Not even sure what search led me here but the JoCo reference made me laugh way too hard. Well done, ma’am, I applaude you. (saw him w/ Paul and Storm just last month here in Austin)

Number 7 should be the ability to teach others how to knit, because nobody wants to have to knit socks for their entire tribe all by themselves.

Jennifer – no offense taken. And I agree that tiny felted items are good if it’s intentional!

What do you mean, my library might not survive the apocalypse? Nooooo.

Beeves. It’s what’s for dinner? Not if I’m making dinner. Chicken or fish. No lambs or darling cows.

Maybe we could teach all the unskilled city people to crochet!

(okay, probably not)

Northmoon: Gotta love the print medium and its lack of inflection! Again, sorry to jump.

I do like the idea of tiny felted items, although it helps if the felting is intentional.

Jennifer: I was not trying to be sarcastic (at least not more than the whole premise of appocalyptic knitting!) I like to have clean fresh clothes to wear and wool can be a tricky thing to wash. You have to know what you are doing or you will end up with a bunch of tiny felted items!

You are also correct that clean fibres wear better, last longer and get nice and soft as well.

I just don’t know what we’re going to do with all the unskilled city people, though. It worries me. I’ve been thinking of starting a skills brain-trust kind of thing, to do outreach, you know?

Wow! This apocalypse thing is going to be a lot of work. And I be there are things we haven’t got covered.
