Funny Message.....

In one of the many knitting newsletters that I receive there was a funny, but so TRUE message. I just thought I'd share in case anyone is looking. :)

A recent study indicated, that Yarn and thread gives off certain Pheromones that actually hypnotize women and cause them to purchase unreasonable amounts.

When stored in large quantities, in enclosed spaces, the Pheromones, (in the yarn,) cause memory loss and induce the nesting syndrome, (similar to the one squirrels have, before the onset of winter, i.e. the storing of food,) therefore, perpetuating their species and not having a population loss due to their kind being cut into pieces and mixed with others.

Sound tests have also revealed, that these yarns, emit a very high-pitched sound, heard only by a select few, a breed of women known as "knitters." When played backwards on an LP, the sounds are heard as chants, buy me, wind me into a ball, and knit me".

In order to overcome the so called "feeding frenzy effect," that these yarns cause, one must wear a face mask when entering a storage facility and use ear plugs, to avoid being pulled into their grip. (One must laugh, however, at the sight of customers in a yarn store, with WW2 army gas masks and headphones!).

Studies have also indicated, that aliens have inhabited the earth, helping to spread the effects, that these yarns have on the human population. They are called "YARN STORE CLERKS".

It's also been experienced, that these same Pheromones, cause a pathological need, to hide these yarn purchases, when taken home (or at least blend them into the existing stash.) When asked by a significant other if the yarn is new, the reply is, "I've had it for awhile."

My Knitting & Crochet Stitch Markers

Well, I guess I should just jump right in...
I make polymer clay & beaded knitting & crochet stitch markers. I sell them on ebay & etsy. I have put a link to my etsy site here in case you would like to see what I have for sale. I really enjoy making these and enjoy using them more when I am knitting! What I make from selling them helps finance my yarn addiction!


Here are a couple of photos of a few of them.... Sweet Peas, Chickens & Sheep, I make many others.



Right now I am working on some ghosts & pumpkins & halloween candy for the fall.






My first post!

Ok, here goes.... I am a new blogger and know nothing about this so I am just winging it. :) Hopefully it will get better after I get used to everything and figure out how to change a few things.
