Ok, craft magazine really is my favorite magazine :)
That's all.
Except for all you Outlaw Knitters out there...I knit at both swim lessons (again, Pig, not mine) and then at Cub Scouts.
Plus on the way back to the car from the Scout meeting thing Pig 1 asked "what time do you think the werewolves come out, I know they get done at midnight, but do you think they will be out right now?"
Oh, yes, tears did well up in my eyes, my little Pig is well on his way to being a little Ogre.

HandKnits, Popcorn, NFL and Zombies
So I was supposed to help the Ogre's Ogre Dad, Marshall get his blood drawn today, which I technically did do, but I also got a job.
Then I was also supposed to go to a fabric shop and pick something up so the Ogre could finish Pig 3's Lovie, but I didn't, I was looking for my resume. Because although I got the job, I still have to send my info to Human Resources.
Oh, the job? Yeah, turns out, I'm awesome, and there's a shortage of certified Medical Laboratory Technicians who are awesome. Really. If you are an awesome MLT you walk into a building that houses a medical lab and see if you get a job.
Looks like Eddie Bauer is out, I have to save people's lives instead! Plus the pays better, and the shoes are more comfy.
Now, knitting news. Actually weird blog news. My buddy John submitted my post
The NFL Meets Cascade 220 Yarn List to the blog Uni Watch blog and now all these football guys are clicking over to knit with snot. I am sure they are sadly dissappointed that I am not a giant chested cheerleader hottie, but instead your average zombie slaying knitting mother of three. Yeah, it's a whole thing.
As for the baby cardigan that needs to be finished by Saturday...never-gonna-happen. I have like 100 cub scout patches to sew on.
By the way, anyone need some popcorn? You may think you don't need any, but you will need some and if you don't need any now, you will soon, and if you don't need some, you may still get some. How do I know? Because I have a whole Mazda 5 full of popcorn and if someone doesn't buy it relatives can expect it along with their handknit items this year. Or, you pick the lesser of two evils.

The NFL Meets Cascade 220 Yarn List!!!
Here it is...The List
NFL team colors, matched up with Cascade 220 yarns to the best of my ability. If you disagree, I don't care, I had fun doing this.
Hat ideas...
Stripes, Main Color and then "Go Your Team Name" in Contrast Color, again Stripes.
(This is actually done in Western Michigan University Colors-You get the gist)
Scarf ideas...
See hat ideas
Also note, I am not a fan of all 1 million teams, and I live in the Midwest, so I am not accustomed to some of the weird colors like "coral" or "teal." Things like "snow" or "blizzard" I get. These teams are marked with an *.

My Favorite Team(s)
Lions-But they are a heart break team, so with the help of Marshall (Ogre's Dad), in '99 I added
Colts
Patriots-I loved them, but now that they are big fat cheaters, I don't know. I also miss their old uniforms if I'm going to be judgmental. No, I still love them.
So, happy knitting, cheers, and good luck!
This project was able to be done due to the nice people at Stitching Memories. I would like to thank them for making this possible. I'd also like to thank them for special ordering yarn for me, and fueling my addiction, and not laughing at me.
Please keep in mind, they can special order for you too.
Also...SUPER BIG THANKS TO CASCADE!!! Thanks for having so many darn useful colors! I may be blind in one eye, but really, it was worth it.
What's my favorite cascade color? Well, I am fascinated by 9465B, aka Cleveland Browns' Orange.
I love orange, but why does Cascade have a special Orange that matches the Browns and is labeled "b?" Curious. Is there a story, are they fans, does anyone else wonder? Where is Jimmy Hoffa???
