It is inevitable. When knitting in public people ask questions. When knitting around friends and family I always get asked to make things for them. Today was the first time a perfect stranger asked me to make them something. I say perfect stranger because this person didn't even introduce themselves to me before making the request. I suggested that said person visit my LYS and take a class. Blazing Needles, my LYS, offers free beginning knitting and free beginning crochet every Saturday. They only ask that you purchase your supplies from them. This would give said person a new skill and hopefully a better understanding to the time and effort it takes to create a knitted object.
Tonight I was knitting at an event (waiting for my husband) when this person made their request. I am knitting as fast as my strained little hands can go-trying to finish the Elfish Sweater test knit. I've got three quarters of a sleeve, the hood, and finishing left. It's turning out great. I'll post pictures when finished.
Elfish to be continued...
