Congrats on your success with Ratchet and Clank – I, too, was obsessed with that game. Didn’t get much knitting done while I was playing either!

The men’s patterns All look gay. Do you suppose it was part of a plot to get gay men to knit? Except self respecting gay men wouldn’t wear any of these now. The Granny Square thing… especially. Eeeeeeeeewww.

Are you knitting your penis scarf with the oompa loompa yarn? (eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww oompa loompa willies!) If so, let me know how it goes so I can benefit from your trials!

Another fab MOKS entry, by the way!

*afears* Dot is the Anti-Christ!!

I have the same issues with variegated yarns. That’s why I hardly ever buy them. I also have the hardest time spelling variegated….

But you’re right about the scarf. Just make it longer and it will be trendy Really long scarves are in right now. So go for it.

I just wanted to say hi!
I’m glad you are a free woman again and loved the MOKS gallery, this last one was the best one yet!
as for socializing interfering with knitting, apologies, but the scarf/shawl was so beautiful in a very pretty color, i hope you will not abandon it for much longer

I had a cat (she lives with the ex-husband now) who started stealing Christmas presents in order to get to the string they were decorated with. Then she broke into the box of wrapping supplies and took the entire spool of string – and then hid it so we couldn’t find it. She’d bring out a length of string and demand that we play with her with it (by doing things like shoving it under our butts or dragging it around in her mouth, you know, *normal* cat behavior) until it was so frayed that we’d throw it away. Then, miraculously, another piece of string would come out, and we’d start over again. I *never* figured out where she hid the spool, and this went on for over a year. The next year when I brought out the box with wrapping supplies, I had to keep all of my college textbooks on top of it otherwise I’d wake up to string and ribbon ALL over the house.

It’s good to hear you finished the game. I’m not allowed to buy it until I’m sure no one got it for me for Christmas…. that means I have to wait another (how many days till Christmas?) 38 days!?!?! I swear I’m getting a bit anxious!

Good luck with keeping Dot away from the sweater! I’ve never met a cat who chews things up like that!

I just looked at the Very Bad Thing post again and after looking at Santa’s after picture, I realized that the Dot makeover included eating Santa’s drawers too! It wasn’t bad enough he had to lose his arms, ears, part of his hat but his little plaid fanny is hanging out too!

Boy she put a lot of time and effort into this.
