This post is a few weeks belated, because I didn't have a blog when the episode aired, but...
I finished my slippers (except the felting) and picked up my socks again. The yarn label brought me back to the 2/23/04 episode of Everwood (where 16-year-old Efraim goes to a bar to hear his older girlfriend sing). On hearing Efraim's plans to go the bar, his friend Bright dragged him kicking and screaming (well, protesting anyway) into the local yarn shop, and asked for Regia sock yarn. Instead of getting the yarn, the owner ushered the boys into a back room, where she had a whole set-up to make fake ID's! Apparently, the fake ID ring was more lucrative than the yarn shop front.
I had to wonder, though, why the owner used a real brand of yarn as her code. With the recent popularity of knitting, I can easily see a teenager going in there to actually buy yarn for socks! And if any undercover narcs ever come to Everwood High School, that shop owner better hope they don't like to knit in their spare time. ;)
