Audrey A-Long

Audrey epilogue

I entered the room as the family was sitting down to dinner.
"Look, I finished my sweater"
"Great" they mumbled as they dug into the tortellini, barely looking up.
"Honey, I am going to need you to take my picture, so that I can show that I finished Audrey"
"It has a name?" They all look up.
"Yes, it is a sweater that people all over the world have been knitting, and no one from Oregon had done it yet, so I thought I would put us on the map."
"Is this an internet thing?"
"Yes, there is a whole community of knitters just like me"
"Mom, there is no one else like you."
Later, after the photo, the agonizing of how to post the thing, all the horrible details about which I will spare you...
"Hey, look everyone, its posted on the site"
They all crowd around the monitor.
"Wow, that's a cool site"
"Look, all the sweaters look just like yours"
Mental "Duh", Verbal "Yes, honey, we all used the same design"
Long pause...
"Mom, can I borrow that sweater sometime?"
