Seduced by Yarn

Once upon a time in a beautiful upside-down land there lived a fair maiden sheila named.... well, it doesn't matter what her name was. She lived in a land where the sun always shone; where the birds twittered joyfully in the trees; where the warm ocean breezes whispered sweet nothings; where the scent of bbqs filled the air while the booze wine chilled in the esky cooler. Everything was perfect…..too perfect!

One day this handsome prince arrogant dark lord bloke appeared with the most awesome spinning fiber the shiela had EVER seen. Blue Face Leicester Top in a 2lb bag! It was intoxicating; it was breathtaking; …it was…..orgasmic!

The sheila knew she had to have this golden fleece at any cost. And cost her it did! The evil lord bloke lured her away from her beautiful land, dumped her in the land of the freezer, enslaved her into the house and garden, and demanded she cook, clean and wash til death do they part.

THE END.

Moral: watch out for wolves in sheep’s clothing!

Oh, and I should mention that at long, long last, I am about to cast on a pair of Jaywalkers!! I’m using Hand-Dyed Fleece Artist Merino Sock Yarn that I got from Knit CafĂ© at the Knitter’s Frolic earlier this year. The socks will be for my sister's birthday. She will LOVE this purple colorway!
