Big, Humongous, Gigantuan BOOBS!

Georgie and I are laughing our asses off! Everyday, without fail, someone hits my site looking for big boobs. big heavy boobs. All because of this post.

It’s pretty fucking funny. Those poor lurkers – so disappointing for them I’m sure.

Beforewarned, this post will have little to no new knitting news. That’s right folks. I’ve got nothing. No progress, just inertia. The best I’ve got is that I’ve decided on a pattern for the baby blanket I’m knitting for my new niece or nephew. Actually, despite my best Stephen Wright impression, I’m exceedingly happy about the choice. I look at the picture everyday and think this will be perfect! Oh, yeah, here’s the pattern.

I’m going to use the All Season’s Cotton mentioned here and I’m going to try to find some kind of variegated silky acrylic type stuff for the border. I can just imagine my future favorite baby all wrapped up in it. I’m excited. I really am.

So what’s the problem you ask – since I’ve got 24 skeins of the aforementioned ASC. No needles. I don’t have DPNs to start it. I don’t have needles for anything these days. I lost two of the DPNs I was using to knit the sock, so the KBS hasn’t gotten any air play – no needles, no knitting. (Besides, now I really want to make these socks in the same colorway. I’m really loving both the retro rib and the Koigu color.) I’m awaiting my Flower Basket Bag yarn shipment – but it won’t matter because, you guessed it, no needles. [they just called from the lobby, I have a package – bet you it’s the yarn!]

But Jen is saving me. Today we’re heading up to Handknits and I will hopefully have a nice long shopping list. Needles, for sure (Jen – DON’T LET ME WALK OUT WITHOUT THEM!) and yarn. I want to buy some yarn. Because it’s not like I haven’t spent a shitload of money on yarn lately. But I want some red yarn for valentine’s day. For this and for this. And maybe some blue Koigu, if they have it, for those retro rib socks.

In other news, my class is kicking my ass. They are a very smart bunch – with lots of good criticism. They write long though, and I try to be very precise with my critiques. We’re halfway through, so that’s good, but I always feel very hungover the next morning. (This morning.) Takes me a day to get going. I don’t feel like thinking at all. So I watched TV this morning. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I really, really like The Gilmore Girls. It’s corny I know, but I look forward to seeing it everyday. (They show the re-runs on the ABC Family channel – right after the 700 Club. Blech.) They’ve got some kick-ass knits on this show – anybody every notice? Someone on there is a knitter because these are not your run of the mill knits. Anyway, saw a good episode this morning. Made me cry. Happy tears. I’m such a sucker for love.

I’m done now. Thanks for hanging. And as a reward for my legions of faithful readers, (you two know who you are! 😉 ), I’m starting a contest. As of the writing of this entry, I have received 332 comments. I will give a fabulous prize to the 500th commenter! (Prize details to come as soon as I figure out what it will be.)

So get going.

  1. Sure sounds like a lot of knitting news to me – just no new objects…
    Have a good time fondeling the yarn!

  2. Okay…NEEDLES. They are on the list. I need size 8 dp myself. If only the stupid shower door measurer guy would get here so we can GO already!!

  3. My granmother made Isabelle 2 round shawls before she was born. She still has the larger one on her bed and it is just about the only covering she will agree to sleep under. A beautiful handmade blanket really is the best baby gift I think.
    As for needles I have needles for all of my upcoming projects. I bought them before I realised I am a tight knitter so um, probably need new ones too, at least you didn’t buy the wrong needles!

  4. Love that blanket! One of my friends went into labor this morning–coincidence? [insert X-Files music here] I hope you remembered the 19s. The bag is such fun to knit!

  5. Hi Cara-
    I too love to watch the Gilmore Girls, although I have to admit I like the older ones much better then the newer ones. I just bought the first season on DVD and one of my favorite episodes is when Dean kisses Rory in the supermarket.
    Any way happy knitting…

  6. Too funny about the hits on your blog. Hope you and Jen had a fun trip today. Did you buy the Koigu? I passed some up the other day. It was so hard to walk away!! I love that baby blanket pattern. Hope you get to start it this weekend.

  7. Did you see my post? I got a google hit off of “wore men’s underwear.” I feel as though its a rite of passage! 😉
    I love that baby blanket. I printed it up and will add it to my list…
