Stalking the Elusive Sweater Yarn--Q'pla!

[lwood]

Thanks to a tip from zoe_me, I found the right yarn at Purlescence, in beautiful downtown Sunnyvale. While they're not ordinarily open on Sunday, they are today--for an anti-Super-Bowl party, where all yarn is 25% off. Oh, and in sufficient quantity that I needn't fret about a run on the stuff in the next couple hours.

IT'S ON SALE IN MY HOUR OF NEED REALLY OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD WANT! IT MUST BE A SIGN!

*!grin!*

dpaxson is willing to lend her wheels to the effort, which is nice as otherwise it's not likely I'll have the sweater by Pantheacon. One knows, however, that "done by Pantheacon" is sufficient inducement in her world, as it would be in mine, and so.

For during-con knitting, I shall have lovely, talented, very portable, non-bulky...socks. They may be the only non-bulky thing going to the con in my luggage, unlike, say, the several devotional shawls and other things for my Show and Tell Pagan Fiber Arts panel at P-Con.

PS: "Q'pla!" For the scanty handful on my flist who are insufficiently fannish (...!?), it's Klingon. For when one wants an enthusiastic ejaculatory interjection for "Success!". Also usable as a parting statement, like wishing someone good luck. I find it a satisfactorily heathen (and unashamedly modernist) sort of thing.

Now you have me wondering

1. if there's a vocal Klingon contingent at P-con; and
2. if the appropriate officiants at Star Trek: The Experience could be persuaded into performing whichever model of pagan/heathen/woo-woo-spookeriffic ceremony best suited their prosthetics.

(Tone of icon not wholly correct, but is only Trek one I have.)

Well, She Who Runs the Con, pentaclemoon, has the Klingon Empire's sigil tattoo on her shoulder, from a time when she, snowwy, mendou, and several and sundry others in the community put on a Klingon ritual drama thing called "The Rite of Decision" one Pantheacon some few years ago.

The same people are deeply entwined in planning and production of Pantheacon and Baycon, the area's largest science fiction/fantasy convention. Both cons wind up sprinkled with a certain amount of "Which Con Is This, Anyway!?" sprinkles--dpaxson or I on a "Religion and Science" panel could be either place, although starting from rather different premises.

I love my life. 8-)
