I find myself in a bit of a pickle and thought I might post a plea in the hopes that there is someone out there who is willing and able to help a girl out.
You see, I have been coming into the shop every Tuesday for Open Knit for a few months now and haven't missed a one. However, this Tuesday, April 13th, I am signed up to chaperone my son's school field trip.
He is very excited about this one. Apparently there's a chance he might get to eat a bug. Or get me to eat one. Not under a pound of the world's best chocolate...
Anyhoo, I did update this fact on my Open Knit page (link on the top right), but I forgot to tell Judy. And, apparently, myself.
I spoke to a lady last Thursday who has not knit for a number of years and is looking to get back into it for very important personal reasons. I told her to please, by all means, come on in any Tuesday or Thursday between 10 and noon and I will be here. It will all come back to you and you can spend some time knitting among friends.
It wasn't until I got home that night that I put two and two together and realized that she may come in on Tuesday and I won't be there. I was terribly upset about this and agonized over what to do for nearly two days. I finally decided to rely on her understanding, and spend the morning with my son and encouraging him to try anything he liked. None for me, thanks.
However, if there are any seasoned knitters in the area who are both willing and able to come in to Judy's Ice Cream between 10 and noon this Tuesday to be the official on-site pro I would be highly appreciative! So much so, in fact, that I will tell Judy that any such person who comes in for those two hours to fill my shoes will receive 30% off anything they buy from the Yarn Room that day!
How great is that? Get a discount to come in and sit with a cuppa and your knitting, dispense some wisdom, and do a good deed. I'll even throw in a loaf of my own homemade banana bread if you leave word when you'll be back!
