I’m participating in the 3rd Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week. Today is Something A Bit Different challenge day. Enjoy.

I had fun with this one. It all started with imagining what a knitting/crochet themed version of The Onion would look like. It spiraled from there.

And just because I had so much fun making these, and because I promised the designers I would credit them and, while I was at it, link to their blogs, here you go:

Incidentally, if you happen to spot Crasher Squirrel on one of your project pages, please pass along the image. His mate and 4 little kits miss him. Plus, he’s in breach of contract with National Geographic. (If this reference to Crasher Squirrel confuses you, read more about Crasher Squirrel here. He was kind of a “thing” a couple of years ago, but if you missed that thing, here you go.)

3KCBWDAY2: In Which I Rub Catnip on a Ball of Yarn and Give it to My Cat to Play With

Posted in Clothing and Accessories, Competition, Humor, Knitting, tagged , , , , , , , on April 24, 2012 | 6 Comments »

I’m participating in the 3rd Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week. Today is photography challenge day. The idea is to share an interesting photo about something related to knitting or crochet.

I thought long and hard about the best way to honor my craft in photography. Perhaps a dignified still life with balls of wool sitting in for the fruit. An photo of myself eating shrimp fried rice with knitting needles for chopsticks. The photo of my grandpa laughing and holding up my first dishcloth, which I gave him for Christmas in 1989 (it was full of holes).

In the end, I decided to rub a ball of yarn with catnip and give it to my cat to play with. Enjoy.

Hello, what is this?

Ooh, catnip. My favorite. If I nuzzle it maybe I can absorb it through my face.

Ooooh. Pretty, pretty yarn. I love you, yarn.

I've got you, yarn. You can't escape my clutches. I hold you fast in my mighty jaws.

Rowwwwrrrr!!
