The Knitting Fiend

 

I like to crochet;
I often forget to cook.
This is my dinner!

 

Oh, you know it happens to you. You have a busy week at work. You forget Thanksgiving (or Easter, or Christmas or Labor Day or…) is coming up. You forget to shop. You don’t buy that turkey in time. So there you are on the holiday morning. Guests are coming; what can you prepare to impress them?

Oh heck, maybe this happens to you everyday?

Well, you can just whip out your needles or crochet hook, and “voila!” Who wouldn’t be impressed? Now, if only I could crochet a vacuum cleaner instead of running it!

Caveat: I reserve the right to ignore and not link to any post for any reason. (My intention is to ignore any that are not on topic, contain porn, or which might violate the terms of my agreement with my hosting company. However, since I don’t know what anyone might submit, I reserve the right to not link for any reason at all.)

I’m going to write one. So, please join me, and write your own.

Notes:
1. This blog entry is edited and redated periodically to announce upcoming carnivals.
2. This creates a link to my site. It should display like this: Submitted to The Carnival Of Knitting
There are several reasons for this link: a) If my spam filter traps your email, I can google and find your article. b) A link is required to get your trackback past my spam filter which also helps me find your article if spam filters are harsh! c) The link also publicizes The Carnival Of Knitting to others who might want to participate. ( If you prefer to avoid crediting my site with links, use a “no follow” tag in the link. You can even email me and I’ll tell you how to do it!)

Stop there young lady!
Shoulders uncovered outdoors?
Not in my lifetime!

 
From Interweave& Knits, Spring 2007.

Can’t you imagine this girl dreaming of wearing a cute outfit as she knits? And then being forced to cover up by a strict mother? Maybe like the Mom in Stephen King’s “Carrie”? Ok, even with the silly t-shirt underneath, this is still to racy for that mom.

Still, don’t you wonder whether that prim t-shirt will stay on once the teen gets to a party?
