I have a hard time saying Stitch n’ Bitch. I can type it all I want and say it in my head but to say it aloud?? Can’t do it. I feel that way about most knitting terminology. I can type out FO, WIP, LYS but I would never say “eff oh” or “finished object”. Maybe because I’ve never really hung out exclusively with knitters. I prefer to refer to the SnB as a knitting group. Of course then, it sounds like I’m going to a Knitters Anonymous group. “Hello, my name is Brenda and I’m a knitter”. I’m over thinking this. Anyway, as you can imagine, I went to my first knitting group in New Haven. It was super awkward at first and the only thought running through my head was “Get my out of here! I could be home watching some lame re-runs and knitting all by my lonesome!”. It’s awkward being the new girl as it is but of course there wasn’t any room for me at the table so I was stuck off to the side on these cushions. I felt so small, like I was sitting in the children’s corner staring at the adults, confused by the big words coming out of their mouths. About a half hour passed and a few people left. I got a seat at the adult table and all of a sudden things started to make sense again. I talked, I knitted, I laughed! It was kinda great. I’ll definitely be going back next week. This time, I’ll show up a little early to guarantee a seat with the big kids.
