and can spend all day with them, but I don’t really have any interest in hanging out and meeting new people. If I meet someone and we happen to click, then great, I have a new friend. But by joining a group, I’ll feel obligated to like these people, even if I don’t really like them.

But I also feel obligated to go, since the woman who organizes the meetings mentioned me in the weekly email newsletter. She even linked to my blog (my other blog, I obviously wouldn’t write this if I thought the group would be reading it) and encouraged them to check out my shop.

The next meeting is this Saturday at a local coffee shop that I have been wanting to go to since it opened but haven’t had the chance to visit yet. So I might stop in just to check out the coffee shop.

Ugh, I don’t know…I’ll probably decide whether or not I’ll go about 10 minutes before it starts. Why can’t any of you, my wonderful friends, be knitters? I’d love to hang out with people I actually know and knit! Or you can just drink coffee while I knit.
