ABQ Knitbloggers and a little somethin' that's been buggin' me.

Last night was Knit Night, and of course the girls cheered me right up.  And I also started to realize how many Albuquerque knit bloggers there are...these are just the ones I know about!  The Duke City Fix had a mini article about two of the MANY local knit groups.

A Woman Obsessed - Jenny
Jeannie's Hands at Work - Jeannie (duh!)
The Adventures of an Aussie Girl in Albuquerque (lord Rebecca, your title is long!)
Wearing Black in New Mexico - Beverly
Little Hedgehog - Noelle
Little Ribbits - Heather, where are you? We haven't seen you in forever!
Knitters Not Quitters - Erin (whom I haven't yet met)
Scout's Knitted Swag - "Scout"
Strange Little Mama - SLM - haven't met you yet!
The Frayed Knot - Ramona - nope, haven't met her either!
Knit 'n Dive - Beth - I think I emailed Beth way back when.

And me, of course!  I am sure I am missing a whole bunch, but that is what I can come up with at the moment - if I left you out, please tell me!

**edited: I knew I was forgetting some and didn't know others!
Moo Kitty Knitting - Laurie (haven't met her either!)
Adam Knits - Adam (WOO-HOO Guy with needles! - haven't met him, either)

Here was a small selection of Knit Night's attendees:



From L-to-R: Jeannie, Lynn, Rebecca, and Judy. Not pictured: me, Shaila, Alison, Sarah.  Notice there are two socks being made, and neither are Jaywalkers!  See you next week, girls! I am so glad our group meets every week.  Tuesday is always fun.

And this has been bugging me...and perhaps I am crazy, but humor me for a second.

What is the plural of yarn? I have seen many a knitblogger refer to plural yarn as 'yarns', and I am not sure why, but this usage sends an evil shiver up my spine....  I always use the plural for the unit of yarn: skeinS, ballS, bagS, but never yarnS.  Now, I am no grammar queen, and on this here blog my writin' tends to be fast and loose.  Ending with a preposition? Sure!  Simulated western twang? You bet!  But put an 's' at the end of yarn and I am reduced to shuddering like a Nineteenth-century New England school marm.

Since the plural of sheep is 'sheep', shouldn't the plural of yarn be 'yarn'?

And yes, I couldn't sleep because of this....helped along nicely by a Bubble Tea at 9pm.  (And P. couldn't sleep the rest of the night because I snored so loudly he had to sleep on the couch.  Hi Dad!)

Right. My thoughts for you. enjoy!
