My forum for all things stitch (knitting, sewing, embroidery) and occasional snarky comments about politics or my research. Sometimes photos of my favorite little beasts even sneak in.
I am a feminist crafter who loves political wonks and a good bagel. I spend a lot of time making lists and counting stitches.

i really wish something wierd and funny has happened to my knitting, but nothing yet..its only been 9 months since i started! well, i have to fish point protectors out of a toddlers mouth on a daily basis.... not a reviting story by any means:)
okay, amanda, since I don't have time to enter your contest, I am going to give you my best story here. I came home to find a scarf I was making out of kidsilk haze on the floor. I had left it on the dining room table and the cats got to it. They had pulled it off the table and proceeded to wind the yarn around and around the dining room table legs. I came home from work to find yarn (from the ball and pulled from the scarf) wrapped around and around approximately 70 times. I so diligently unwound the yarn and put it back into a ball and then reknit the entire thing :) Its not that great of a story, but I am sure you will appreciate it! Happy knits hun!
I had to pull several yard-long strands out of my dog's butt once, with a bag on my hand of course(I'm sure you've been there...um, right?). On a busy street. Soph's generally afraid of her poop, but this was too much. She was jumping around,probably thinking, "get it out, get it out." Embarrassing.
That's not really "saving" my knitting though, is it? I, needless to say, did not use that yarn.
Is it a golden thing? Yuck Mouth is really afraid of his poop, too. As well he should be, given some of the things he's ingested!
She's still young, right? It gets a little better...
