pecifically, Scotland, where guns are illegal, but you can get married at 16, drive at 17, drink alchohol at 18 - yet have to be 25 to knit. What, do they ask for identification when you walk into a local yarn store?"Sorry, sir or madam, but according to this ID you still have a month to go before your birthday. I don't care what your parents let you get away with at home, I can't sell you those blunt tipped bamboo 9mm sticks. Yes, I am aware that you can buy bamboo shoots at the nearest Chinese grocery, and that these needles are thicker than a pen, however..."
I mean to say, what?
Thanks to India for pointing this out.
Meanwhile, I'm two sets of Kitchener stitches away from finishing my socks on the magic loop!

On the other hand, just after posting my rant about having to be 25 to buy knitting needles, I saw an episode of NCIS in which a hired-gun-stewardess knocked off a sky marshall with a knitting needle stolen off a sleeping passenger.
ReplyDeleteBad news for the writers of NCIS though, because my mom has had knitting needles taken from her at the airport!
