Knitted Thongs and Other Topics Discussed Last Night

I'm not exactly sure how we got on the topic, but it was a rather hilarious one. Apparently, there was a knitted thong on display at a LYS. The discussion turned from innocently discussing it's whereabouts and why it was taken off the shelf to someone trying it on to see if it fits. "Honey, I think you need to add a few more short rows." Because short rows are necessary to make it larger...I'll let your imagination wander on why one would need short rows.

Then there was a mention of the thong being felted and why in the world would you want to felt it? It should be an open weave!! *giggle* To allow things to breath!! That only seems logical to me. Well, from there it all went downhill!! I don't think I've laughed so hard in a looooooong time! Tears were streaming down my face. I'd like to find that pattern, though. *giggle* I bet I'm on someone else's blog about things they overheard US say Thursday night!!

So, the person that never has more than one UFO going at once, now has three. I started a sweater for DH. Then needed circulars to finish the sleeves so I started my scarf exchange scarf. Well, then the Knit Picks Shine came in for my shrug that I need next weekend so I started it. I have to finish the shrug first! I need it for my shoulders on the blue velvet dress for the Operation Smile Benefit we're going to. This is one of the two sleeves I finished. I started casting on the back, but started

to doze whilst counting and that NEVER works.

So upon looking at the pictures from Thursday night, this picture just made me LOL. My father used to do things like that when he saw a group taking a picture. They never noticed him at the time, but I'm sure it made for some funny pictures when they developed them.
