I Can't Help Myself!
Yarn porn!
I got all of this at Dollar Tree. You know I'll buy anything for a dollar.
I'm thinking, this sleeveless cowl for the peachy color Bernat Frenzy. And something similar (but not a cowl) for the blue. And, yeah, that red is a little bright, but that's the appeal, I think.
My old job was at a bank, so I had to dress very conservatively. Well, okay. I didn't have to, but if I wore my red suit or the African print skirt, they gave this weird look like I'd just grown another head. The head of a giant fuschia dolphin.
It's the same look they would give me when I cracked a joke or made any type of literary or cultural reference.
(Okay, if you take attendance on a conference call and the person doesn't answer, even though you call their name a couple of times... Isn't it funny to say "Bueller...? Bueller...?" Well, maybe not hilarious, but I shouldn't have to explain it, right?)
Bankers. Sigh. They aren't actually required to have their senses of humor surgically removed, but they don't really have much of a chance of getting a corner office with their funny bones intact.
Anyway, when I worked there, it was black suits, navy suits, grey suits. Maybe the occasional brown suit, if I really felt like a wild woman.
That's the origin of Patwoman, I think. She was born out of a severely stifled need for color... texture... personality. And now that she's loose, Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
She will never be contained again!
Batman: Hold it right there, Patwoman!
Patwoman: What? Batman? You again?
Batman: Yes, Patwoman. As long as evildoers abound, there will always be a need for Batman.
Patwoman: Sure. Sure. But I wouldn't say I was necessarily an evildoer. I'm more of a mischief maker. A trash talker, if you will.
Batman: Same diff. Now, are you going to come quietly, or do I have to break out the Bat Cuffs again?
Patwoman: Oh, Adam. I wish I could quit you.

Yarn porn!!! If only you could lay your hands on some Red Heart Navy Fleck, I'd be your servant forever. Oh,wait...lol, I already am in a way. I hate it when yarn companies discontinue colors. Hope Batman lets you "off" easy. ;)
They discontinued it? WalMart has a similar yarn, I believe, under their house brand. I've used it, I'm sure.
And thanks for the good thoughts about Batman. You know, sometimes I worry that with his exciting crimefighting lifestyle, I just won't be enough to keep him interested.
Did you not see the little sign at the front of the store that says something along the lines of 'If you need more than what we have in this store of an item, please call this number to see how many we actually have available for purchase'????
So..someone could potentially call that number & obtain all the yarn the Dollar Tree currently has available.
All of the yarn. All of the $1 yarn. Skeins and skeins of it. All for a $1.
MMMMmmmmmm....dollar yarn.
Thanks for the tip, Pat. I will look the next time I'm in there.
What?..You think you can just show us some pretty yarn and distract us all from the fact that you haven't blogged in a week??...It's just...it's..
ohhhhhh...look at the red!!!..it looks so soft...
