Not when others perceive them as advanced, but when they themselves believe they can handle anything knitting can dish out. It&#8217;s different for everyone and for me, this feeling wells up when non-knitters around me speak the language.<\/br><br \/>\nYesterday, I was able to spend some time among my people at Kora Kora. The coffee was delicious and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/egonzales74\/\" target=\"_blank\">Elisa<\/a> brought a smashing new knitting friend. As we chatted about the fiber arts, I shared that The Husband is now able to measure time in knitting:<br \/>\nHow long until I&#8217;m ready to go to dinner? 40 stitches.<br \/>\nWhen will I be available to go to the grocery store? 3 rows.<br \/>\nWhat time will I be back from hanging out with knitting friends? Before dark. Probably.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_5817.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"387\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9123\" \/><br \/>\n<\/br>So, if you&#8217;re a non-knitter and now know things like how many yards one needs for socks (350-400), I&#8217;d like to say thank you for listening. I appreciate you.<\/br><br \/>\nAfter coffee, we adjourned for lunch at <a href=\"http:\/\/thegruenedoor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Gruene Door<\/a>. I had a spinach salad that included strawberries and made more new knitting friends.<\/br><\/br><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_5818.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"305\" height=\"382\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9124\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_5819.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"305\" height=\"382\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9125\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_5821.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"275\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9127\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_5820.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"305\" height=\"228\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9126\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_5822.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"305\" height=\"231\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9128\" \/><br \/>\n<\/br><\/br><\/br><\/br><\/br><\/br>Next, we swung into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luckyeweyarn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lucky Ewe<\/a>. This was my first visit and from the moment I stepped through the door, it felt like home. It&#8217;s a truly warm yarn shop with a vibe that I could not love more. This shop has plenty of indie dyed sock yarn as well as a wall of Malabrigo. The shopkeeper, Linda, was helpful and charming. I will be back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like to think each knitter has moments when they feel like a Knitter.
