Knitters - Even At Luge Championships
I have had a goal not to discuss knitting at my day job. I work with several men who are very polite but do not have any interest in knitting. I am obsessed. Yes, I can find a way to work the topic of knitting into every conversation. It can be about a pattern, yarn color, type of fiber, all of these are good.
This weekend for my day job I was at the Luge Championship in Lake Placid. Before I left the house, I seriously considered taking knitting along with me. I stopped myself though. I decided that I should be in the moment, not in the moment knitting. Have you ever been to a luge event?
It is a very fast moving sport. If you take your eye off the run for a split second, you have missed the luger flying by a 70 plus miles per hour.
Today I was attending to promote the radio station I work for 93.3 in Lake Placid. I was lucky to be in a heated tent. I was also lucky to spot a knitter across the tent. I was off – off to find out what she was knitting. Not only was she a knitter but a spinner as well.
Cynthia was attending the world chanpionships with her daughter. She was working on an oversized sock for her daughter Sara. Here you can see her working on the sock. And you can see our Adirondack bear taking a liking to the sock as well. I guess even bears in the Adirondacks need warm winter socks.
We can not forget why I was at the luge championships! To see luge!
Totally Amazing!
It was a great day! I met people from all over the world. I even met many 93.3 listeners who are fans listening on stream from all over the country.
I think this could be an ongoing discovery of knitters! Next time I will have some knitting tucked into my bag.
