Well, if today doesn't show my knitting side to myself, nothing will. It was the first of 10 classes that I'll be teaching with 4 other people. Now the 4 other people know about me and knitting. The one's we're teaching though, know nothing about us. as the morning goes on we discover that they are a very quiet group. We ask a question, about the format of the class and wether or not they like it, and they don't respond. i go to say something and have to stop myself to say something different.
What I wanted to say was, "Don't worry I won't tie you up in yarn or get you with my pointy sticks." with a laugh of course. Instead I say, "We don't bite." I had to stop because I realized they wouldn't get the joke like the 4 that know me would. It's like the other week with the customer in the shop.
A customer comes is to use the class grinder and is wearing a nice scarf. It's made from at least 2 balls of Lion Brand Landscapes. As she's about to use the grinder I remind her to take the scarf off. My concern was first for the scarf, secondly for the grinder, thirdly for the customer. I didn't want to see the yarn ruined. Afterwards I started to laugh. You'd think that my first worry would be the customer. She's a nice lady so it's not like I had anything against her. Thankfully I didn't tell the customer my line of thought.
