Fame for Me!

I was at the grocery store today, paying for my fruits and vegetables, when one of the checkers (whom I know only because she is a checker at the grocery store and because I show up there a couple of times a week all year long), said, "Do you live on South (whatever street)?"
"Yes, I do," I says.
"Did you knit the covering for the stop sign?" she says.
"I did," I says.
"I knew it," she says.  "A friend mentioned it to me recently and I bet anything it was you who had done it."

So there it is: small town fame.  Who would have guessed it would be for knitting stop sign covers?
