Kiss My Knits!

I’m not thin enough to wear the Wonder Woman underoos without irony, but by gum, I can wear this Wonder Woman apron! Stand back, citizens! I’m making me some mighty muffins!

Christmas is coming up. I’m just sayin’.

Hmm. A mysterious package, addressed to my husband. Rather large, too.

He says it’s for me, and that I should open it. I do. It’s filled with old copies of a Bakersfield newspaper and something vaguely head-shaped wrapped in a paper towel. Should I be worried? Knowing my husband, yes.

No way. NO. WAY. YOU MUST CLICK TO BELIEVE!!

Well, I think we can add something new to the list of Things Tvini Wants. Too cute shirt from Threadless!

And speaking of stuff I don’t really need, I’m considering doing a pretty big selloff of yarn. I’m working on de-cluttering the house, and I realized that I have yarn I haven’t used in quite a while. If I haven’t knitted with it in three years, then it doesn’t matter how pretty it is, it’s just taking up space. I’ve got Noro, some very nice sock yarn, novelty (of course), cotton chenille, and lots more. And I’ve still got the Cherry Tree Hill merino boucle pictured at right, which for some reason, didn’t get bought the last time I tried to unload it – at half retail, no less! At 370 yards a hank, one of these would make a super-cute toddler sweater for only about $15. I did add a “yarns” heading on http://www.wearwithstyle.com so I’m not sure if I’ll put my stash up there, in the community here, or just on eBay. If I put it on wearwithstyle, I’ll probably have to add a shopping cart and such, which I’ve never done before. I don’t know if it’s worth the bother.

Today, I need to pick up more straw for packing, stamp more boxes, and mail more hats. I noticed yesterday that one of the guys from the Hobo Hustle was back in front of the post office. Not Smokey Joe, the other guy. Maybe his 60 days were up, or maybe the pickings are just better in front of the post office. As long as he stays off of my car, we’re good.

Weather’s beautiful, wish you were here.

Not because I’m trying to be grabby, but more to remind myself of things I actually want when I have disposable income, it’s time for another installment of…

Stuff I Want.

At last, they’ve released the perfect board game for me. Enemy Chocolatier! What could be better than a strategy board game that revolves around chocolate? And for six bucks? Bliss. This is going on my mental wish list. Cheapass Games, I love you!

I kid. I actually enjoy giving thing to others, and trying to think of unusual, unexpected, small things others might enjoy. That’s definitely something I got from my parents, especially my creampuff dad.

However, I also like to dream.

And so I present: 10 utterly frivolous things which I covet. Please note: I am not hinting for stuff, I’m just having a little capitalist interlude here.

Listy McList!

Something else falling under the category of ‘cool things I want but will never have.’ Still neat to see, though.

Somebody in the knitting channel linked to this pattern. I love it and want to buy it and knit it! For me! Meeeeeeeeee!
