BYC Crochet Club **ARCHIVE THREAD** NEW THREAD OPENED

[skand]

LC, It's gonna cost ya two million hugs to get this yarn from me. lol
I was looking for some kind of burnt orange color, lady came out, "can I help you?" "yeah, I'm looking for yarn." What kind of yarn?" "Yarn for a friend." "Is there a particular yarn your friend is looking for?" Yeah, cheap yarn." by this time, she's about ready to kick me out of the store, so I relent..."It's Red Heart, TLC. She said it might be discontinued, I see the Red Heart Brand, and I see the TLC Baby, but I don't see the TLC without the baby. Do you have any hidden skeins in the back that aren't our front?" She sends 3 NOT 1, but 3 people in the back searching boxes! She then gets another lady to help her, poor women, all she needed to do was say, I think it might be over here there, wherever, and I would have looked myself. Just don't ever run at me and start asking if you can help me! I'm nice if ya don't scare me! Anywhoo, they found it, one just like it, and a couple of other colors I think I might grab next time. Wasn't expecting green I guess.

I know,, I'm pickin at the lil things, but details matter, otherwise I end up sending the box in a zippy bag! er wait,.. durrrr I see it. Individual baggies. Okay, must be late.... eyes winding down...brain drainin...

Karan the photo is of me (a lot younger - hehe college age) doing one of those wild west old time photo things. I can post a bigger version of it later.

Show us some leg there Risu ! I did one of those, too bad I was like 9 and scared to death! Think the only copy got tossed years ago thank goodness.

Scoot, my finding fairy flew the coop to find something I think.
I'll find that fairy and make her look.
Dang it, I need another to go find that one.
Risu! You steal another one of my fairies?!

Skand, what I did this time was put my 3 squares for each person in one sandwich bag with a paper tht had my name on it in the bag. So in the spring if I did 3 shapes for everyone, I would drop the 3 in one bag. Is that clear as mud?!

Here, this will make you laugh...just when you think you've seen it all, and you have the crocheted boobie pot holders and the crocheted male anatomy, now you can be stylin in your fried egg wrist cuffs!!!! http://monstercrochet.blogspot.com/2007/02/free-pattern-fried-egg-cuffs.html

It's clearing up now. Thankies. Sorry, told ya I'd drive you insane sooner or later.

Put thread on needle, make chain, turn, repeat. Turn, repeat, oooo pretty pattern emerging. I get it.

That's just too funny, esp with the line...
Mr. Linoleum is modeling these styling embryonic accessories...

Love the name, wonder if it's really his name. Would almost have to be for actually being talked into not only wearing, but pics too!
