This reminds me of my neighbor, a very nice lady in her sixties (at the time) who once ran to our house to have my mother remove a tiny, extremely sharp crochet hook from her butt cheek. Memories.
Thanks for your part in todays wonderful "On Point" on knitting ... so much was said yet much more left out ... maybe he will do a follow up ? Thank you again
How wonderful to tune into "On Point" last night after a LONG day at work to find that knitting was the topic and that you were a featured guest! I've never enjoyed that program so much. You were marvelous! Thank you.
loved this. and, scored a copy of your calendar when visiting Philly last week at Loop. When I last checked Interweave's site, it was sold out (and this was in December, I think)!!
Franklin, I very much enjoyed your presentation at Madrona Saturday evening and I want to thank you for taking the time to sign my copy of It Itches. My daughter, Joy was in your class and brought it in for me. I hope you enjoyed your stay at the Murano and will come back to visit us again.
The thought of encountering the stealthy invisible Blackthorn needle when I sit down on my similiarly dark colored couch has prevented me from purchasing them. They look dangerous!
Thanks for the Valentine's giggle!
ReplyDeleteI really love this one! Thanks for the big laugh!
ReplyDeleteOh that's rich! Happy Valentine's Day, Franklin!
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
I want my Ravelry funny button everywhere!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I hope it wasn't a Blackthorn!!

ReplyDeleteOh those dpn's, so easy to mistake for the real thing!
ReplyDeleteHope this wasn't based on any first-hand (or first-butt-cheek) experience!
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy VD to the entire Habit/VanHoofen/Bollasockyarn household.
OMG! Thanks for the valentine's big laugh! I really love this one.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine!
That is Classic.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference I admit it.
ReplyDeleteadorable
ReplyDeleteLOL cute!
ReplyDeletesnort.. Lovely.. so glad there are other twisted minds out there that find this kind of thing funny.. and a very brilliant mind that writes them.
ReplyDeleteThose dpn's are more use than Cupid's Arrow!!
ReplyDeleteFranklin, you are my valentine.
ReplyDeleteWhat would the world do without this kind of humor?
(I know, actually. It would be very dull.)
And removal is very painful. First hand experience.
ReplyDeleteShe might be getting the "Bent Needle Award" at camp this year!
ReplyDeleteYou know it was a Blackthorn! Those things are invisible! (Word verification "irertafe" as in, :It irertafes me when I accidentally sit on a DPN."
ReplyDeleteThat could be misleading.
ReplyDeleteStealth knitting leads to stealth love ... er ... then again, maybe not, just a pain in the you-know-what. Nicely done. :)
ReplyDeleteWord verification: imatruck. Excuse me? From the word verification system? Sheesh. :)
love love love! smooches!
ReplyDeleteI really, really need a print of this. Please? When you have a spare moment?
