Yesterday after our weekly nerd event, #2 told me. Teen pregnancy #2 is The Saint. I hugged and questioned and listened and by the end we were joined by Milkshake. Somehow, the conversation turned to my knitting. Would I knit for this baby? (and let it be said that I am torn here. I have no answer for the question at this time and will speak of the conflict later) I told the saint how much I would rather make her a lovely scarf for college graduation. By this time, I think that Milkshake is so happy to have someone officially share the burden of this secret that she's dancing (yes, again with the dancing).
"I want a scarf! Make me a scarf!! I should get a scarf with a V for being the
only virgin!!!"
You know, I can't make a habit of knitting for students, but I just might sneak her something. What's the perfect pattern for a Virgin scarf? Let me know...

Hey, if a scarf is a good incentive...*I'll* knit her one.
Maybe that's the campaign all of the 'True Love Waits' types are missing; a scarf for every year you stay a virgin.
I can round up a passel of women who'd be happy to knit them if it catches on.
(Seriously, if you're asking for votes, I say knit the kid a scarf.)
I wish you'd been at lunch when I discussed this with my sister. She wrote up an announcement for me.
"Are you still a virgin? Do you like scarves? If you do, come to Ms Educat's room for a special virgin scarf! Please bring a Doctor's note as she thinks some of you are skanks."
Is there a scarf pattern that looks like two tightly crossed legs? That would be perfect....
Hell, I don't even know how to knit, and if it would keep my students from getting knocked up, I'd knit 'em ALL a scarf. I'd even use my own silky soft hair when I ran out of yarn.....
