Hi Ladies and Gents, I hope you enjoyed my April Fools joke as much as I did. Sorry Belinda, I can just see your instant panic!

I cant think right now of my favorites, so instead... its my most hated yarn... in no particular order.

I just started dating someone who is hokie obsessed... where can i get this "hokie splash"
(do not whisper or even BREATHE sweater curse.)
Pound O Love. Oh my!
I can't stand the Nashua Cotton. Too knotty! LH's Nautical Cotton will be my sub from now on.
My next blog entry is my most hated list...stay tuned. We have some overlaps on our list...splash being one...
I think I'd rather cut off my own hands with a blunt object than knit with Red Heart.... just saying.
haha-when I first started knitting and on my first trip to Mosaic (when it was where 5 guys is), Gina HERSELF tried to sell me that splash and told me of all it's wonderful merits!!! I even got called when some new Splash came in-hhahaha, how things change....(btw, I never did buy any, just sayin')
I think Lopi is at the top of my list. Didn't you get my reaction when you asked if my bag was knit out of Lopi? I hate the stuff with.a.passion.
So great meeting you on Sunday. And yes, I did knit the monkeys on my blog.

I like the Hokie splash and made tons of scarfs to sell. I also proudly wear mine when the need arises. So there!
Tanya, oh yes I did ask you that. I didnt mean anything negitive by asking you that- its just that we had some colors in lopi like your bag... and it felts really dense like you bag. I hope you didnt take offense.
Yes, it IS interesting how things change. a few years back we couldnt keep SPLASH on the shelves, and couldnt sell the Hanne Falkenberg kits! WHAT A CRAZY WORLD!!!
Ok, so what's up with the picture? Are you making fun of my hair!?!?
i do admit i made a hokie scarf FOR A FRIEND-"I was just holding it for a friend" (that's what you're supposed to say, right?) but she provided the yarn-and i don't mind them for the games b/c you're supposed to wear stuff like that to the games!!
Shut-up Jody! And Debbie! Don't tell anyone you love splash, you freak!
Ok that's it! I'm making Gina and Mimi lovely scarves for Christmas make from a combo of Red Heart, Lions Brand, and Splash. AND you will have to wear them so you don't hurt my feelings.
oooo your one Debbie... I cna find something "real nice" for you too...
Hey Debbie...how about some chocolate covered turds for Christmas? With or without peanuts?
That's disgusting, Gina. And mean. I'm trying to be nice and offer to make you a beautiful gift from the "heart" and you offer me doggie poop. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
"Hokie Splash" wouldn't exactly work for a sweater-- but I used some in a game-day scarf along with other maroon and orange yarns and it works well for that kind of thing. But constant exposure and an overdose of scarf knitting with it could probably do one in.
I'm pretty much past most of the novelty yarns, although I still have some in stash that I need to use up-- probably as accents on felted bags-- can use them for gifts.
By the way, I have you linked from my website now. Welcome!!
Oh, Debbie, just relax...calm down now...no need to get your knickers in a twist!
Happy Easter, Mimi.
Happy Easter to you too!!
Yuck is all I have to say about that yarn. I try to be neutral, but I can't help it
