psalm_onethirtyoneTo-day at the library I was checking in books, and I picked up one and misread the cover as "A King Arthur Knitting Mystery". I believe in actuality it was a blurb by someone King, author of the Knitting Mysteries. In any case!
I started giggling, and my library ladies asked why, and I explained, and Judi said, "The Knits of the Round Table!"
At which point I think I died. But Anyssa furthered the hilarity by saying, "Dammit, Galahad, will you quit trying to attain that Grail pattern? None of us can get it! You might as well PITCH IT IN!"
And I said, "Dinadan! You're a KNITTER of Arthur's Court, not a CROCHETER. Will you concentrate on what knitters are supposed to do!" "But it's more fun crocheting!"
And it was beautiful, and that is why I love where I work. I have given it some thought, sadly. Judi said I should write it as crackfic, but I am not sure. On the other hand! Sagramore would always be knitting slinky revealing underclothes, and Percy would want to give up knitting for weaving, and Gaheris would always snarl his pattern. Of course Gawain would be the best knitter. Lancelot would be good, too, but he would always be taking unfair shortcuts, and "fixing" other people's work, and making tea cozies for Guenever that were better than Arthur's. And Mordred would be bitter because WHAT THE HELL, knitting is SO STUPID and yet it's what they do!
Tristam would belong to the Round Table, but he would keep defecting to another knitting circle elsewhere to make crocheted doilies for Mark's cute young wife and out-knit any suitor who approached her.
Morgause and Morgan would sell yarn to knights. Morgan's would be evil and synthetic or other petty impure things, whereas Morgause's would be harvested from live cats. And she would keep trying to get Mordred to go WHAT THE HELL and start his own knitting circle, and Mordred wouldn't want to. And people like Morvydd and Clar would sell pure, homemade, awesome yarns of Goodness.
Oh, and Kay would be in charge of financing the Table's knitting ventures. omg.
In conclusion: Judi and Anyssa are amazing.

Date: 2008-04-05 04:26 am (UTC)Yes, yes it is. If only because it's funny to see Sagramore humiliated. Also Dinadan. And--ajfklasjflks you just do these things to break my brain.
