Re: [LincolnTalk] Knitting supplies?
I am confirming that there is a group of us who meet at the library on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 8:30 pm. The group started a year or two before Covid hit, and then of course if was shut down, but we started up again in late 2022. Anyone who knits, or does other fiber art, is welcome to come anytime. We would love to have additional people! Some of us probably have extra supplies that we’d be happy to donate to someone starting out. In addition to the resources mentioned below by others, there is a new store in Weston called The Unruly Stitch.

Re: [LincolnTalk] peaches from the georgia peach turck?
From the picture below, it looks like the peaches stayed in their original packaging - correct me if that wasn’t the case. The directions that came with ours said to to take them out and put them stem side down on a towel on the counter a couple of inches away from each other, which we did. After a few days they ripened, and were delicious. We only lost a few. Pam Boardman Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 12, 2021, at 6:35 AM, Marissa Leonce wrote: > > > YES!

[LincolnTalk] ISO rowing machine
Hi LT, My daughter, who lives in Somerville, is looking for a rowing machine, ideally one that folds up or can be propped up against the wall when not in use.

[LincolnTalk] Knitting/Fiber Arts at the Library on Wednesday nights
Dear LT, Since we are starting a new year, it seems appropriate to remind everyone that a group of us meet at the Lincoln Public Library for knitting and other fiber arts on Wednesday nights from 7:00 - 8:30 pm. Anyone is welcome to join, and we would love to see some new faces! If you have any questions, please contact me directly. Best, Pam Boardman -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.
