Ok, I’ve been reading about SocktoberFest everywhere and was thinking to myself, “Heh, last thing I need right now is another along to not complete!” But it turns out that SocktoberFest is another of Lolly’s wonderfully no-pressure alongs – simply knit socks in October. That’s it. No tricks. No gimmicks. Well, I can manage that – I always have a pair of socks in my purse. So I’m in!
It’s 39F here right now – brrrrr!!
Hopefully I’ll be taking Chaos to the vet in a little bit – let’s just say that his digestion has been, um, messy, for the past day and I’m a bit worried. So, to distract all of us, I present the Hat Edition of WTF Wednesday.
Of course, even if he’s not feeling up to snuff, Chaos had to get in on the photo action (butt on left) – so did May (paws on bottom).
But I’d hate for y’all to miss out on a good picture of those hats, so here they are again in all-too-vivid color:
Apologies in advance for any nightmares you might have as a result of that picture… In this next picture, do you think she’s saluting? Or about to cover her eyes to escape the horror? (Or is she a he??)
This picture reminds me of something or someone, but I’m drawing a blank. Twiggy maybe?
Crocheted bobbles in lovely 1970s colors, anyone?!
Alas, I don’t think these pictures cheered Chaos up.
Even Mayhem looks concerned…
Chris- Poor Pussy-Boy! Maybe he’s a little stressed?
Those hats are truly scary. There’s an episode of “Twilight Zone” that features a mannequin wearing one of those- freaks me right out!
Aww… poor Chaos. It is the cold and flu season.
Ok I like hats but those are just… scary.
Oh my god. I have that SAME booklet. Scored it at a yard sale (where else would one get it?!)
Poor Chaos…I hope he feels better. He truly has been MUCH too mellow lately. I’m sure he’s just adjusting.
Hmmm…maybe the reality of having a sister is taking a toll on Chaos?
Poor Chaos, there’s nothing worse than a kitty with an upset tummy.
Tell may to be kind to the big sick kitty.
I hope Mr. C is okay. And, um, don’t ever do that again with the hats. That is Just. Wrong.
Poor Chaos, hope he is ok. All of those hats are really scary and who would have worn them even “back then”.
“So Ma’am did you get a good look at the man who robbed you?” “Well I was so busy laughing at his stupid hand knit ski mask that I really didn’t.”
Hope Chaos is back to being master of the house soon.
hope Chaos is ok, he may just have gotten into something he wasn’t supposed to. 🙂
I sure hope it’s not because of May or that he’s worried about his weight!
Sorry about Chaos’ tummy troubles. My Spencer has the soft poo too! But what tops if off is the “wind”!!!! Ewwww.
Poor Chaos. Hope he is ok.
Hats = scary! Although I will need a balaklava for when I poke that person who scammed Peevish.
Aw, hope Chaos will be okay! This isn’t little-sister stress, I hope!
I hope Chaos feels better soon : (
I think my favorite part is the guy’s look on his face, is he telling the photog…”hurry the ef up!”?
(((HUGGSS))) to Chaos and Chris! (it goes without saying the baby gets one) but I surely hope Chaos is back on his four paws really fast!
Nurse! 100 ccs brain bleach, STAT!
*cringe*
I think I like my hat book better. Hee hee.
Poor Chaos! Hopefully it’s just adjustment woes? And it’ll go away quicklike?
Poor Chaos! I hope you feel better soon and it’s just stress (or eating the wrong food).
as for the hats:
…”But when you go to war with Sparta round about Christmastime, you’d rather they get near enough to actually clash swords – not collapse in fits of laughter two miles out of the city.”
“Not that we wanted to fight Sparta,” added Athena, adjusting her spectacles. “But, of course, one has to keep up one’s image.”
“I’m sure the bobble hats didn’t help,” said Hestia moodily. Cupid nodded slightly. “Or the stripy mittens,” he agreed.
sorry.. I had to!
from this
I can’t get over how damn cute that kitty is.
