Brandish Once Again the Needles of Victory!

The time has come for another grand Knitting Saga! Another sister is going to be married, so I have dug up my needles and ordered a pile of worsted weight yarn. Many 9x9-inch squares shall be crafted ere this tale is done.

I initially feared I would have to buy new knitting needles as well as piles of yarn, because when I went looking for them I could neither find them nor really think where I would have been likely to have put them.

I found a number of interesting things, however, including:

• Several tiny bottles of shampoo and lotion from various hotels
• A tiny bottle of scotch from somewhere
• A set of false eyelashes
• About 6 bags from various convention booths
• A book I got 1/3 of the way into six months ago but never finished
• A specially designed spoon to aid in pouring Guinness over pale ale to make a Black and Tan
• A sunglasses holder made to resemble a cicada that clips to your car visor and says Tuscaloosa
• Large quantities of old Library Journals
• An eyeliner pencil
• One of those tiny plastic swords that come in fruit-flavored drinks
• The knitting needles! Right where I left them, on the table under a pile of scrap paper 

I should probably tidy up around here. Unfortunately, I will soon be too busy knitting to worry about trifling concerns like that.

I plan to store my finished squares in a pile on the table, on top of the scrap paper.
