Blithering Knitiot

Mitten...

So, yeah, like I'm still working on a mitten. Yeah, it's going slowly. But ya see, I'm not in this for speed. I'm in this for relaxation. So there... This is how far I've gotten, and Dave's yarn looks a lttle washed out here. The colors are very vibrant in real life:

I just wanted you all to know that I'm still knitting.... And I thank those of you who have left comments the past several days. It's been such fun trying to keep up with Ann and Dave. It's not easy....

Have a great night!

What's not so easy, huh? Whaddya saying? Huh? What???
it's all Ann's fault. She lives in a damned cornfield for chrissake!
Those mittens look fab-u-lous, Paul. They really do. I might try some of my yarn for mittens.

Well at least you're knitting. I've frogged two projects and I'm in a slump. Someone motivate me.... please!

Paul,

See, I get the blame for everything..I am such a nice sweet gentle and kind person. Blinking innocently...I was like a lamb lead to the wolves in blogland. Who knew that mentioning an innocent game like cornholing would pull me into this evil place called blogland.

Yep..and I have some ocean front property here in the cornfields if you are interested.

I love the mittens. It makes them extra special when you know that someone died (ok dyed) so that you could have them.

:o)

Ann,
It's ok. You see, with just a mention of "cornholing", everyone's ears just seem to prick up... So you see, it's not just you...

All this time I thought that term was "perk up"...I had no idea that pricks would be mentioned or I would have been back last night to check this out.

Yeah Mr. Daniels, I am not buying the faux innocent act. I am finding out quite the contrary is the case with you.

:o)

Ann

P.S. And just what are you pointin? DPNs?

I believe "prick" may be the British version.. The is a wonder fils biography of British playwrite Joe Orton called "Prick up Your Ears". It's a bit graphic and violent, since he was murdered in his sleep with a hammer by his lover (who was not wrapped too tightly). Well, I guess it's not a movie for the squeemish...

You know me I relish any opportunity to drag things immediately into the gutter.

How often does a door open like that and a prick walk in and give you an line like that to jump on?

:o)

Ann

P.S. That was a trap wasn't it? You are trying to see who would break first...LOL..Shaking my fist at the mayor of Cabin Cove. I didn't have any problems going there.

The mittens are lovely, Paul.

That said, I'm in awe of the quilt you used as a background. Who made all those teeny, tiny, uniform stitches?! Just... wow.

The quilt (I think) I bought from Overstock.com. It's just a throw I bought to drape over my ugly green couch, and if Lizzie decides to curl up on it in the middle of the night (as is not uncommon) it's not a big deal. I really like the quilting - i think it's really cool. I love Amish quilts for the same reason - all the fine stitching.

Oh, and Stacy, thanks for the kind comment about the mittens - I think they're gonna be kinda cool myself...
