Nor is it a vacation destination. I’ll get to the point. You wouldn’t take your knitting on a date (or would you these days), but definitely take it with you if you are accompanying a male and ordering from the professional’s desk at Home Depot. No matter how hard he tries to convince you that it will only take 20 minutes, your knitting is a necessary part of the trip.
Background: with our jammed schedules, and so little time to spend together, my husband has convinced me that a trip to Home Depot is a date. While on vacation at our condo in Washington, Chuck was back at work and so was my friend and condo neighbour, Marsha. That left her husband and me to tackle some condo association business; and that would be replacing rotten decks.
One night Chuck called and asked what I’d been doing on my time off. I told him Dave and I went to Home Depot four times to scout out decking materials. He observed that not only is Home Depot a date in my life, it is now a vacation destination. Time for a reality check, knitters, Home Depot is neither a date or vacation spot. It is a place to knit. Go for it!
What I didn’t finish at Home Depot, this is a lengthwise scarf made of seven yarns, mostly from my E-Bay purchase from the Blue Ewe. A bit on the long side at 84" it is destined to be a gift for a tall person.
