Random Thursday

i have stuff to tell you about but this morning, the part of my brain that stores words and then strings them along conveying thoughts that are constantly rolling around in my head is on the blink and that kind of annoys me as that part of my brain doesn't work all that great when it isn't on the blink.  it kind of worries me that it makes seem kind of simple when i don't think i am.  or maybe i am simple and just delusional.  but anyway, i'm rambling.   maybe i should have called this post "rambling thursday."  oh well.

tuesday morning, i ordered a shit load of yarn for the babette blanket. and so i was a little disappointed that when i got home yesterday from work, my package wasn't here.   YEAH I KNOW THAT'S CRAZY SINCE I DIDN'T EVEN PAY FOR EXPRESS SHIPPING.  no, i didn't order koigu.  that would have just been crazy, and despite my love for variegated and handpainted yarns, i don't like how they look in crochet.  but i did order a shitload so i can play around with the colors.  i will not be using the same exact colors as designed.

and this morning, i saw this ... (scroll down the post) -- look on the cover.  PLASTIC CANVAS PEOPLE!!  yeah i'll be thinking of trying that.  (i won't say i'll be actually trying it because i probably won't.  i'll just think about it really hard.  i think about doing things a lot. )

hmmm.  that's all.  i thought i had a lot more to say, but i guess not. 

ooh one last thing .. does this picture remind you of something?

So you ordered it but you're not going to tell us what kind? That's just cruel. Or I could make a bad needlework joke and say it's crewel....

Woo! Blue and red! let's start a Movement.

Usually I write much better than I talk, because you can't hear me pausing to think of the rest of the sentence when I write. I'm with Chris, though: somehow the thoughts become much less clever on the way from the brain to the keyboard. Maybe I have dumb fingers, yeah, that's it.

That's an amazing blanket. I wouldn't buy Koigu either, partly because I agree with you about variegated.

Can you make a plastic canvas Hood blimp??

[Temperance]

I thought it was little canvas people too, I was imagining a little farmer and maybe an astronaught with little canvas barns and space ships. You know I think I am a little disapointed. I am going to go think about plastic canvas.

OK, apparently it's contagious, because when I read your post I kept expecting to see little people made out of plastic canvas. I'm going to go shut my head in the freezer door a few times, I'll talk to you later.

oohhh... are you going to start the babette soon? I need to hunt down a little more yarn and that back issue. DAMN THAT RAVELRY! (i'm sorry, i love it.. i really do! I didn't mean it!... great. now you have schizoid commenters too)

I thought at first you were talking about making plastic canvas people. That could be pretty neat.

LOL - the part of my brain that connects my intricate and brilliant thoughts to my fumbling, mumbling mouth doesn't work so well, either...
