New Knitting Bag
Well I wish I had knitting content to show you, but I will only start knitting this afternoon and by the time I have something to show, i will have to get on recording my podcast.
Bad digger doggy!
Happy stick doggy!
I went shopping today and had an experience with an amazing rude women and her children. I went to Mori Gifts & Luggage to pick up a new Vera Bradley bag. They have a new pattern out I fell in love with, and then got to see in person on saturday at SnB. So I called ahead to make sure they had the "Blue Java" pattern and went on over.
I walked in, no one was looking at the wall of Vera bags. I went straight to the shelf with my pattern and then took my time deciding which bag to get, and which accessories to get with it. Then a women came in with her 3 daughters. It was clear after 5 minutes that they didn't intend to buy anything. Maybe I was in there way, and they didn't want me standing there, but I was in the middle of deciding which to buy. So they come back and go away about 3 times, walking to another part of the store. I can't imagine that was anymore then 5 minutes. I started to feel prickly, why did they keep coming back and forth across the store.
So then the mother says, oh isn't this blue pattern new? Yes, the daughter replies. "Oh well then you defntiely don't want that then, I mean that would be a bad choice, everyone has that now, it's all over. It would be silly to buy that pattern."
Here I am standing next to her, with the bag in my hand, which has been in my hand for the past 5 minutes. I was trying to decide if I should get the coin zip or the brush zip (would fit DPN's!) and wow, I couldn't believe she said that standing not 1 foot away from me.
I believe I was in her way, and I believe she wanted to look at the blue ones, and probably wanted the ones I had in my hand. They didn't have much of any certain design. Vera has like 10 bag designs, and you can get the pattern you like on any one of them. So after she said that. I rolled my eyes (no one could see!) and I thought to myself, well hell I'll just get both. So I went straight to the counter to pay.
The women then touched two of the bags in the blue section, and then walked away with her daughers to the front of the store. All I could think to myself was, how rude! So I said to the guys (because I was so boggled she would so rudely say that out loud while standing next to me), "wow that was rude". the guys both smiled and shook there heads and said "We can't stand them, we get people like that all day long". Without hesitation they said this. i felt better, like I wasn't just being overly sensitive. They had been about 2 feet away during the whole thing.
So I came home and played with the dogs in the backyard with the happy knowledge I would never teach my children to behave so rudely. It's a beautiful day out!
Oh and in knitting news, I have decided to still do that rowan pattern I mentioned yesterday, and I'll look for the Koigu at MDS&W, instead I'm going to use the limey wool for a Magknits Calla I think. The guage wouldn't have worked at all for the rowan pattern. I might try to swatch tonight if I have time. I know, I know, I keep changing my mind!

Wow. What b*tches! But ha ha, you got the bag you wanted and they got zip. And you didn't act like a butt, either. You win all around.
Jennifer says;
That was rather rude, but at least you got the bag you wanted! That is a very nice pattern.

Ohh... I have a java blue bag that Hubby got me for Valentines. And I just finally got the matching wallet and coin purse after 6 weeks of waiting. Seems that new color is soo popular Vera Bradley can't keep up with demand. Great catch!

I have this pattern also. In the backpack. I've seen other women with it. It's a nice pattern. I will be carrying my backpack when I go to the MS&W festival next weekend. If I see you with your Java Blue bag, I may say hello. So don't be surprised if a strange woman with two trailing children stops you and tells you how much she enjoys your podcast!
