There is never enough glitter

I try not to geek out in public over my knitting too much. But last time I was home, I bought some SRS PRETTY yarn. I blew a gift certificate on this lovely turquoise mohair/silk/silver tinsel blend. It's very soft and luscious. And I immediately started on a scarf. And because it's so pretty I bring it to work and knit it on my lunch break. And...I can't help it, I show it off to anyone I see, whether they're interested or not.

My manly-men coworkers have been very tolerant of me waving a glittery girly lacy mohair scarf in their faces. It was very sweet of them. Only...maybe it's not tolerance after all.

Today one coworker asked me how it was going. I showed him how much I have and he complimented it. The nurse walked by and also complimented it. To which my manly-man coworker replied "I know! And have you touched it? It's SO soft!"

ROFL. I'm training them well.

*grin* You ARE! ♥

But there's no reason why guys shouldn't like soft/pretty things, too, except that they've been told that they shouldn't.

It's not so much that I don't think they'd appreciate any of those qualities. But you have to admit that soft, fluffy, lacy, pastel, AND glittery all at once is a bit much for NASCAR loving hunters to appreciate. But they do! <3
