Bucks' knitting circle of friends

I actually took this picture last month. I was waiting to meet someone in Starbucks, so I decided, whilst I waited, to be uber geeky and open up the macbook pro and sign on to some net based RSS reading.

However whilst I was getting engrossed, probably in some Pulpit action with Cringely I heard the growing noise. It was laughing, giggling, shrieking. All in good humor. I poked my head round the corner, to hear a particularly unsubtle shrieking about the word penis.

Expecting to find some yoofs in hoodies. I actually found something lovely. A group of adults in a knitting circle. I chatted to them for a few minutes and discovered they meet on the last Thursday of each month. After work they all head over to books, balls of wool in tow. Starbucks don't mind since they buy dirnks and snacks all night.

So I told them a bit about myself and my geeky blog, and we agreed I could take a picture and blog about it if I gave them the address. Poor folks have probably been checking since thinking me a liar. Sorry.

Here is the picture I took, the quality is dodge since it's off my phone in low light which isn't very good.



The seemed like a lovely bunch and lets face it, a knitting circle is probably a healthier hobby than drugs, booze or gambling - although I'm sure I saw one sneaking a sly snifter into his Caramels Cocoa Lite With Slim whipped Decaf Grande.
