Two Things Must Be Shared

OMG.  Horbert had to dig me out of the disaster that is my room. I don't care that The Creator found a TV on the Open Box table at Best Buy and had to set that on my lovely little stand and I have been repourposed to the floor. I mean really! And then, to make matters worse, he put boxes of yarn around me. I think it is yarn. Only one box is open and I see that silly blue face Leicester from Rowan in it. I don't know why he loves that stuff so much. Anyway, it took Horbert and that silly girl hours to dig me out to tell you this.

First, The Creator has sold his first pattern. I didn't think it is anything special. I mean it is just a cover for his iPad. Although, it could be used for a hot water bottle. I'm not really sure.When the pattern is avaliable for human consumption, I will post more about it. It's going in a collection of one hank wonders that have all been designed by men. The concept rocks the knitting world.

Second, The Creator, the token male in an all girl knitting group, was featured in a local newspaper article. Horbert was there when they were interviewed and he tells me it didn't go down like that. Here is the link.

Knitters bring love of yarn

Read this. I did. I don't think they love all yarn. I don't think they are the hottest knitting group. They are The Group in the greater Denver area. Just saying. Also, I think The Creator was misquoted. He has skillz and can crochet like a mad man.. but did he really buy his first ball of lambs pride when he was 20... Yes, he recounted the story. He went to a yarn shop with a friend when he attended University in Laramie. He bought two skeins of light blue and two skeins of dark blue. Evidently, some Birgit woman was with him. She was there. He said she was the witness to said enabling.  Also, did you know he is the most mentioned in the article. Horbert said there are more interesting people at the group that they should have focused on. Like little Will, the token Kid. He is a supermodel in knitting magazines. He didn't even get a mention. Besides, little Will loves Horbert enough to suck on his head. I don't think Horbert agrees with this.

And that is all I have today. The Creator is off to Taos. He is in the car with the J's -- Jen, Joy, and Jean. Lord help us all! I don't need more yarn is this room and he best leave the TV on to HBO and turn me around so I can watch TrueBlood. That Tara girl and I are tight!

Horbert found the Little Blue Box

Horbert Here...

So... I found the little blue box. I have stuff to say.

First, look at this:

I know. This is my professional shot taken by this fellow. I had it done without The Creator's permission. It was taken with the hem of this and a ball of wool mentioned in this post.

Since I had my headshots taken, I haven't found the little blue box. I think it is because The Creator has been using Manny's Room as a Yarn Way station. I lost where the little blue box is. I would take a photo, but I can't find the little red box that makes photos to show you. He has been busy going through his yarn stuff and putting it in ravelry. Oh, and he has been to IKEA to buy book cases to store yarn. He has one. He needs two more I think for proper yarn storage. Of course, I also think he needs to get a desk where he can properly put the blue box and the red box for us to use.

Anyway, I'll be in Taos this weekend perusing the yarns there. I want to find something yummy to be photographed with. Maybe a goat or two as well.
