I was out on my break today, knitting on my blue entrelac socks (about which I promise to write about in more detail soon) when someone came up to me to sell me candy. As I told him I had no money, his eyes fell on my knitting and in an incredulous voice he asked…
“Are you gonna have a baby?!”
Muggles….oye!
No. I am *not* going to have a baby. I’m going to be a little busy this weekend playing with my new toy! Hope you have a good one (and be careful of those blue knitted socks)! :)
P.S. Thanks for the input and offers of help on the possible next run of the Summer of Socks. I’m still in need of some tech help (I think I need some php to make a sign up form that works with a database), so if you can be of assistance, please let me know. Thanks!

LOL. Have to love muggles
that is too funny. Have a great weekend!
Can you run jsp? I don’t know php but am learning the jsp and well, fluent already in microsoft web technologies in interfacing with databases. Does that help?
I hereby solomnly swear — no blue socks! LOL
People can be so stupid…. (grin)
Wow, people can be so stupid when it comes to perceived stereotypes. But you should watch out anyway, there seems to be something in the air. There’s like a mini-baby boom going on. Lots of people are hatching out the heathens right now.
Pregnant with a baby with *really* big feet! I’ve had the same thing with crochet socks.
Yes, you are going to have a baby. You are going to carry the baby in your blue sock.
Logically, it can be no other way.
Guh…
I’m not tech-y with databases. No school during the summer though, maybe I can help in other ways. I already have an idea for socks.
Yup, I get that question every so often too. Why do people think knitters only knit when they are pregnant? Crazy!!
I got that same question today! Because I was knitting greensih-grey socks. Beware of those colors too
Haha! Guess I’d better be careful, and you too!
Uh Oh!! I just got an order of pale sky and pale pink wool, should I pull the cradle out of the mothballs? My kids will be horrified!
And to think, I just got yarn for 3 pairs of socks that’s blue/green/gray. I wonder what my boyfriend will think. LOL
Well!!! Congratulations! (Tee Hee).
You can’t make this stuff up, huh?
Good story. *g*
Yes, because we know that only pregnant women knit, duh!
Muggles! Are you sure that guy wasn’t selling crack? Cause it sounds like he was smoking something!
Have fun with woolee!
Are you as excited as I am about the play-offs? Excited, nervous … I need to figure out some mindless knitting to do — I’m sure I’ll be totally unable to concentrate on anything more complex than garter stitch!
Glad the socks I’m knitting are green!
I was chatting with a co-worker and told him about my knitting. He said, “Uh-oh, someone is nesting! Someone wants to have a baby!” … I said, “No, someone just likes their new hobby.”
Okay maybe I’m just sick and twisted but I would have looked at my knitting, gasped and said (probably loudly) OHMYGOD I MUST be pregnant! I’M KNITTING!!! I HAVE to call my husband (or partner, depending on how much I wanted to completely flabbergast him) to tell him (her)! ;o)
