Urge to kill rising…
I just got a note saying that I’m up for jury duty. That’s not so bad, but according to Mecklenburg County’s jury duty security site, ” Knives, scissors, or any other sharp objects (including knitting needles longer than 3 inches) are not allowed into the building.” As my husband pointed out, 3″ = totally harmless. 5″ = unbelievable killing machine.
I’ll never make it a day without my knitting. I’ll snap. SNAP, I TELL YOU! So watch the news for reports of a deranged woman being hauled away, screaming, “YOU’LL NEVER TAKE MY NEEDLES! KNIT FREE OR DIE!!”

Knitting needles longer than 3″?? Do they make needles shorter than 3″?? Maybe, um, a short circular where the needle is tiny but the circular cord holds things? Can you maybe knit on a cable needle? Or resort to pencils. Even a nice chunky scarf on pencils would be better than nothing, right? (This is crazy, it is!)

When I had jury duty last winter, it said the same thing, so I took a book. Of course, the woman next to me was knitting and no one said a thing about it. I vote take the knitting, but go early enough you can make a trip back to your car if they tell you no.

Hey, I know you!
I clicked on your blogspot blog and I recognized the Jayne hat entry! I used it when I was trying to make Jayne hats for Christmas of 2006. Small knitting world. 🙂

Wow, small world indeed! I’m enjoying your rationing experiment. And your son is adorable in that picture!

Ok, some suggestions.
1. Tell them that you can spot a guilty person ::snap!:: just like that!
2. In the same bag/container with your knitting needles, stick a small pistol, a crossbow and a blowgun. When they give you that WTF? look, just start singing…
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
You’ll be done with Jury Duty in no time!
3. Wear a Jane hat during the Jury Selection process. Add a button that says something like:
“The DA is an Alliance Flunky”
“The difference between lawyers and Reavers? One’s an insane cannibalistic subculture that feeds on the weak and the others are Reavers.*”
*Note – This attempt at humor refers only to those of the legal profession as they exist in the fictional universe created by the mind of Joss Whedon and is in no way a reflection on the fine upstanding members of the legal community in our world today. 🙂

I’m thinking that I may take the light rail in, but if I take a spare set of bamboo DPNs, even if they got confiscated I’d be okay with it. As long as I got to keep my yarn.

You have uncovered my secret shame. Unless I have instructions in front of me, I only know how to base chain.

Yeah, but I’m kind of worried they won’t make that distinction. Unless I can find a knitter security guard.
