Sometimes I get really tired of being the “knitting Rain Man,” the person who’s expected to know every single knitting pattern and yarn EVER, and who constantly gets interrupted all day by questions about it. And I’m not talking about interruptions from customers; I’m talking about staff. It’s flattering to be the go-to person, but I think I’m about done with it.

I know. Whinge, whinge, whinge. I guess it’s just that I’m sick of being asked the same questions every single day. I like when people give me challenges. The other day, a design student was looking for a “gnarly wool” that he could use “for dreadlocks.” That’s a million times more fun than “Do you have a NICE long-sleeved cardigan?”

Yeah – I do get it (when I worked at IKEA and Lincraft it was the same for me).
But its all part and parcel of the being the Knitting-Machine you are!
