I’m with you about the non-franchised establishments while “on the road.” I used to travel for work, spending a week in small, typically rural cities. They’d always be so proud of their new Applebees/Outback/Olive Garden that sometimes I couldn’t even wrangle a locally-owned option out of ‘em!

Will you be wearing your kilt at the Kid ‘N Ewe this weekend? I can’t wait (for the festival, not specifically your legs in a skirt – although I’m not objecting to that either). Okay… shutting up now.

**blinks** For some reason it had totally escaped my rather pitiful cognative function that you lived so very close. How amazingly small the world has become.

Will we get photos of the finished kilt hose in use?

And my answer would be (also about the period clothing) is I will be at the Maryland Renn Faire…. http://www.rennfest.com... and although when most people go they can see men in kilts- I am cursed, when I go they all wear pants… even the kilt merchant wears pants. This is why I am glad they serve beer.

Since there was question about period clothing…..
I’ll be at the VA state park near my house volunteering for the Haunted Harvest Hayride ~ http://www.stauntonriverbattlefield.org/events.html
(very little hay will actually be involved, sadly). No knitting this time, though I spin at the Antebellum Christmas Event. : )

I’m with you. Where’s the adventure of eating at a chain when you can experience the local one-of-a-kind place instead.

Soo…. did the second kilt sock get done? Inquiring minds want to know.

You needn’t fondle a sheep for me either, but a few pictures of the event would be most welcome – mainly so I can die of envy while I look at them.

Have fun!

SSK on a plane? Do tell, what size needles do they allow? What types? Did security give you any trouble? I just spent 2 days getting to Montreal including an unplanned night in Chicago, all with a 3 year old and without knitting. It would have been better with sticks and string.

Good for you, bro. Friends don’t let friends eat at chain restaurants. Slow food rules!!!

And the rest of you – what’s up with the period clothing? Sounds fun – are they filming a new PBS reality series about colonial knitters or something?

I’ll wave as I drive by Friday night – I’ll be starting out a couple hundred miles west of you and ending up a couple hundred miles east of you – [and oddly enough I'll be spending the weekend wearing clothing of another time period as well]
