I checked into the hotel and walked over to Appleby's for dinner and a few beers. I'm an irregular regular there so they all know me.
I took my knitting along, the Irish hiking scarf, and worked on it while I enjoyed a few beers. Predictably several of the female employees came over to check out my knitting and fawned over it. A couple of the female customers also stopped by to make comments.
Naturally I was enjoying myself quite a bit.
At one point this young guy sitting a couple of stools down from me asked "Does that always happen?" I asked what he was talking about. "You know, the girls coming over and talking to you about THAT" pointing to my knitting.
I told him that yeah, it happens a lot. He said maybe he should learn how to knit.