And, damn. Scary hats!
Yikes, I will be having nightmares for sure. Especially of the mask/glasses combo. Who would outline the eyes in a different color. Well I guess I would.
hope that sweet Chaos is okay… sounds like he got into Mom’s yarn.
those hats are downright scarey (and a bit creepy too).. getting into the spirit of Halloween are you? 🙂
I love your blog for all the contest and KAL reports -your like my Zagaats or TV guide of the blogworld and I’m now a fellow socktoberfest participant! Even with the prewarning, I just see serial killer written all over those hats! Heebie Jeebies!
Poor Chaos! feel better!
Chaos didn’t see the hats just after he ate, did he?
Chaos is afraid you’ll make him model one of those monstrosities.
Get better soon, Chaos!
(Pugsley hopes you feel better quick, too.)
Those hats are just wrong. So wrong.
WTF is right! Yikes, those hats are scary!
Emma is sending Chaos some good digestion vibes…
Hope the trip to the vet goes well.
Very good pic of Mayhem.
Those hats are pure class!
If someone knits me one, I will gladly model it.
OMG: what have I done? 🙂
pao
Those hats are a riot!
Carmie says feel better, Chaos.
Maybe not Twiggy – Fergie? Thats what I thought anyway.
Hope Chaos is feeling better soon
So glad that you can join the fun for Socktoberfest, Chris! 🙂
Those hats are a riot!
I hope Chaos feels better~
hmmm…i wonder if those pics are what caused chaos’ tummy problem 😉
I hope Chaos is back to his fine form by this evening! Give him a big smooch…
That fourth picture? Rhoda Morgenstern from Mary Tyler Moore.
I hope Chaos is going to be ok. Keep us posted.
And what’s wrong with some of those hats??? I mean…just use a different yarn.
Oh, who the hell am I kidding! Those are BAD fashion!
Awww. Hope Chaos gets better soon. Great find on those hats. It’s so scary to think people might have even knit those. For fun I mean, not just for the magazine they were published in. Though, it does give aspiring knitwear designers hope I guess. If those could be published, anything can.
Hope you’re fine, Chaos!
Poor Chaos 🙁 Perhaps he’s had too much change in his life??
….And those hats?? I’m speechless.
Scary Twilight Zone hats! Poor Chaos kitty, I hope you feel better soon!
Hey I hope Chaos is doing better. Those hats are too funny, I think i want the “Twiggy” one.
Hope all goes well at the vet — let me know, okay?
Dude, that hat with the bobbles and the matching scarf is too much.
Wow… truly scary hats….
Chaos didn’t eat spinach, did he? (Simon likes greens.)
Lucy and I have paws and fingers crossed for a clean bill of health for Chaos!
Poor Chaos. Give him scritches under the chin from me. May just be a slight touch of colitis. Easily fixable
Best wishes to Chaos!! HOpe he is better soon. Maybe it’s all the worry of having a new sister to take care of and protect?
Poor guy, hope he’s better soon! We’ve had a lot of weird digestive things lately…all three animals, Fun! Let’s just say there is some serious carpet shampooing going on.
I think he’s faking it to get more “mommy attention”.
Chaos is probably just doing this to get attention away from May. I do sincerely hope he’s okay!
I have 5 cats, and whenever one has messy digestion I mix some bran (i.e., bran flakes cereal or oat meal flakes) in their food and it takes care of the problem. I mentioned it to my vet and she was impressed. I hope this helps. By the way, I absolutely adore the photos of Mayhem.
I hope Chaos is OK!
I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m guessing that Mr Chaos is eating Miss May’s food. I bet that might be part of his issue if he’s having poop problems (kitten food is more fatty that adult food).
Those hat patterns are AWESOME! I bet they were made with cheesey acrylic too. Too bad you couldn’t find any in retina searing orange.
