Fiber ... beer. Beer ........ fiber.
When I was growing up ... knitting was somewhat a solitary activity.
At our house, you sat quietly in the living room and knit. You would knit while listening to the stereo play the soundtracks to The Man of La Mancha or My Fair Lady. Quietly. You would never KIP'd. (That is Knitting In Public for the non-knitting public!) And loud raucous laughter??? Double Never!!!!!!
Well ... I really like KIP-ing. I carry my knitting everywhere...... and when I have a chance, I knit. Except at church ... which is really kind of difficult for me because there is a gal that knits all the way through church!! And I just want to say .... But she does it!!! But I don't, Lord. As much as I want to .... I don't. And I really try not to lust over her yarn. :)
So the other day ......... Honey and I went to Mineral Point for cheese, beer and fiber. And not in that order.
First stop ........ Brewery Creek brewery. Yea .... beer. Oh ... and food. We were hungry. And thirsty. Definitely thirsty.
We were seated at a small table near the window. But right next to three women that were finishing up their lunches. Somehow ... I picked up words that peaked my interest......... cloud, fiber, merino. Ahhh .... knitters and spinners. And then......... their needles were pulled out.
I suddenly found the perfect place to KIP!! A brewery!! I want to KIP at a brewery .... a nice IPA or stout in front of me. Maybe a amber ale or a porter. I want to KIP at a small local brewery!
So, there I was ...... with role models in front of me... turning heels, whipping up last-minute Christmas presents ........... just knitting away.
Honey knew I couldn't let it go. So after I finished my incredibly awesome Salmon-Caper salad with Hook's Paradise Blue Cheese crumbles over it (yea ... yummmmm!) .......... I stopped at their table and snapped this photo.
And talked. Ya gotta to talk to role models like this!!!! And I discovered even more role-model behavior. (other than the fact, they had been to a couple of yarn stores in the morning!)
Here ... on the cover of Spin-Off ... for posterity....... are the fingerless gloves that Jane (in red with that wonderful cabled scarf!) designed. And inside, their knitting group from Madison WI .... showing off all the variations.
Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History.
