Crafting in the Cab

Now there's a reason to do an about-face in your opinion of truckers. You know, those omnipresent behemoths of the highway that make drivers of "fuel-efficient" and "compact" cars (like me) cringe as they pass at 80 miles per hour and spew mud and rain and slap your windshield with slush?

Gotta read this. Looks like they do have redeeming qualities.
The Wall Street Journal publishes: "Idle Pastime: In Off Hours, Truckers Pick Up Stitching"

There's something discordant in this: "Kevin Abraham-Banks, a 37-year-old trucker with a shaved head and dragon tattoos, passes time at truck stops with his cocoa and knitting."

At the crossroad

The town known at "Connecticut's Crossroads," because it sits at the crossroads of Route 9 and Interstate 91 in the center of the state, has a knitting club that meets on Friday nights.
I haven't visited yet, but I wonder if someone who has would fill us in.
The Cromwell Belden Public Library, 39 West St., (860) 632-3460, Adult Knit Club meets on the second Friday of the month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Arch Room.

Knitters are invited to join other fiber enthusiasts and bring what is on their needles or a completed project to share.
Enter through the Town Hall entrance since the library is closed Friday nights.
