You have mittens to knit. I have no mittens. Mittens scare me. THE YELLOW ACRYLIC DOES NOT. Mittens made out of yellow acrylic do nmot scare me. Making them does. And I should go back to my stupid white acrylic hat. And you should knit those mittens. Consider yourself lucky. You have mittens to knit. I have no mittens. Mittens scare me.

Ravelry has taken over my soul. And I second the dare of the fun fur poncho. And I raise it to a triple dog dare. Muhaha. Don’t worry, I don’t blog anymore either. Ravelry has taken over my soul.

Oh, except I just think about stuff and you actually do it. Yeah. Like I saw that SWTC yarn you have there on sale everywhere and was like "I should get some". But did I? Nope. And now you're showing it and I'm like "why don't I have any? just because I have 20 pounds of other yarn? that's no good reason." And that back to school vest. I even have the yarn all ready and picked out. Some lovely alpaca, which I love touching and knitting with, but which I can't wear directly on the skin, so how perfect to make a vest. And then you tell me it's a quick knit, too. And you're showing it to me and I'm like "why haven't I done it? just because I have like 10 other projects on the needles/hooks that I need to finish? that's no good reason." And I dare you to make that acrylic fun fur poncho. Do you hear? Dare you! Double dog dare you? Reminds me of the Traveling Fug on Crochetville where a piece of . . . fug got mailed across the country and everyone crocheted their own particularly fugly yarn on it so that it came a great fugly monstrosity. I think you should start one for knitting. Cuz you need more tasks. Yep. My knitting life parallels yours pretty closely. Oh, except I just think about stuff and you actually do it. Yeah.

I think you should suck it up and go with the mittens - it's not going to be as painful as anything you did with that yellow yarn. I promise. OK.

I havn't had much sleep lately. I finally finished all my mittens! and like, everything else for christmas! and now the leafy lacey sleeves of my cashmere (cashmere!) pretty raglan top are making me bang my head on the wall repeatedly. I can makes you mittens. I has got bulky yarn. also, that yellow acrylic deeply offends me. just so you know. but it has got monster teeth, so I guess that helps a little.
