Knitting Circle (CTD)

A Knitting Circle is a casual Boggan Motley.

Overview

Groups of boggans often come together to accomplish some task, but the task is really just something to occupy their hands while they do the real work: sharing gossip. Despite the name, these circles don’t necessarily involve knitting. They can just as easily focus on whittling or car repair. Younger, more tech-savvy boggans often enjoy circling up in hackerspaces to talk over half-assembled desktop computers.

Knitting circles are loose and welcoming. Members can change from week to week, and newcomers are cherished as fresh sources of news. That being said, it can be difficult for outsiders, particularly non-boggans, to understand everything that goes on in a circle. Below the surface level conversation there is a language of subtle social cues that boggans read easily due to their birthright, but can be incomprehensible to others. Half of the information exchanged in these meetings is communicated over this channel — often the more interesting half.
