Knitter's Digest 10/1/07

N was working on a vest using two strands of lightly variegated yarn to avoid pooling. M was working on a sleeve for a sweater. J, a new friend, was working on a scarf. V dropped by with a skirt and went on to teach her 1st HPAC knitting class this year. F was working on handwarmers. She was also working on handwarmers last week, not a hat.

F brought up this beer machine where you insert a dollar and out rolls a beer. What is the meaning of this? Why haven't more of us received a cool beer for $1 in the manner of a can of soda? These machines are under populated.

V was there with news of a cute French guy who makes crepes and flirts. Any of the listed traits, French accent, crepes cook, or flirting might make a guy attractive. All three together render the lady a bit helpless. V said the cute French guy liked her vegetables. Yup.

J and M launched into a lengthy discussion of psychology. From anterograde amnesia to the gorilla experiment to social loafing to mourning Alex the parrot who died unexpectedly around age 30 to William James' visits to the psychic to the DSMs, all was discussed. Someone should've taken notes for an intro to psych exam.

V's knitting class came to join the SSNB later on. We got to talking about facelifts. No one is fooled by a facelift. When your eyelids are battling your eyebrows for height, you got a facelift. Most of us preferred aging gracefully although there had been some complaining about menopause earlier in the evening. Youth is wasted on the young said one of the ladies in the knitting class.

Until the next digest.
