I've got a million of 'em: Lord knows how many of these I've knit and foisted on friends. Now it's a kit. The Lamb is kitting up yarn and patterns for Nake-id Totes to sell at Convergence. (Handles are available separately from eJoyce.com.) This latest was knit as a show sample from Cascade 220, color 9440, which has cool lime-green and hot-pink flecks.
I'm a proud mama.
Daily rant: Today goes to Betsy Hoffman, president of the University of Colorado (God, I hate that school), who in a sworn deposition said the "c-word" could be used as a term of endearment. A spokesperson for the university said that Hoffman, a Medievalist, was probably referring to Chaucer's use of the term in The Canterbury Tales, a time and place where the connotation was not negative. Read the entire story here.
One could almost make an argument for "endearing" phrases like "She's my 'ho" or "She's my bitch." But the c-word?
Imagine the result of these exchanges in the Hoffman household: "C-word, can you get me a glass of water?" "C-word, can you be a dear, and hand me the remote?" "Oh, C-word, I love you." Mr. Hoffman, I imagine, would be dead by end of day, found in a Boulder alley with a mortar board shoved up his sphincter. But the football coach?
Unbelievable.
