Knit(blog)ers' picnic.

Anyone else like the sound of that? Particularly if you're in the SF Bay Area? It'd be nice to socialize outside, and take advantage of the summer weather. It would even be possible to include non-knitting family, friends, significant others, etc.

Mebbe in about a month? Potluck? At a park in southern Alameda County, like Del Valle or Sunol or Joaquin Miller, to make it easy for Peninsular people to attend?

Addendum: Here's what I'm thinkin'. Lake Chabot Marina, in San Leandro. Very close to 580, not far from 92, so it's accessible from the other side of the Bay.  Josie, Tina, and me checked it out this afternoon, and it's a nice little spot.

Here's what it has, in addition to picnic areas with grills:

• A bike path around the lake
  
• Paddle boats for rent
  
• Fishing
  
• Volleyball courts
  
• Horseshoe pits (Whoreshoes venue?)
  
• A snack bar, which they rather grandly call a cafe. But still, cold drinks, in case you forget them.
  
• Plumbed toilets

I like me a developed park. A park with amenities.  I'm thinkin' I'll reserve a picnic area for Sunday, September 18.

I'd be happy to organize, if there's interest. Leave a comment if you're up for it, with preferences as to date and location, if you have any.
