F was back with the shrug. No, it’s not what you think. She really finished the shrug; she just forgot to swap projects in her knitting bag. We’ve all been there. T made a triumphant return with her red lace. M worked on a knit helmet. She claims to have a sweater that looks like chain mail. We sense a theme. M finished her crab socks and is wearing them right now. N brought her Knit Picks sampler sweater and intimidated everyone. M was working on a sweater for her granddaughter with very nice buttons and she had her completed sock from the Stitch n’ Pitch with an afterthought heel. T was making practice swatches. L crocheted a hat with some silk blend hand dyed. Very lovely.
Over the course of the evening N claimed that if one revised 10% of a pattern it could be claimed as one’s own. We clamored for verification. She said maybe 20%. We wanted to know if that was in print or in surface area. The numbers people noted the very big difference between 10 and 20 percent.
We recapped the Stitch n’ Pitch. L’s husband said, “It’s not a ball game without some drunken floozy spilling a drink on you”. Or he said something like that. The poor man could speak from experience. M told us that the hot dog stand ran out of hot dogs AND relish! Some people had been wondering where the relish was and were relieved to have closure. The hot dogs weren’t the same without it. L snapped a picture of M, an elusive SSNB member, so we all got to see her.
Some SSNB members are headed down to the Fiber Festival in Michigan with Windy City on Saturday. M wanted to know what kind of shoes to wear and whether her concern of stepping in poop was relevant. Poop should only be a concern if one hangs out with the animals. Indeed, petting the beasts was on her Fiber Fest agenda. (Petting the beasts doesn’t sound quite right.) Flat shoes were recommended so that the poop wouldn't get stuck in crevices. Supposedly you should be able to hose your shoes off. (That doesn't sound quite right either.)
The latter part of the snb is off the record. That’s right, the proceedings were censored and one had to be present to get the juice.

Hope they have a good time at the fiber festival. Our Wisconsin on is great too!!!
Sounds like a great SnB night. Ours are fizzling out lately!! =(
We're housed at a community arts center. I think that makes a huge difference for attendance.
