A whole lotta Harlot
By Holly | September 20, 2007
Sorry, no pics but I did get out last night to catch the Harlot over in Virginia-Highland. What a total blast. She is so funny and so clever and it was totally awesome to see so many knitters in one place. Some people I recognized from their blogs, others from Knitch but most I’d never seen before. I got to talking with a woman in line and discovered that I am not the only solitary knitter out there. She apparently isn’t a real life joiner either so we had that in common - plus she was knitting really pretty knee socks for her daughter out of yarn she dyes herself, on the down low, of course. I will be heading over to Nease’s to check that out pronto. I need more sock yarn like I need a whole in the head but, whatever.
You know, I know that Stephanie is Canadian so she would of course have that accent but it was still a little strange to hear it coming out of her. Too, we are in the deep south which makes the accent stand out even more, eh? I was so accustomed to it in Michigan but it dawned on me last night that the only time I hear a Canadian accent anymore is usually when I am traveling outside of the country. Those Canadians go EVERYWHERE! I have seen that maple leaf pasted in some strange places.
Mr. tooks pics of the finished Fitted Tank and put them on my desktop for me. Problem is they all need to be rotated and imported, or is it exported, again to my desktop so when I upload them they will be right side up instead of reverting back to the original position. You still with me? Boils down to this: I can’t get the pics right so will have to post them later.
I do have a pic of my new ride:
Mr. surprised me with it on Monday. It’s the new Electra Amsterdam and it’s totally totally awesome! It’s 3 speed with coaster brakes and everything is enclosed so I could ride it in the rain with a skirt on and not get back-splashed. That is if I ever wear a skirt and ride my bike. Or, actually, okay, bought a skirt and wore it on my bike. I like having options. And gears are nice. After riding my fixed gear for so long I forgot how nice coasting could be. Oh yeah, the Amsterdam also has the old school generator to make the headlight go. Totally bangin’! The child in the pic with me? That would be The Girl, throwing her gang signs like she knows what she’s doing. That series of pics is actually hilarious because I stay basically the same while she is doing all this signaling. Sometimes I wonder if she wasn’t switched at birth. lol
Oh, and could someone explain to me why, why why why a motorcycle helmet - the brain bucket style - would cause Dude to go crazy? He was in the back snarling and jumping around so I went looking to see what the deal was. I was hoping it wasn’t mice when I realized it was the helmet. I picked it up and he about lost his shit. Of course Fat Beagle goes by and doesn’t even give it a sniff. It’s got to be having a brain the size of a pea that makes Dude so nutso.
