« I haven't seen BonneMarie in months, so I thought I'd respond to her meme. | Main | Re-Entry = Rough. »
Je vous pose deux questions avec le meme reponse.
Q: 1) What is the best way to ensure that you have new duds for Rhinebeck?
and
Q: 2) What is the best way to use up your yarn stash?
A: GET SOMEONE ELSE TO KNIT IT FOR YOU.
Thanks to Monica, for my awesome new sweater...
*Said to the same cadence as "Monica Bang". You know what I'm talkin' about. How you doin'?
I'll be back from Rhinebeck on Monday and maybe then we'll talk about how I may be the knitter with the most knitted items knit by other people. Also I have the awesome Beck concert to talk about, and my newest crazy project (cough*jen's fault*cough)...
Until then, for those who asked about the dress, I don't seem to have any photos of myself (shocker). Here is a picture of most of Arlene's grandchildren (minus two grandsons [my brother & tony]). She also has a few great grandchildren not pictured here -- Brandon, my brother's kids, Tony's kids?, although some she never got to meet. :(
What am I doing there, edging out the bride? Was I drunk?
That's all for now. Catch ya on the flip side, losers...
Loser was my favorite term of affection for many, many years. If you didn't know. And that would make you what? Ah, now you're gettin' it. Mua ha ha ha ha ha.

I remember that awesome sweater Becky knitted you a few years ago as well, you should show off all your "other people knitted" sweaters! This one is very nice!

SEE YOU TOMORROW YAYAYAYAYAY.

That sweater is gorgeous! Now why didn't I think of someone else making one for me. You're a genius.
Is that sweater a Debbie Bliss pattern? Tell me details when I see you this weekend...

okay...how do you keep getting people to do this for you?!
It looks great. See you soon!

Wow, go Monica for knitting you that sweater! And go you for somehow getting her to do it! I am jealous that you'll be at Rhinebeck, and I won't. Someday, someday.
Also, my terms of affection include bitch and ho. There's just something warm and fuzzy about it.

You do look fabulous -- in both the sweater and the dress! That Monica is totally too much. Have a great trip.

You are bloody brilliant! The sweater and the dress are fantastic and you rock them.
Have fun at Rhinebeck! I expect a full disclosure on the blog :)

was that like a preminition, u knew that the only way u'd get a decent pic of u in your fabulous dress was to edge out the bride .. I gather there were no other pics available to show off the whole dress??? .. by the way u look awesome ..
love the sweater (what my Brit hubbie calls a pullover) .. we from the land of down under call them jumpers .. why do American's call them sweaters??? .. is it a knitting term?? .. anyway u look great in it, a perfect fit .. lucky girl 4 having a clever and generous friend ..
