BOOBIES!!!

Wow is that title an attention getter or what!?!?

I want to remind everyone that October is

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

If you want to knit a tit you can go here and here.

Click the button below to give free mammograms

You are never too young to develop breast cancer!
Breast Self-Exam should begin by the age of twenty.

Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.

Well, what are you waiting for!?!?

GO CHECK YOUR BOOBIES!!!

The Breakup

Dear Halloween Mystery Bag,

We need to talk. I have been doing a lot of thinking and I just don't think this is going to work out between us. I tried really I did. I adjusted needle size, I messed with the colors, and I even ripped and started over again. I just think at this time it would be best if we went our separate ways. Please don't think Rowan, Noro, or Malabrigo put me up to this. It has nothing to do with them.

Trust me when I say........

It's not you....it's me.

The Hemlock Ring Blanket

This is The Hemlock Ring Blanket from Brooklyntweed.

I have been in love with this blanket for quite some time now. I have heard nothing but good things about it. My two favorite words....Size 10 needles and fast project. Sign me up!! I do have to say that what is fast to one person means turtle speed to me but it's all good.

For more pictures and to get the FREE pattern go to Brooklyntweed's blog (click on the link above or under the section of blogs I read) and scroll down to the August 18th post. He has lots of beautiful pictures posted including the two below which are his.

AMAZING!!!!

Potty Talk

I found Mr. Toilet Paper while surfing around Ravelry.

My first thought was......who the hell would knit that!?!?

I resisted....really I did.

I just kept looking at that little face and then finally I said.....

"OH FINE!!!!"

No that's not true. While I would not waste yarn on this, I did think it was rather funny. I was in dire need of some potty humor today and it came in the form of Mr. Toilet Paper Scarf.

The pattern is a free pattern on Mochimochi's Blog.

Don't laugh.....for if you do.....you just might receive one of these for
(insert your holiday of choice).

MONSTER HAT

This my friends is something I have been trying to get my hands on for quite a while now. I recently got lucky and managed to snag one.

It is an INSUBORDIKNIT Monster Hat Knit Kit

This is what it said about Swirly on the website when I purchased him:

"I like to think that swirl is winking, perpetually.

Really he was born like that.

The doctors tried to fix it but to no avail.

He used to wear a patch but it gave him a rash."

How much is that Swirly in the window? He is so cute I just had to have him.

Swirly arrives in Colorado and wonders what sort of hell this is.

I am working my mojo on Swirly.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!

Now some Swirly diva goodness.

Swirly with attitude!!
