thanks Taylor, I would've been lost without you.

c'mon now, though, think about me here. I've been trying to tell people for well over a year now, I am unhip and I'm okay with that.

besides, first off: it's not like I'd make more than the alligator hands (because they fuckin' rawk, I don't care what you say!), a few butterflies and the smoking-man-bag; and secondly: can you picture me in any of the items you selected? I would come off looking like a total poser. though I really love the d bag and maybe I could get away with the leg warmers, though perhaps not those colours...

anyway, I wasn't selecting only the pictures I liked, but some of the goofier ones in there too, just for impact. Really, those monster feet would call for some really special occasion/person, and aren't something I'd likely make, but it certainly gives you a different idea of the kind of knitting book it is...

wait a minute, you think the stripey poncho is cool? man, i dunno about that one...

Okay, clearly you're not allowed to choose any more. jeezish. I'm picking the cool shit for you. Pay attention now:

What the fuck are you gonna do with alligator-hands, monster-feet, and a flower-shirt?

Stick with the monkey bags...

okay, that's it, I'm asking santa for book No. 2. check this out:
i'm guessing this last one is the one you're talking about, right Eric?

My grandma taught me how to knit a scarf when I was little, but I forget how to do it now.

I checked out Stitch N' Bitch at first for the sweet designs, but stayed for the 3rd-wave feminist perspective. Unfortunately, though I've read the book and know the terminology (knit, purl, in-the-round etc.), I can't actually do any of it myself.

That's what my sister's for; "hey, make me this shit pronto!".

Like I said: feminism is a beautiful thing, non?

haha, apparently some of the dollar stores in edmonton are selling meth and crack pipes!!! Holy shit. I mean, headshops are one thing... but damn. hahaha

Not only that but you can get meth and crack pipes at the fuckin flea market now too!!!



I love how this city is going to shit! hahaha

yup, definitely Stitch N' Bitch, my fave knitting book. from a fresh, feminist perspective too... do you two knit, or was it purely for the sake of exploring the pictures? And, Eric, I agree, number two has some awesome patterns too, I just don't think it's worth buying yet, until I've at least tried a few of the ones in the first one... you know, get my money's worth and all...

yeah Stitch N' Bitch is sweet. the second book is good too- there's this dope ass distressed guy's sweater in that one.

kay guys (JERE, JESSE) this NEW YEARS WILL NOT SUCK BECAUSE THERE"S A SWEET ASS DANCE PARTY GOING DOWN, AND I SURE AS HELLS AM SHAKIN' DOWN THERE COME THE TURN OF 2006:

Those patterns are totally from the first volume of Stitch N' Bitch.

I should know; I've read it.

uh, Taylor, it's, um, yarn not gummy worms... that's the kind of nerd I am... While the rest of the world searches for porn or plays videogames online, I look at wool... even I know it's nerdy. but in a crafty diy sort of way, so I don't feel bad about it at all! Once I'm actually good at more than just scarves, I'll try out some of the fun patterns, like these...
because who wouldn't want a monkey bag? or a lightning bolt bikini?...

And How much rummy eggnog do you need to drink for this to sound like a great idea? A south Wales bus driver has spruced himself up for Christmas by having a mini fir tree woven into his hair.
