Let me get this part out of the way:

I feel obliged to point out that I was working both sides of the Deep-V on this Pullover at the same time so that they match perfectly. The other side is fine. This must have happened when I went back to fix that other problem – I really shouldn’t watch interesting television and try to knit at the same time. But whatever. Any sort of urgency I felt toward this sweater vanished when I turned off the heater and opened the windows about three weeks ago. I know we’ll have at least one more cold snap that has the potential to be sweater-worthy, but even that hasn’t provided much motivation.

I’d rather make toys. Let’s call it a phase.

Prototype Chicken!

I plan to make the pattern for Sweetie Chicken and her rooster companion available at some point in the future. They are developed entirely from scratch* and inspired by this low moment for Alabama’s legislative branch concerning the current cockfighting law. My favorite part is the elected officials who were in the building and didn’t bother to show up for the meeting. Which was a total circus with all the out-of-towners, but still. If you choose to read the article, the more interesting** parts are on page two.

I don’t want to end on a down*** note so I will leave you with one last image:

Guess what?

*wahahaha I am so funny!
**In other words: disgraceful.
***ohhohoho The chicken jokes never stop!
