Pinching for fun, and magic
And that rock-as-hell picture from last week is to put an end to my new name she who spins and knits for cabbage patch. Cause the dreamy guy on the right is my partner (in life and crime) although, I will add to any wondering, he does actually have lips that cover his teeth like any normally constructed human, he's just making rock-face. Werd.
Okay now that my reputation as a hardcore, club-hoppin' rocker girl is seated firmly in place, (and don't let the irony of the next sentence skip past ya) let me show you the pretty, pretty yarn I spun!
It's 200 yards of self-striping romney and kid mohair, it's got some thick and thin, some unspun blotches, and some super-coils too. Ya gotta click it to get the full and magical effect. I dyed and spun it for the friday fiber topic magic, so don't go blabbin that you've seen it already because I've got 3 more days 'till friday. Shhhhh.
And for S, who comes for the pictures, here's my Little Bit, left to his own devices after his bedtime story and I descended the stairs to read harry potter. You gotta click on that sucker, the closer look is mandatory. Check the hands, firmly grasping. It's a constant now, all the time, and I will not be a mother that makes him feel ashamed or wierd or like there's something wrong with it. You should see people's faces when we're out in public and to my question do you have to pee, kiddo?, he answers nope, just pinchin' for fun. That's my boy.
Love the yarn- very pretty colors. I still have to learn how to overtwist on purpose. :)
As for Little Bit- don't worry, I have two boys and the whole "doodle" thing is always good for a laugh. Yesterday we were outside playing in the sprinklers and my Little Man (3yrs) was clutching himself. I asked if he had to pee. His answer? "Nope, I just have a b-o-n-e-r."!!! ROFLMAO
Kids are a hoot.

Posted by: delia at July 22, 2005 01:08 PMNice! I've deduced that you're in the Baltimore area. My husband and I used to come down to the EightxTen every once in a while to see Jimmy's Chicken Shack. Way pre-kids.
No worries with the pinching. When I used to change my son's diaper he would announce "Hi, p---s!" (for some reason I can't post this message if I spell it out)and when I finished he'd say, in grim tones, "bye-bye p---s." Hasn't been creamed on the playground yet.
