  5. I just got looked at funny because I cracked up in the middle of the coffee shop. oh well, at least I wasn't sipping my chai when I saw this! I'd hate to have to clean it out of my keyboard...

    Oh blessed Padraig, we thank thee for thy good work in a green and fertile land of sheep and wool. Come, we implore thee, and intervene here in Minnesota, that the pernicious curse of funfur be lifted here also...

    I'd never call you a leprechaun. I cannot really picture you dressed like the cartoon for Lucky Charms, though I can picture you gloweringly protecting your cashmere from all comers!

  15. Love it. I think they all swam to the Big Box stores here in the deep south, and are multiplying in the baskets.

    Sadly, 'tis just a legend. Fun fur was unknown until the wild synthetic was discovered in the late 19th century. Since then, millions of the cute little synthetics have been slaughtered so that we might have fun fur.

    And call you a leprechaun? Never! (But do I get three wishes if I rub your lamp, oh great genie?)

  19. No more fun fur! Ah, 'tis a good day to be Irish:)!

    I can't drink and read your blog - I spit out my liquids every time. You are hilarious. I am following Harry's twitter because of his "invite" ... I'm thinking about the progress of the poncho and I just love you. I have your calendar this year ... ok enough gushing. You make me laugh.

    I have been too sick this week to knit, some days too flu-ridden to read or go online. This is the best I've felt in a week. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I like fun fur! I even bought a ball of it in Ireland a few years back. It must be hiding in cargo holds to sneak back in.

    Okay, this is unrelated to this particular post and also kind of dorky, but I just discovered your blog last weekend. And this week has been otherwise pretty crappy, but reading through your back archives has been one very brights spot. So...thank you.

    I agree in principle...and I do not have any fun fur in my stash...but I DID once knit a fun fur thong for a male friend of mine on the occasion of his marriage. It was a *huge* hit, apparently, and not just among our co workers.

    I'm pretty sure it comes here and gets sent to Michael's Crafts. Too bad it's not SAINT Michael's Crafts--it could be driven out of there, too.

    Funny, funny picture!

  46. The picture even has the appropriate level of disdain " be off with thee! I cannot bear to even look upon such hideousness!"

  47. I don't know if someone has linked this before, but I believe it's a rare never-before-seen picture of Dolores! http://fatpita.net/?i=5537
