Goodnight and I started going through her school supply list for high school and we went shopping for a few things. While in the school supply department, I spotted the following that I decided I needed for knitting:
It’s a bright pink ruler! Oh, I have a couple of rulers at home, and a couple of yardsticks, and a couple of tape measures, so I didn’t buy this one because I needed it. I bought it because it does this:
It’s a snap bracelet! I don’t care that mine says ‘Wild Thing’ on it. One end overlaps the other, so I can cover the words . . . or expose them as my mood dictates, I suppose.
While I’m knitting, I tend to wrap my sewing tape measure around my neck so I have it handy for measuring as I go. It’s a long tape measure and sometimes it slips off without my noticing. This bracelet will stay out of my way, but be handy for when I need it.
Makes me want to knit. I just might!
I never knew you needed any outside motivation to knit!
Wild Thing, you make everything groovy… (That’s all of the Wild Thing lyrics I’ll sing to you, even though I guess I do kinda love ya – just not in that way…)
Carol: I suppose the slap bracelets were meant for folks many decades younger than I am, but I could wear the Wild Thing bracelet with my T-shirt that says Wild Women Never Get the Blues. . . maybe?
There ya go!
And simply as a fashion statement, the pink band will go quite well with your next purple phase.
Trav: Why, I think you’re right about that! Next question: “Wild Woman” out or in?
Well, since you’ll probably have more than one day in purple, I say switch it up and do both!
Trav: You’re so good to me!
