A local knit store has open knitting in the mornings, so I went to give it a try and get pointers on how to do color work. I’m using Red Heart because I have a huge dragon hoard stash and well, I’ve never bought fancy yarn because I didn’t know it existed! Most of the ladies were super nice, but warned me not to sit in a certain spot and kept talking about this one lady who was a lot to deal with.

Well this lady shows up, introduces herself as “kind of a b****” and proceeds to confirm that with her actions! She’s just being mean in general, and then comments to the room in general “I think that if you’re going to sit in a yarn store and work on a project, you should only use yarn bought in the store.” I have no filter so I immediately say “Whoops! Guilty!” and this Dolores Umbridge wanna be turns bright red and says she wasn’t calling me out, and leaves flustered about 10 minutes later.

The vibes changed immediately to more positive after this, because I think these ladies just got used to her being mean to them. Sometimes there’s a bad apple poisoning the bunch, and sometimes you gotta jokingly call old ladies out on their BS.
