S&B London is run by five very hardworking young ladies, in their spare time, purely for the love of the knit. They teach, organise, write, and do knitting somersaults and cartwheels (all for no profit at all) to ensure London and the Knit live in woolly harmony.

Stitch and Bitch London was created on a chilly December night in a South London pub. Laura Parkinson (learned to knit as a wee bairn but forgot), Lauren O’Farrell (enthusiastic future knitter) and Georgia Reid (getting back on the knitting horse after a few years), bored of wasting away as non-knitters contributing no woolly goodness to the world, decided to enter the bizarre world of public knitting.

One sunny sunday in afternoon in early January 2005 the first Stitch and Bitch London meeting was held (in the 'swanky' environs of Canary Wharf).

We knit, we bitched, we drank a little, we laughed till it hurt, and we saw it was good. In fact knitting in public was so fabulous we craved more, more I tell you! Not just for ourselves, but for everyone!

And so through that eerie world they call the Internet, through the wonders of mySpace and Facebook, and through the clicking needles and swirling yarn of three London ladies, a group was born that has continued to knit up a storm all over our fair city.

In May 2007 we expanded the S&B London team to five. The Stitchettes were officially inaugurated.

All five us of work our knitty hearts out for the love of the knit in our spare time (for no money at all, but the odd cake or drink from a S&BL attendee keeps us going).

We have gone from three to literally thousands of mailing list members.

In March 2007, much to our surprise, we won the British Handknitting Association's Biggest Knitting Group in the UK.

We love to knit, we are utterly in love with our fair city of London, and we love to Stitch and Bitch.

We are taking over the city one new knitter at a time. Our ongoing mission is to spread woolly love and convince the world to submit to the knit.

Georgia left us to knit in the loveliness of Glasgow in the summer (she runs her own little sibling group), and we have gone on without her, though we miss her wise words and constant stream of unfinished knits. The lovely Laura Delaat also took up the Stitchette badge for a while, we miss her technical wizardry and endless baby knits too.
