Anyone tired of the backpack yet?

Still plugging along. I’m thinking now that I did the eyelets too low. Oh well.

I went to the LYS yesterday and picked up a pair of size 19 Clovers in anticipation of materials arriving for Larissa’s knit up. They are freaking huge. Check this out.

You could “spear a wild boar” with those things! (Anyone know what that‘s referencing?)
UPDATE- I misquoted, sorry. After there was some interest in the comments, I watched to double check, and it is “skewered a wild boar”. Sorry. I’m still not telling. I’m having fun at this point.

Tomorrow is Health Group. It remains to be seen whether or not I’ll have any official weight declarations. I wouldn’t suggest holding your breath.

    You just reminded me that I should make a run to Ben Frankling. I need sz. 19 needles for this project too.

    They are HUGE! Hummmmmm… something is ringing in the back of my wee little brain about a movie – Robin Hood, I believe – The Wild Boar of Sherwood or something like that??? She could turn them around and they would make great drumsticks!

    Oh, she’s been drumming them alright! And you’re wrong about the movie. It’s not Robin Hood. Hehe.

    Is it Lord of the Flies? I think it’s a creepy movie but that’s what came to mind.

    I am also participating in Larissa’s Knit Up, thanks to your blog for telling me about it! I’m excited!

    And, I just want to tell you that I really enjoy reading your blog. I have a few that I look at and yours is always so upbeat and leaves me inspired. Thanks for letting me in on your life of knitting and otherwise! ~Allison

    Aha, I think I know the answer, but I sort of don’t want to spoil it by saying. It is a movie and a book, I believe; does that part Ring true? You know how to pick a good quote (or quoter, I should say) – perhaps I should watch that part a few times just to make sure 😉

    Allison- thank you so much. What a sweet thing to say. It’s a pleasure. And no, sorry, it isn’t Lord of the Flies.

    Laura-Marie- HA! I think you got it! Good job! :-).
