A bunch of useless crap
Published on February 10, 2007 By MasonM In Blogging
I was sitting here knitting, drinking a beer, and watching the idiot box when someone knocked on my door. WTF? It's a rare thing for someone to knock on my door. As I was in the middle of a round on my knitting I didn't want to lay it down and maybe stretch the stitches or have one slip off the needles so I carried it to the door with me. Being as the door is only like three feet away I didn't even need to pick up the skein.

When I opened the door I was met with a wonderous sight. It was a woman, probably in her mid to late thirties, nicely dressed, and drop dead, knock out, makes your tongue hard, gorgeous. Serious WTF time now. I greeted her in my normal at home and not expecting company look; uncombed hair, shorts, polo shirt, bare feet, and basically just looking like a wild man.

She glanced at the knitting in my hand and apologized for disturbing me and said that she was looking for an address. As my house isn't numbered she thought she would take a chance even though she was sure it wasn't the right one. I directed her to the correct address and we chatted for a moment. She actually asked "What are you knitting? It looks like the start of a sock."

I confirmed her assumption and we talked about knitting for a minute. She left apologizing again for disturbing me and as she climbed into her car said "There's something really sexy about a guy who knits." Me, being the total social dumbass that I am, just waved and smiled before walking back inside.

I need another beer.

OOhhh boy!  If ya see her again ask her if she's thirsty    and discuss skeins and needles.

I think this is the start of something new in your life Mason.

I love the title, Mason.

Too bad you got a little tongue tied there in the end.

That sounded like the start of a beautiful story!


Maybe she'll stop by again!


Hey M, I went out and bought some needles and began practicing, from a book....thrown down in frustration....for now! I got crochet too since I've always wanted to do that as well, I took more easily to that!

Pick them back up and have some patience. I was frustrated at first too but it slowly sank in. Amy Finlay has some great short videos on her website, www.knittinghelp.com that really helped me get going. They have a really great help forum there too.

You blew it Mason. You could have asked her if she wanted you to knit a comforter for her---then you could have shared it!

Oh, mate, beautiful strangers leave me absolutely speechless. Even if I do try to speak, it ends up sounding like a mess.

I sympathise...

Yeah, better to remain silent than to speak up and sound like a babbling idiot
