....without really trying.
Background: So a company bigwig was coming for a visit on Thursday, and my manager thought it would be a good idea to have a knit demo going on when the bigwig came in. Fine, great, this involved me, the knit instructor, teaching G, a crocheter, how to knit.
Why, you ask. Because Thursday was my day off, and we couldn't afford to put me on shift to do the demo. Fine, I get my teach on, then they tell G needs to use Red Heart's Shashy yarn. This yarn is like trying to knit with fishing nets.
So I need to give a crocheter a crash course in knitting with a yarn that fights most seasoned knitters.
In the breakroom, givin lesson:
Me, your ever loveible Word
G, crocheter thrown to the wolves
P, co-worker chillin with us (his mind lives in the gutter, its got a great apartment there)
Me: Ok the thing to remember about this is you need to spread it wide or nothing will happen
P: snickers
Me: Shut up P
G: What next
Me: Go in through the front, now round to the back, back through the front, and hop off.
P: losing it
Me: P, I will end you if you don't shut up!
G, desperately trying not to laugh: Can I try now?
Me: Sure, no wider, you need to open up wider, or you'll never get in there.
P:
Me: What is your issue?
P: If that's knitting I need to take it up. You two sound like a lesbian porno.
