Kat with a K is hosting UFO Resurrection Challenge 2007. Signups close January 31 and everyone who finishes will be entered in a prize drawing at the end of next year.
Hmm, not much knitting going on here (but I do have my presents wrapped!), so I think it’s time for another trip down memory lane… Check out those tights, eh? I bet you’ll all be emailing me, begging me for that pattern, because what could be more flattering to our thighs, right?! 😉
How about a massive collar with bobbles?! Here’s another weird thing about me – I never wear turtlenecks because I have a long skinny neck and turtlenecks are not flattering. I see these collar thingies and picture one of them on me… and I might have nightmares.
Doesn’t the French poodle (at the bottom) look like it should be holding a roll of toilet paper in someone’s grandmother’s guest bathroom?!
Quick! There’s still time to make yourselves a sequinned hood and party slippers before New Year’s Eve…
And can you believe that there are no actual photographs of these bonnets in the booklet?! These are the best part! I’m sure we can all think of a deserving child who needs a Clothilde Cat, Oswald Owl, or Lionel Lion bonnet…
Since you’ve all been doing so well interpreting black blob pictures this week, here’s another for you. I call it “Under the Chaos Bridge.” (If it helps, Chaos’ head is just off the bottom of the picture and one of May’s ears is to the right.)
I want the pattern for the tights!!! Too funny.
I think that I see a black mitt beneath that kitten.
Doesn’t EVERYONE need an elf hat? At least once in their lives. And knitted tights. Gotta have those too.
I wonder if May will ever be as big as Chaos or if she’ll be a petite kitty.
In all seriousness I want the tights pattern. *sigh* I am so ashamed. I offer up the fact I can’t buy tights as my defense….
Man….these things (and the piles of Workbasket magazines I have) SO make me wish I had time to knit gag gifts! If I combined those tights and that hat, I could make a right spiffy elf costume for my brother! 🙂
Personally, I like the bunny thing with the apron. I gotta go, I’m gonna make myself some party slippers;)
Oh goodie – a new song to hum today as I finish up wrapping presents…grrrrr!
Whoa ho – that is one BIG turtle neck…. but, maybe picture it with the tights? Ok, No.
I can’t even finish a pair of socks lately…. a whole pair of tights! But, it was 32 degrees when I went walking this morning, I bet they’d be comfy-warm under my sweats!
Damn.. I knew I was forgetting something! I have to go knit myself a sequined party hood.. immediately.
Oh, an elf hat and tights would be perfect for the holidays! My mom used to have a poodle bottle cover that someone made her. I think Chaos and May need some Mad Hatters hats. 🙂
We had a poodle thingy just like that when I was growing up, in a slate blue acrylic! It had a bar of soap in its belly, so I think it was supposed to be some funky oversized sachet.
actually, i would totally make that bobble collar…. 🙂
One of my earliest memories of yarn was spending endless hours making pom poms for my mom. I don’t remember what they were for, just making them. And I STILL want to make them. (Of course, I want taht same exact tool that they don’t make any more.) Pom Poodles are cool.
I think I would knit the tights anyday before I knitted the bobbles neckpiece, but I have no neck and wearing that would just make me look like a little block.
But, just picture it, wear the green tights, make the elf hat green with red and wear a red sweater and I would be ready to be a little Santa helper :). hehehehe
I can’t imagine how much yarn it would take to make those tights! I would also actually think that turtlenecks would work for your longish neck. If one has a shorter neck – the turtleneck makes the person look like they have NO neck!
Well, not having an ultra-long neck, I like such things as the ribbed cowl and hat…and while I like the idea of the UFO challenge, I’m up to my eyeballs in upcoming KALs, so I guess I’ll let that one go.
(sigh)
Careful, there, May – I understand that “bridge” weighs 10 pounds! If he falls down, you’ll be CRUSHED!
(((hugs)))
k, as for the kitties, “And for my next trick, May will pass through my body, without causing me any discomfort.” *oooh, wild applause*
And as for the tights…what hooker wouldn’t love a pair of hand knit tights to wear under her mini-skirt on those blustery evenings of turning tricks.
Put me down for a Clothilde!
OMG I need me a pair of those! Love the tights…especially if they’re in scratchy wool…blech!
Oh I have a new pic of M. Serge up! Check us out!
Those patterns give me nightmares…I’m already feverish. Stop. Or I’ll knit leggings and take a picture of my big butt in them. That’s nightmare-worthy.
Hmm… now you have me thinking of what those tights would look like while you are knitting them on the needles.. wow. “Are you making a pair of wool underwear? Why, yes, sort of… ”
Black blob pictures – is this a new version of the Rorschach? If so – I see a Valentine’s heart 😉
Those tights are nothing without the top.
That bobble collar is actually kind of cute.
A Chaos Bridge! No good can come from that…..
Do a trip down memory lane of your own next! (See my blog…)
I never wear turtlenecks because…well, because they’re turtlenecks.
And those tights should be burned.
Those green leggings are so atrocious! I can’t believe anyone would think, “Hey, let’s put this pattern in our booklet”.
Those tights are 100% horrifying!
I still have nightmares about the bulky, itchy thights that my mom made me wear when I was a little girl…
That poodle looks like it has an eating disorder!
I still have not wrapped a single thing – since you’re done how about coming over here and wrapping up gifts for me? I’ll make you a pair of those tights as payment.
Funny–I hate turtlenecks because my neck is SHORT (grin). (That, and I hate anything tight around my neck . . . I think I was hanged in a previous life or something….)
Those are all hysterical!
Is it wrong that I like that elf hat?
At an outdoor music event this summer, many people were wearing a pointy, wizard-like spiral hat. That elf hat would have fit right in to the scene. :O
Dude. Where do you find this stuff?!
the scariest of all is that eye-makeup on the elf-hat woman.. eeey-yi-yi !
Actually I would think someone with a long skinny neck would be the perfect person to wear turtlenecks. I have a short neck and can’t stand to wear them. I always feel like I’m choking. I always thought people with long necks would be the perfect candidates for these type of tops.
Some of these made me giggle uncontrollably! (But I would SO wear the elf hat)
Hmm… well, at least the striping on these tights is vertical.
Long time no see Chaos and Mayhem, beautiful/handsome as ever! 🙂
the memory lane pics are great–although the elf hats look shockingly modern–yes, I know, “mod”, but now
Where can I get the pattern for the tights? I love them.
