It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s much like I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve read about the ALA conferences \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always the quiet ones who get really drunk.<\/p>\n<p>I have deep purple stains on my lips from the cheap-ass wine,<br \/>\n  I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m full of pumpkin pie,<br \/>\n  and my SWATCHES ARE DONE! I just kept on knitting \u00e2\u20ac\u201c like the little proverbial that could.<\/p>\n<p>Overall,   the weekend has been fairly low-key and friendly. I always worry that because we only have knitting in common, an extended period of stitch \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcn bitch will end up in random pleasantries and talk of children and grandchildren, which honestly, I find tiring.<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago SnB had its own flavor of disconnection. The knitters were way more intense and really not pleasant. (I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s changed, now that the Wicker Park unit has fragmented.)<\/p>\n<p>Here, everyone is from Iowa or living here now, so there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a deliberate head-on-shoulders attitude that Chicagoans brag about but rural folk really exhibit. The whole weekend has been refreshing because of that. These knitters have good taste (no Red Heart!) but they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get hoity-toity about the whole thing. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what I need \u00e2\u20ac\u201c noncompetitive knitting.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean that there wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a discussion about [edited for content.]<\/p>\n<p>Good God, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m tired.
