I checked into the hotel and walked over to Appleby’s for dinner and a few beers. I’m an irregular regular there so they all know me.
I took my knitting along, the Irish hiking scarf, and worked on it while I enjoyed a few beers. Predictably several of the female employees came over to check out my knitting and fawned over it. A couple of the female customers also stopped by to make comments.
Naturally I was enjoying myself quite a bit. :lol:
At one point this young guy sitting a couple of stools down from me asked “Does that always happen?” I asked what he was talking about. “You know, the girls coming over and talking to you about THAT” pointing to my knitting.
I told him that yeah, it happens a lot. He said maybe he should learn how to knit. :rofling:
That’s funny! And Kaydee’s right–you should have offered to teach them so they could use it to pick up women! :lol:
Your scarf is lovely. And, based on what you wrote, maybe cables would be easy for me to learn…
Edited to add:
I just shared this story w/the Husband. He then asked me if I’d teach him how to knit…and then said, “Maybe I should ask someone else.” Good thing he’s cute!
Heh, Mason, whenever I knit in public like that I get into the weirdest conversations, mostly being stared at like I have a third head or something. but then, here in rural Idaho, it’s not real common to see a guy knitting, not that it’s more common anywhere else.
Funny, how a guy gets hit on when he knits and when I a 40 yr old woman knits, I’m told I’m old!
How does that work?
LOL, my man thinks it’s hot that I knit, which I find hysterical. But he’s also the type that thinks me being a good mom is a turn-on Totally old fashioned.
See, when I taught my 24-year old brother to knit, I told him it would attract chicks like nobody’s business. He didn’t believe me and he never knits. I should send him this thread …
Plus, then maybe he’ll finish this sweater I have for him waiting to be assembled, needs like a million intarsia ends woven in…
Totally old fashioned.
