Our knitting group is called "The Piscataqua River Knitting Club". Why you ask? Well, let me tell you....some of the members "live" on boats (in the summer) at a marina. The marina is located on Badger Island in Kittery, Maine, and the island is located on the Piscataqua River that flows into the Atlantic Ocean 3miles away.
Is this an awesome place, absolutely!!!! Across from our Marina is Portsmouth, NH, to our left is the Memorial Bridge, to our right is the Sarah Long Bridge and the 95 Bridge. It does not get any better than this.
So, when trying to think of a name for our knitting group, it seemed appropriate to name ourselves by the very river we live on. In my blogs to follow, I will explore the history of our river as well as Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
So ends my blog for today.
