Screw Omaha

Listen, missy. Just because you've made a mighty fine scarf doesn't mean you can go off gallivanting about Nebraska restoring art and such. And who is going to do the thankless job of answering the phone? And how exactly is the broken dishwasher going to be needlessly filled? (sniff) Didn't think about THAT did you, miss Master's Degree? You better just check that attitude and..what? No, we're not crying. We just have something in our eye. Don't try to change the subject. This isn't about (sniff) us. OK, fine.

Good luck out there. Remember, you've dealt with Pam -- ergo you can deal with anything. Now go out there and make the art of the world more pretty. Don't worry about us. We'll just have some crazy-ass lunatic disconnecting calls and smacking on chewing gum. As it should be.

Yarn Whore is off the market

Very knotty ladies

I've been meaning to post these for a while.















Hey, um.... Tasha? Where's your knitting?




KnottyMama? Pictures? Pictures?

Also, YarnWhore, don't you have a PICTURE to POST? A Very Important Picture? Ahem?

We had a white Christmas

Schnee-ooooooh! Beautfoooooool schnee-ooooooooh. That's the Pom Scarf and my Anniversary Mittens!

And here's Mr. Knotty in his beautiful new Baby Alpaca Tweed hat (Highlander Alpaca With A Twist is the yarn). Outside of She-kaaaaaa-go.

It doesn't fit

KnottyKitty demonstrates the wrong way to wear a pumpkin colored hat.

Hat: property of KnottyBrother. Merry Christmas! If you checked my blog you'd know what the lump in your Christmas stocking is. (Note: It's the hat. Not the cat.)

I learned to knit in prison

OK, I didn't. I learned to knit in college. Which isn't at all the same.

Anyhoo...

I knew this day would come. I've always heard how very important it is to check your gauge, but I've never really bothered. Now that I have cast-on my husband-Christmas-gift 800 bazillion times, I know that I must always check the gauge. I accept it. I can move on -- and hopefully quickly, because I am nowhere near finished and have a few precious days to complete the thing.

I finished the gifts I knitted for my little brother and his wife but I'm still working on the Guck scarf. Then for our car ride to Chicago and back, I'll finish sock #2, make that butterscotch-colored hat for me and get to work on some socks for my older brother.

And how are you all coming along?

This killa shirt can be purchased at The Panopticon Shop. We need our own Cafe Press store, no?

Fill 'er up

Mr. Knotty would like me to tell you all to fill up your cars tonight. Snow is on the way and we don't know how crazy (crazier) it's going to get here.

Knotty Mama: If you're out there, let us know how you are doing in Inola.
