a Walk on the Crafting Wild Side… There’s probably no better way to start the weekend and jumpstart some inspiration than to go visit your local Craft Divas… b.Limey! I knew I was going to like this place as soon as I got off the elevator… |

a little atmosphere
OK. Eyes wide open.
Love Blooms: go to a craft show. Buy some fab new earrings. Immediately start knitting a sweater inspired by the design of said earbob…
The chandelier shape spins you into UltraFembot mode and you find yourself unable to stop making YO’s. You want a little shaped T-shirt/tank to hug yourself during the waning days of summer. You cannot resist the *atmosphere* color yarn you find in your deep stash knowing its greyish silver is suddenly in style for fall.
You are reading yet another Medieval novel (A Morbid Taste for Bones). That helps too.
You take the new shell on board the #66 and go to it. It is the only project you have going that can go mobile via bus and bag and it travels.
You fondly recall the gentle mocking of your friends when they think of you riding the bus. Surely you don’t enjoy the masses during the prolonged heat waves we’ve been having. SURELY you don’t enjoy rubbing up against god-knows-who-who’s-been-god-knows-where, do you? Surely you don’t enjoy the horde of Art School Boys that are always enroute on the #66 with their messy hair and finely shaped fingers stroking their iPods…
Especially the one that sat across from you yesterday. You saw him watching you and you were startled that he looked just like him. Surely not visiting our fair city, could it be?
But who knows – those medieval voices were whispering Gwytherin/Griffith/Gwyneth – or something…
So be it, I knit on…
this Coporate Yakkity Yak in an emailed newsletter made me GIGGLE: “Doobiddy Doobiddy has fifteen… designs which have a strong sense of street cred, and feature the bold new … yarn. This is young style which will demand ‘respect’ and is astonishingly practical for busy lives as well!”
Translation:
you better have DEEP Pockets in those low-riders…
