Look! It's Friday! And I'm Posting! Not that it's going to be a very long post, but hey, it's something. You people are so picky.
So the first fun thing I have, is an awesome site for a guy that is oh so artistic and skillful. Yeah, it reeks a bit of Halloween, but pumpkins are for Fall so go here and enjoy the pumpkins. They rock.
What the hell is this?? This is just truly frightening. I mean, even I could knit the yarn equivalent of a particularly nasty hair ball, felt it and then sell it for way more than it's worth. Am I missing something? Can someone explain the appeal to me? Are they just luxury cat toys? The Fancy Feast of yarn toys.
Speaking of hairballs....*ahem*......why???? This stuff is all over the internet as "young and hip." This is not "young and hip." This is crap yarn made from what used to be wonderful fiber. I have never spun a day in my life and I could do better. Norma Dear, if you ever complain about your yarn being uneven again, I shall buy something like this, fly to Vermont and beat you silly with it. This yarn seriously pisses me off. I would rather have acrylic yarn anyday over that.
I am hoping that by the time I get home, this will be on my front porch and I will be able to lose myself in it over the weekend. Maybe I'll be able to forget that "yarn" and the hairball toys.
Living vicariously through others with grace and elegance. Okay, no, I'm actually trying to find my own life by stalking the shit out of it!

WTF is that crap??? And the prices! You can not tell me that anyone actually pays that much for those fugly critters. Quick, someone alert YouKNitWhat??
I hate to have to be the one to tell you this. Today is Veteran's Day. There will be no mail waiting for you today. I'm sorry.
Norma, thank you for making me giggle in agreement.
Christina, *cry*
Hi Angie -- I've been reading your blog for about a week now and find your humor very refreshing. I totally agree about the "candy wrapper yarn". What a joke. I'm also a crocheter/knitter and have a few crocheted FO's on my blog that you might enjoy.
Take care!
Hiya Jeanie! Welcome to the blog and the dubious "honor" of being a stalkee.
*evil cackle* I have someone new to stalk....
thats funny--- I just bought a wheel- to try to AVOID making yarn that looks like that--- maybe I should stick to my drop spindle--- let the dog and preschooler add crap into my roving- whatever they like--- then open a website and sell as art-----;)
though--- I suppose it's all about opinion--- apparently some people are buying it--- though I'm not one of them.
Good reading tthis post
