Knit Wit
♥
As I possibly might have mentioned a time or ten, I’m in utter denial as far as admitting to ever getting the slightest enjoyment from shopping. I especially hate shopping during busy seasons such as around ‘The Holidays’. Unfortunately, now and again such miserable expeditions cannot be avoided, as was the case last December when I had to venture into a shopping mall in Houston … *shudder*. To make matters worse, the rotten antichrist-like bastards didn’t even have what I was looking for! After giving the idea of burning down the store some reasonable consideration and deciding I couldn’t be bothered to wait in line for matches, I instead emailed a dear eFriend somewhat along these lines:
“My dearest Warcry, do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to find a simple black, hand-knitted, woollen scarf with cutesy fringes in Houston? Do you? DO YOU? No, I didn’t think so. Now, get knitting. You have until mid-January. Bill me later.
Love, DK”
Well, damned if she didn’t come through – and how – but only on condition that I first agreed to yet again exploit my semi-nakedness with said scarf. OK, that’s a lie, she asked for a photo and I’m pretty sure this is not what she had in mind. Really, she should have known better!

She even found soft, swishy wool that had been harvested from the discarded navel lint of wood nymphs, spun into yarn by frolicking centauresses, AND named specifically for me:

I know you can’t actually see the fringes at the ends, but you’ll just have to trust me that they are there.
Go on, look a little closer . . .
Just watch out for the teeth and claws!

I knew those wood nymphs were good for something. I always thought a scarf from long cat hair would be awesome. It’s so soft and cosy. Wood nymph lint is rarer though, so you should probably get insurance for that scarf. :-)

VegAss: Who can afford insurance these days? I’ll just have to kill off a few more wood nymphs … uh, they’re not endangered, right?
FoS: Well, a return to Houston is the *plan* but the actual making-it-happen is a bit more complicated due to lack of funds!
Ben: I cheated … I took those photos about 3-4 months ago!
Cole: As IF you don’t mean to be vulgar! But then, that’s what we all know and love about you. ;-)

Ah, there it is! And I must say it does look loverly on you. I’m so glad you like it, I was wondering if it was going to get any *ahem* use. And I tend to visit your posts late as the kids are in the house during the holidays and I don’t want them getting any more of an eyeful than they can handle. Cole, aren’t ‘hot’ and ‘English’ synonymous?
