ballette

25 cents! hand stitched in full glory!
****
i found it at the mega goodwill
that is the 'catch all' for all the goodwills around town.
everything is priced 1.24 a pound.
this makes me weigh things with my arms
saying..."i dont know...? 20 cents maybe???"
its very annoying im sure
but i cant help it.
*****
there was a sweet old little veteran there singing hymns
in a sad slow voice above the ratty shoes and stuffed animals
it was part romantic, part slasher flick.

true love

this is a close up on the embroidered belt i found at goodwill today.
i hooted when i found it and did a little dance.
it makes me feel like im in norway playing a flute
i dont know why
but its pure-ass true love.

owls want your hats

an owl once swarmed at this head of this kid i kind of knew...
he would not stop talking about it.
so this is for him.
in honor and memory of that kid.
i didnt really know him...
but this is for him.

owls want your hats.

mr pontuffle

i used to have a little white mouse named pontuffle.
today would have been his birthday
his favourite food was spinach.
when i would come in the room i would
squeal spiiiiiinnaaaaaeeecchhhheeeessss to him
and he would get all crazy excited
and 'hef' 'hef' 'hef' all about his little house.

i used to knit him litttle suits and
carry him in my pocket on the subway
letting strangers pet him for a quarter.
many a cheesburgers were bought that way.
*sigh*
those were the days.

the ruffle muffle

heartily inspired by poetry in stitches. ripped off, inspired.. you know...

well i am off my all-honey diet... (i wasnt seeing any improvement )
and onto grapefruit and black coffee..
i feel a bit bitter.

perfidia & hindrance

hindrance: "weve been up all night knitting...
its time to get some sleep"
perfidia: "we'll sleep plenty when we're dead!"

these pixie ladies are knitting a long black and white stripey tube with
spider webby fine silk and size 10 1/2 needles.
they are so very very naughty
and read dirty books late into the evening.
but their handiwork is unearthly and worth the finest fair prizes.
wouldnt you know their shoe size is a precious 6.
********
today the yarn store was so busy
i barely had time to eat my honey.
(im on an all-honey diet)
it is very good for the heart
chants of "sticky-lips, sticky-lips" will nOt stop me.

from their first cigarette to their last dying day

this is the tale of two tough little chicks from opposing gangs.
crochet is a little loopy and runs with a bunch of hookers.
and knits pretty hooked on the needle.
theyve never really gotten along...plus
back in high-school, knit slept with the macrame,
the ONLY guy that crochet has EVer liked. (even if he is a dirty hippie)

*aqua seafoam angora*

today i was thinking about the swan i had
when i was a little girl.
i named her gooseberry alice
and would try to ride her back in our pond
so i would be part of a magical procession of floating birds.
i drifted mostly behind,
and sometimes i would give her a piece of gum.

somethings up with jack

jack skellington knitting needles made this
you are a sucker. you want them.
i want them for you.

*spotlight hogging is ok if you are hOT*

this harlot stole my scarf

look this crazy little stone person just begged to put it on
and i let her because she can get nasty when shes angry.
