I was at a moderately fancy dinner last night after a talk by Allan Brandt, the author of "
The Cigarette Century" when the subject of knitting came up, you know, as it does. Two of the friends I was sitting with are knitters while the third, one of my house mates, isn't YET. We were blabbing away when I overheard a comment from the guys at the other side of the table... "It's like a meeting of Knitters Anonymous" over there!"
I quickly raised my right hand and said, maybe a little too loudly after three glasses of white wine, "Oh no, I am out and proud! I'm a knitter and I'm damned good at it!"
Those people may avoid me from now on.
Pattern: Jaywalkers by Grumperina. I'm too lazy to find out where the pattern has gone to after the fall of magknits.
Needles & Yarn: Knit Picks US 1 1/2, Regia Kaffe Fassett #4257 2 balls.
I love your jaywalkers. Damn good knitter, indeed.
ReplyDeleteYour socks look great, and if you ever are looking for the pattern again, I have it in my hard drive, and my Palm Pilot!!! Ha!! I'll show Magknits!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, hehe.. ravelry had free downloads of the pattern too.
You are a superb knitter, dammit!!! Who else am I suppose to look to for sweater ideas??? You should have told that friggin' guy to go suck an egg too. LOL!!!
Ahaha, I love it! I've been in that situation too, where you find the other knitters in a room, and suddenly it's like no one else is saying anything worthwhile- you can talk yarn and stitches! Sounds like you had a fun night.
