Still trucking up and knitting here and there when not trucking up.
Am in Cheyenne, WY tonight, watching it snow (Ummm, it is Spring, right?). Was sitting in the saloon knitting and enjoying a few adult beverages, and had some nice conversations with a few people, mostly women, about knitting.
One waitress told me how much she always wanted to learn how to knit. I gave her a quick lesson on cast on, knit, and purl, and promised that next time I’m here I would spend some more time, at her house, giving her some more lessons.
She said she would go buy some needles and yarn and practice what I showed her, as well as watch the videos here at KH, and be ready for the next time I pass through. She even promised to cook me dinner in exchange for knitting lessons.
It really is funny how something as old and simple as knitting can be such a conversation catalyst.
We had snow here on Easter. We went most of winter, not being winter and now that it’s spring, well its winter again!
You always have a great story. You will have knitting students all across the country!
Way to go, Mason, we should get you a red sash that says “KH Knitting Ambassador” for when you accidently step into a building for adult beverages.
As far as the weather in Wyoming . . . we lived there for a bit, the snowy spring will lead to five weeks of summer, then snow again. Of course,you know this, trucking up as you do. I couldn’t take it, probably 'cause I didn’t have knitting to relieve stress then.
I enjoy being alone most of the time, but can’t disagree with these words of wisdom. There are times when everyone needs to enjoy the company of fellow human beings.
Love to read about your knitting conversion stories! It’s great that you got to meet someone so friendly, and you’ll even get a nice home-cooked meal out of it!
