Huh? This was my little knitting pack. A one strap, small, day pack. I always carry my WIP in this pack.
We "discussed" it for a couple of minutes with me at one point explaining to her what was in the pack and offering to allow her to inspect it. She declined and told me that I would have to leave the pack outside the door.
No way! I was not going to leave my pack, which contained my WIP as well as my entire set of Options outside the door, in the rain, for someone to steal.
Besides, I wanted to work on my WIP while enjoying a cold beer.
End of story, I told her where she could step off and I returned to my truck to watch a DVD and work on my WIP. To heck with her and her crappy little bar.
I just left a much nicer crappy little bar in MO where they not only didn't object to my pack but expressed a lot of interest in my WIP.
One guy asked me if I was knitting (well obviously I was) and said it was cool and that I was too big to say anything else even if he didn't think it was cool.
I ain't spending any time in any place that doesn't allow me to knit. To heck with them, I can spend my money elsewhere.

Right on man!
El Paso is a long way from MO!!! You were really making some tracks!
That is just craziness. I've never heard of a bar requiring you to leave backpacks outside the door. Forgive the comparison, but it's like asking a woman to leave her purse outside the door! Even if maybe the place had a history of people bringing in weapons or drugs or something else bad - once you offered to let her inspect the pack she should have taken you up on it and let the matter end there. Sheesh!
What dufus' - they think you are going to take a beer out with you? What about girls - can they carry in their purses? She probably thought you were carrying something far worse and didn't like to be proven wrong. I don't blame you ONE bit for not staying there. NOT ONE BIT.

Thanks folks, I thought it was pretty stupid to expect me to leave it outside to be stolen.
I came across your blogg on Ravelry and just had to say I really liked your sweater. Love the colour. And I think it is pretty impressive that you knit at all.
You should have asked that girl in the bar if she would leave her handbag outside. Some people!
Thanks
