Pub Crawl Musings

One night a few months back, only a couple of people showed up at C. R. Yarn's weekly Knit Night. And by a couple of people, I mean me and one other person. So, we decided to relocate to a local martini bar. We knitted for awhile, but soon we put down our sticks in favor of picking up our drinks more often, and a plan was soon formed.

That plan was for the Pub Crawl scarf.

The idea is simple. With hand-dyed yarn inspired by our favorite cocktails, we would cast-on a scarf at the same time we prepared to make our first toast. The rules are that so long as you're drinking, you must also be knitting, and that you cannot frog. There are no frogs in Pub Crawling.

I've been thinking about this scarf for awhile now. (Psst. We haven't started making it yet.) It'd be awesome if we could get as many people/knitting groups involved as possible, so once we have the yarn ready, I anticipate posting something on Ravelry.

I've just been musing about it a lot lately. Since taking a dying class, I've considered dying yarn based on my favorite martinis (Creamsicle and Apple, in that order).

Muse, muse, muse, and I get a rambly post.
