I over came my shyness and asked Amy if I could take a photo for my blog.

Then there was Knit-Out. Honestly, I think I’ve outgrown this event. I am no longer interested in muscling my way to the vendors tables for free patterns or equipment. I know most of the yarn stores in the city so I didn’t need to elbow my way to those areas either. I wandered by the guild, lessons, and charity-knit/crochet tables. I did some people watching. When a table cleared up, I picked-up some stuff for my KB@W that I thought they might like.

Mostly, I was amazed by the lines. I have no idea what was going on at this table but everybody wanted it, and in the second photo, these are all people waiting to get free Clover needles.  The line snaked to the opposite end and was starting to wind around one corner of the park.  I wanted to yell, “People, take those 20% off coupons some of the stores are giving out and buy needles from them instead!”

In the past it was always more interesting because I helped at the Habu table or hung out with The Yarn Tree folks. I enjoyed answering questions and talking about the yarns.  I loved watching people’s faces when they learned a yarn could be made from paper or stainless steel. It felt a little sad to not be excited by Knit-Out anymore. I suppose that’s how it is some years. Is this some type of a sign?  Have I moved to new level?  I assuaged my disappointment by eating a big breakfast of eggs and bacon at the diner on University Place - food always helps!
