I just found the most amazing card ever... and card maker for that matter: SappyCards

Check this one out: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .and, should I buy this?



I am totally in love with the design, but damned if I know if it's just a lust at first sight thing, or if I'll actually want to take it home with me at the end of the day... so-to-speak. lovely though, ain't it?

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...

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

Stick with the monkey bags...

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?

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...
