Knit-In Rules
KnitWitz has a Knit-In, a knitting circle, every Wednesday and Friday evening. During one of these gatherings, everyone decided that we needed some rules. So here they are:
Knit-In Rules of Staggering Genius * † ○
- Have fun.
- Speak nicely.
- Three will be the number of counting and the number of counting will be three. Five is right out.
- Listen well.
- Respect others’ opinions.
- Give help when someone looks lost.
- Please do not pick your nose.
- You must be knitting or at least have yarn in your hands.
- No double dipping of anything that is dipped.
- No food.
- Only one snarky at a time. Tonight it’s me.
- You must wear clothing at all times. ‡
- Politically incorrect is acceptable. Offensiveness is not.
- Knitting is joyful. Find joy in it.
- Please do not pick anyone else’s nose.
- There is no wrong way to knit. (Thank you, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.)
- Gauge swatches are for sissies.*
- Watch your language!
- Please follow rule number 5. ‡
* No, not really.
† Violation of any of the above rules may result in your being awarded
a Bud Light Clamato from 2 doors down. Good luck with that.
‡ We’re weird that way.
