Cobb Meet-Up

Yesterday several of us living in the Cobb area had a knitting rendezvous at Starbucks for some yarn and java.  A good time was had by all, I believe.  Our barista was not only friendly, bringing us samples of Chai, he was even supportive of the knitting!  Yep, when he came over with his tray of teeny cups, he was wearing a blue garterstitch scarf handknit by his wife.  Pretty color, simple design.....very man friendly.  He explained that she hadn't tackled "the mystery of purling" yet.  Funny!

 

Photos below:

Checking out a gorgeous needle set, I believe.  Tried not to examine it too closely, lest I start coveting things I can't afford.   But it looked like a very pretty set...

There were plenty of handknits being modeled, as well as produced....

And lots of good discussion flying about...

OK, now here's something else.  I did not realize until I looked at these photos how fuzzy-headed-shiny-skin-no-makeup disheveled I looked.  Yikes.  But.....whatever--I had been running errands all day.  However, seeing this version of myself leaves me a little perplexed at how the rest of my evening unfolded.

After saying goodbye I left the knitting meet-up and went straight to evening service at church.  The kicker?  Appearing in public looking the worst, or maybe the least groomed, I've been in quite some time, I got asked out on a date for the first time in months.  Go figure.  (Maybe it's a pity date.....hmmmm)  Or maybe the poor guy should get his eyes examined?  Perhaps I should go around looking this crummy more often?!

nope, the reason you got asked out when you felt you looked the worst was because at your worst you look lovely, while at your best you are so beautiful that maybe you seem unapproachable? (The curse of being too pretty... too bad I am only familiar with the curse of being too loud!)
