Tomorrow is Knit in Public Day ( https://www.wwkipday.com/ ) - and I'm working.
This means I have my bingo card ready, and two different knitting projects to take in. (One is for work - the other not - given that I have knitted for work at home, this seems only fair).
Given that half of the squares on the bingo card are things I have had before, I'm sure there will be at least seven squares marked off by the time we close at 5! (I am not supervisor this weekend, so will be out front all day apart from lunch).
The sad thing, the snarky comments are typically an older man thing (the number of old guys who ask you what you're making them, what you'll make them, if they are boring you (all as they reach the top of the stairs and you greet them...) ) It's rare and lovely when you get a bloke who knits/crochets, remembers their female relative or wishes they could.
It gets more conversation out of visitors as well, so it's refreshing. (Apart from the time one guy had a long rant about how we should just have to sit on desk all day doing nothing, certainly not knitting, as we're paid. Given that 80% if I'm making something at work, i't's for work, that opinion is always a fun one. (Our kid's trail beastie gets seasonal outfits & I'm making new dressing up stuff, as the old stuff is undead)
I dread to think how he would react to Manchester Museum where they all have ipads and sit playing games.....maybe sometimes work, but last time I visited two were playing soltaire).
