Update at bottom: Another Red Scarf Project button!
Thanks to Jen, we now have an official WTF Wednesdays button:
Grab it, save it to your own server, and have fun with WTF Wednesdays. Do not hotlink. Hotlinking is bad. That means you should, on your PC, right click it, click "Save image as..." and put it on your own computer, then upload it to your blog from there. Do NOT click "copy image." "Copy image" is BAD.
I don't know what you do with Macs, but I presume you know WTF to do with it if you are a Mac user.
So, apropos to Wednesday, WTF do we have here?
Maybe next Wednesday. All together now: WTF????!!!!
P.S. Guess what? I'm still swamped. So, um, I'll take care of more Red Scarf business in a bit. I will get the blog up and running, and a couple people have come up with some buttons for me already. One day at a time. One day at a time.
Here are some button teasers for ya.
Thank you to my Vermont neighbor Dusa for this one:
And my old pal Kim for this:
(great minds think alike!)
Scout made this one. She's also custom-dyeing some yarn for the project. There'll be a giveaway, but you'll have to promise to use it for the project. Fair enough? I think so. Thanks, Scout!
Go ahead, take one. You know you wanna. Remember the button etiquette as above, right? And when I finally get the Red Scarf blog up, if you'd link your buttons to it, it'd be appreciated.
Wicked cool!
Are you making time to drink water? ;^)

Ah, yes, Cookie points out a very important thing. Drinking water. Have I nagged you about that lately? no....WTF?????
heh.
So, this year I think I'll actually DO a red scarf not just a color that *I* want to knit with. Red. This is the year of the red.
And I wont' hotlink.
Or will I?????

Hey, WTF? We gotta wait until NEXT WEEK? WTF is up with that???

Hey Norma, if you need help with the Red Scarf blog and organizing and stuff, just yell. I'm yer girl.

Sandy makes me laugh with a red scarf as opposed to the color she wants to knit with--cause I did a red shawl. This year I will try to get it right too. I never knew how to hotlink till today...Thanks. :)

In case any mac users don't know WTF to do, you hold down the control button while clicking (that's the same as a right click) and hit 'Save Image to Desktop'. It has the advantage of being higher up in the menu than "copy image" but listen to Norma about the difference and do what she says.

There are SO many reds. WTF...doesn't that mean Where's The Fiber??? Who's The Friend? When's The Festival??
Old pal? OLD pal? Hey---Sandy's older than me. At least she will be---in a few days. Hehheehee....

Hmm, do I spot some handspun yarn over yonder? Pretty!
Posted by: Marcia | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 09:27 AM
I love WTF Wednesday! Finally, an official day for my perpetual state of mind.
Posted by: Lucia | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 09:43 AM
WTF Wednesday is great; I wanna play along. The first WTFW is up on my Vox blog. Although I like Kim's version "Where's the Fiber?". I only wish "When's the Festival?" was even a possibility for me.
I want to do the red scarf project again this year, but red yarn is in surprisingly short supply in my stash. Like I need an excuse to buy more yarn...

Is that a real picture, or photoshopped? Because if it's not real, I have a real WTF picture of incredibly confusing street signs. ;-)
*saves picture to hard drive*

You mean don't do properties and then copy the URL, that is bad! :)

I had no idea there would be a button for WTF Wednesdays. Good going on the RSP!
Posted by: margene | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 11:20 AM
Um...Norma's been spinning and ran out of orangey-gold fleece (Where's The Fleece)? Norma's going to make an ipod cozy and a matching shuffle cosy (What's That For)? I just know that if it were a guy, he'd be seriously unbalanced (WTF*@#%^!!).

Thank you so much for the laugh. I needed that today...it is living up to its new name so far!
Posted by: Debby | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 11:53 AM
TISH! Blllwwaaaaaahahahah!
Okay, have fun with WTFW. I'm WTF every day so it's just entirely too specific for me to deal with. :)
And I repeat - I'm IN on the RSP!! Just gotta decide what yarn and what pattern!

I'm thinking it is "what the F...K" wednesday. Am I wrong?
Posted by: christine | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 12:46 PM
I'm with Laura on the It's Way More Than Just Wednesdays, Dude...
Posted by: Lee Ann | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 01:32 PM
Or, as my seven year old says, "*what* the....?"
Posted by: Kathy | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 01:36 PM
I think this is my favorite theme day!! WTF is that about? Guess I'm just a potty mouth. And I'm a Mac user and I do know WTF to do :)

I am so excited that I did NOT place my order with KnitPicks . . . I am also excited that I order the scarf book . . .
Thanks for sharing.

Are Kim and I actually the same person? Have you ever seen us in the same room at the same time? I think not. ;D
And every day is "WTF" here at work. Case in point? Today's malapropism from my boss? "Rome wasn't built in an egg". Seriously. He said this. In a meeting. In front of other people. WTF?
Posted by: Dusa | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 05:45 PM
Button stolen and added to my blog..what a great cause!
Posted by: Ann | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 10:51 PM
Hmmm. Maybe Dusa and I *are* the same person. 'Cept I don't know what malapropism means......so maybe it's more like Multiplicity, and I'm one of the Dusacopies that didn't come out real sharp. Heh!
Posted by: Kim | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 11:23 PM
Scout's button is fabulous!
