He’ll have a delightful time gumming down this Sour Candy aran yarn from Out of Step Dyeworks. So bright and squishy for the holidaze. I’m thinking this would make a lite brite awesome cowl. Or you know, some giant yellow and pink underwears. Anyone? Anyone?

The Princess Deems This Very Good Indeed
December 7th, 2010Our loyal subject Gaelen has sent in a picture of a loverly scarf she knitted in Be Sweet’s awesome recycled t-shirt yarn. She did it in a simple diagonal knit/purl pattern and We approve highly.
Two interesting encounters…Domiknitrix came in and loved the yarn/book selection. And then a couple lovely ladies touring with OK Go came in and purchased yarn and books to keep them going on those long bus rides. Creating the rawk isn’t all glamour, as the Princess well knows.
Our Subjects must be in the holidaze spirit, as the fragrance of the mary janes is wafting heavily into the store pretty much every day. Our subjects must be hotboxing it and coming in to buy psychelic variegated yarns.

Trip Report from the Wilds of Chicago
December 1st, 2010Dear Subjects:
Our fact-finding trip to the frozen midwest turned out to be more alarming than We could imagine. First, our subject Amanda (to whom we did finally concede the fantastic Belissima mittens of 2 or 3 blog posts ago–she had to wrench them out of our grasping monkey paws) gave your Sovereign a lovely candle to light Her way through the cold night. So of course, We lit it, after much fumbling about with the matches. And the fire alarm went off. Then We proceeded to set the alarm system for the house off as We headed for the airport, locking Ourselves out of the house. Alarming, indeed.
But between those times there was much merriment, and a bit of boredom. The merriment included the creation on your Sovereign’s part of the Infamous Turkey Cake, a fantastic creation layered with a turkey loafish thing, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes liberally laced with whiskey, Stovetop stuffing and cranberry sauce, all arranged in the form of a cake, because it all gets mixed up in your stomach anyway. We have submitted half-eaten evidence below. It was DEELISH.

We also submit for your adoration the half-completed (or half-eaten) hat made from Spincycle yarn for Our Subject Andy, but now probably taken back for our sovereign. It’s from a WWII pattern, cause the Princess is a history geek. Sort of.

Then we went to a modern opera supposedly depicting the nonsensical struggle between truth and fiction in Lewis Carroll’s life. Our sovereign discovered that we don’t like opera, and that nonsensical abstract opera lends itself to boredom. Which sends the Princess into a rage. We had everyone there killed, which at least provided some amusement.
Were We not merciful?! What say you, subjects? Should that which is boring to us not be eliminated? What boredom would you like to eliminate if you could? We’ll see if We can take care of it for you.
