I totally forgot to note my odd knitting thing of last week. I walk down to the mall downtown quite often during my lunch hour, as it's about 2 blocks from where I work. And since there's virtually nothing there except for food places now, it's good to go grab a bite and then sit down and do some knitting.

So Friday, I ate my lunch, then camped out in the ampitheatre where they show soaps on a big screen TV (this mall gets odder and odder by the week) with the sock I'm currently working on. I was halfway through my first row when I looked up and saw a guy knitting a lime green scarf almost directly across the ampitheatre from me. He had one of those neon messenger bag/briefcase thing that he was pulling yarn from. I debated for quite some time as to whether I should go across and say hello, or if that would be perceived as odd behavior.

I think it's odd that I debated twice as long because he was a guy. I figured he probably has to put up with such crap being a guy who knits, let alone randomly in public, that I didn't want to put him off by being the random stranger who seeks him out in the mall. He ended up leaving before I did, so it became moot anyway. But still.

Perhaps I'll see him there again. Maybe I should start a downtown knitters lunch?? Not that I don't have enough on my plate right now.
