2CKBWDAY5 - And now for something completely different

(Sorry I was gone yesterday - I started antibiotics on Weds. and it really hit me hard.  I'm feeling much better now, though.)

Perpetuating a Stereotype

I like Charlotte Russe.  Really, I do.  Enough to get their emails every day, and, once in a while, look at their gorgeous clothes.  Today I found this.

Here's a picture:

And another picture:

Do you see what I see?

This "crocheted" wrap is obviously knit.  It's enough to make me write a strongly-worded email.  Crochet is not knitting.  Knitting is not crochet.  They are two.  Different.  Crafts.

What's worse is people just don't understand my angst. I understand, if you do neither it may not seem like a big deal. But to me, semantics is an incredibly important aspect of intelligence.  It just seems like an incredibly 'DERP' moment.

(Note: I do not own these images, nor am I claiming ownership in publishing them here.)

Another collaboration finished - kind of

Once again, I find myself doing work for stop mo - this time with W.  And instead of knitting a baby hat at club (shame!) I made this:

Yes, it's a wee little Thorpe for a puppet! I got to put it on him and do my homework with him tanding by my teapot.

Tonight he gets his legs tuned up, his mittens on, and later on this weekend he will become a movie star! I'll make sure to post in the next 5-6 weeks, when the film is completed and up online.

I also got a belated Christmas gift from my friend at Hooks and Needles! Stitch markers!

I love the presentation! :)  She doesn't make them professionally, but I think she should - they're gorgeous.

Christmas Presents of the Non-Knitting Variety

Each year, my college friends do a secret santa - freshman and sophomore year, it was run through our floor, but this year, we did it ourselves.  I got a cool kid that likes war-like things, and pokemon.  So I went and made him this:

What is this?  It's a snowglobe! I made it with hot glue and army men :) It only cost about 7 dollars, too!

I wrote "Merry Christmas" in German (I don't speak German, but I looked it up) on the bottom.

I hear tell he had a total unwrap attack when he opened it! My roommate said she would film it, but she hasn't posted it up yet and it's been a few days, so I don't know if she ever will.
