Jane is celebrating her fifth blogiversary with a contest! She’s giving away a gorgeous sock bag, Schaeffer Anne yarn, and one of her lovely photo calendars. For your chance to win, answer her question in the comments before midnight tonight (March 20).
Leave a comment for Wendy by noon EDT, March 22, for your chance to win a copy of Mother-Daughter Knits by Sally Melville and her daughter.
Lisa’s having another snow melt contest! Submit your snow pile melt date guess by 5 pm EDT, April 3, for your chance to win one of two extremely cool Nantucket Baggs. (These handy dandy tool bags will tempt nearly everyone, not just knitters.)
I have been listening to Swedish band The Chrysler on heavy rotation this week, particularly their song “First Blood.”
Happy vernal equinox to one and all. Unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere – then happy autumnal equinox to you!
Eeek! I’m glad this light is only a concept. (Eye of Sauron moment, anyone?)
Did you hear the one about the sheep and the Welsh shepherds?
Chicken sweaters. Huh.
Aren’t these cool cat beds?
I’ll have to show this and this to Chaos and Mayhem so they can see how lucky they are to just have to model bibs.
I can so see Chaos doing this.
Hey you cats – looking for tips on how to annoy your people? Look no further!
“My foot’s pretty tasty, too.” -Mayhem
And, she is much daintier! Happy Friday!
Jane makes the best little bags. Everyone should join that contest. Mayhem, how tasty are your ears?
That Nantucket bag might just be the first bag I purchase specifically for knitting.
Have a good weekend!
That eye lamp reminds me of The Neverending Story. Creepy.
Those little cat beds are totally cool!
I saw the LED sheep earlier.
Pong. The did Sheep-Pong!
I have barely been able to even cruise my fave blogs, thanks for the sheep video, it made my morning!
Chris- I have looked everywhere for the perfect knitting bag- that won’t make ME look like a bag- and I’ve come to the sad conclusion that it doesn’t exist.
Bow wow wow yippy yo yippy yay

Bow wow wow yippy yo yippy yay
I saw that one in the window and immediately thought of my little guy too. I can so hear him yelling it as people walk by.
Yep, that’s Chester too. He’s already broken one of the slats in the blinds while sticking his head and paws through!
That eye light is a scary idea. Can you imagine an office building hallway lined with those. Big Brother is watching you!
May, it looks like you might be enjoying a catnip filled pillow, and therefore, I’m not totally certain you even know it’s your foot you’re washing.
I wish I’d thought to knit sweaters for a few of my chickens when they’d gotten a bit hen-pecked. Wow!
I *love* the sheep. That made my entire day.
Did you see the etsy cat beds on moderncat made out of vintage suitcases? So perfect, because we all know how much cats adore suitcases…

But why would anyone BUY a cat bed when they can KNIT one? ::wanders away, shaking head at the foolishosity of people::
I need a sheep dog.
Am I too nerdy if I really like the lamp?
Also? Teen and I were watching the Extreme Herding last night and laughing our heads off!
Love those cat beds! Plus there’s an awfully good-looking model in them.
I love the LED sheep video!
Actually that chicken looks pretty sharp in its sweater.
wouldn’t that qualify as a cat *hand*? The cat in the high chair is too funny!
I want to see someone actually putting the sweater on the chicken. It can’t be a pretty site…
My friend and I used to say to each other when we were having a bad day, “chicken in bikinis”. It was a goofy visual that always made us laugh, but now the chicken in sweaters. That is even goofier I think. I will have to send her that link.
It’s really all cats do isn’t it?
Ranger and Hazel say “We took the expert course on how to annoy our humans. We’ve got certificates.”
those chicken sweaters are so funny! (yet a good cause) and at least it is finally a good use of eyelash yarn 🙂
I’m pretty sure that my cats sent submissions for the how-to-annoy-your-people list. My all time favorite is the one where the cat chews the yarn in half between the knitting in your hand and the ball sitting on the floor. Then she gets that sweet “who me” look.
That eye lamp is pretty cool. For some reason it made me think of BSG. I like the tips for cats to annoy their humans. Merlin does the door scratching thing already!!
