What? Leftovers Twice in One Week?

Pathetic, I know.  I humbly apologize.  But I could not resist this.  A few people publicly and a few people privately ever-so-gently brought it to my attention that the photo below is, well, interesting, to say the least.  (and there is some overlap on this a little bit, for those who expanded their public comments with great generosity in private emails.  And thank you, you lovelies.  You know who you are.)  I could reveal their identities, but that would be truly evil.

I have to admit, they're right.  The photo now sends me into gales of laughter, alternating with blushes, alternating with horrified feelings of revulsion.  How I could have missed this before I published it the first time is beyond me.  It just goes to show you how tired I was when I posted it. 

This isn't really a contest, per se, but any of you sweet people care to try your hands at a caption for this innocent little photo of the lining of Abigail's Snow Queen mitten?  Don't be TOO gross, now!

------and in an attempt to redeem myself-----------

some progress has been made on the teal wristlet following the absolutely gorgeous Natalya pattern from Jody.  This photo does not do it justice.  This is so beautiful I may be addicted, and the yarn color -- I'm just in love; it's as simple as that.  I may have to make these for myself in the same color, and I may have to make these full-time from now on.  Quit my job, the whole nine yards. 

I only wish this photo told the story well enough, but it doesn't.  Jody, brava on this pattern! 

I'm using Patons Classic Wool and 4 mm. needles.  Lucky, lucky Abigail.

Oh dear, am I thinking what you're thinking about the photo? And because of your teal Natalya, I cast aside everything I'm making last night and cast on a pair for myself!

The wristlets are nice. Too bad I live somewhere too warm for wristlets.

How durable do you find the Patons? I'm told it pills a lot. Pretty colour though.

[Kim]

ROFLMFAO!! What more can I say..........hahahaha

[Cassie]

You don't want to know what I think the mitten pic should be called.

Glad to see you're making progress on some knitting. Are you sure those are for Abigail?

[margene]

It looks like it's going to swallow your hand and take off with it. It's you who has the dirty mind;-)

[jody]

LOL - knitting porn...gotta love it!

"See, Abigail, this is what mother was talking about."

[Cassie]

You crack me up, Ms. Innocent! Now you've posted it twice!!! A caption? You asked for it: "Peter heater" . An answer for all those google searches.....

[Elizabeth]

"Is that micro fleece or are you just happy to see me?"

"The knitted condom"

Ineffective as birth control...but damn...it' warm.

I also want to know about the Patons. I didn't know it pilled...but I also don't really know much about it. Isn't carried by my LYS, but I have been watching some on Ebay.....I assume you like it, can you tell me why?? :) You're a card Norma.

um... When I first saw it, my brain slipped into the gutter, although I can't really say exactly WHERE in the gutter, I just knew it was there! It does look cozy, however. I print out a copy of the wrist warmers pattern, too. I think my daughter would like a pair!

[Nathania]

Yummmmmmm! Love that gauntlet. It's now in my queue too.

[susan]

Funny, I thought the photo looked like a snapdragon flower.
Oh, and thanks for the enabling. I pulled out some Patons Classic last night. Now I just have to leave it on my dining room with some needles and hope the yarn fairies knit me up a new pair of wristwarmers.

[Silvia]

How come all your readers are nuts? Could it be like attracted to like?

I adore the fingerless gloves and thanks for the link to the Natalya pattern. Your enabling is done for the day, check it off the to do list.

I was thinking this when you first posted the picture, and my caption is inspired by my trip to the GYN this week!

"OK, now that we've got that part out of the way, let me do a manual inspection of your uterus. You'll feel some pressure here..."

[Jo]

is that a little fish or something dangling from your stitch marker. V. cute. The wrist warmer is lovely. I used some leftover Paton's classic (leftover from a felting project -- it felts v. nicely as Norma has already noted) to make socks for my 7 year old to wear in her skates. They worked well, too.

[Sara*]

I'm sorry. It's too terribly funny.

"Well, I tried to follow the pattern. But it seems it is a little wide and I don't think that hole should be that big ..."
