In Which the Pirate Bitches More Than She Stitches.

I finally got back to SnB last night for the first time in a while. Seeing my fellow knitters at Borders last week reminded me of how much fun we have when we all get together! So after work I took a nap and was well-rested for the evening of yarniness. And then I spent more time talking than knitting! I brought the Stripey Striped Scarf with me and probably only knit eight rows on it. But it was worth it – I had a great time!

There was some talk about starting up theme nights. The first theme is next week; it’s going to be a “Show and Tell” evening in which we bring FOs and talk about the pattern. Someone mentioned wanting to make a So-Called Scarf out of either Manos or Malabrigo, I forget, so I’m going to bring mine (and the matching hat) to show. I think I’ll also bring the armwarmers! Hm, and maybe some yarn deserves showing off as well.

We also discussed doing a dyeing night, if we can get a volunteer to host it, and I’d like to have a spinning night as well.

Speaking of spinning, I’m considering that the green wool might be best if I spun it into something fine, lace- or fingering-weight, and then made a shawl of it. I want to make it into something that will show it off near my face, but I already have two green scarves, and I don’t need another hat. What I *don’t* have is a shawl…
