I met a friend today who told me she just learned how to knit and joined a group called The Bitchy Stitchers. I love it. I loved it more when I told her I am a hooker. I crochet (get your mind out of the gutter, please). I’ve been crocheting on and off since I was 16. I saw a handmade yarmulke (kippa) and asked my grandma to teach me how to make one. She was a gifted crafter. She could knit, crochet, and sew and rarely used a pattern. Her ideas were usually her own unique designs that were fun. That is except for the hat she crocheted for me in bright red with a big ball of something on top that she said was a rose. It didn’t look like a rose and I never wore a red hat before that one or after that one. She did make these cool little poodles (I live in the home of the poodle posse so I am a little biased) out of miniature liquor bottles. They were so cute. I don’t have a single one. I have no idea what happened to them either so I will just have to try to make one in her memory. Finding the bottles will be a challenge. I know how she got her bottles but I don’t drink that stuff. I will keep you posted on the poodles and post a picture as soon as I make one.
Oh, BTW, I did learn to make yarmulkes. Never sold them, though. Maybe someday.
I am so excited. I am waiting with baited breath to see who won this week’s contest. 48 minutes to go. I will announce the winner tomorrow. Get your vote in if you haven’t voted yet!
Well, I got to go. I volunteered by tush at work (you would think I’d learn) and have to go in early. On my day off. Ugh.
