Comic relief



From xkcd, a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.

I have also been reading Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's Knitting Rules, which I am finding hilarious. The Yarn Harlot really is a fantastically funny woman. I am especially loving the lists. Lists of why to knit socks.. and why not to. It also has some really nifty tips, which I am already incorporating into my knitting. Figuring out head size and other sizing based on other body parts... useful. While reading bits of it to my boyfriend in the car (he is in fact a saint who lets me read aloud from my knitting books!), we got into a discussion of how I cannot knit him a sweater. I've already fallen prey to the curse before. I noted that it didn't matter, since he doesn't wear ANYTHING handknit anyways.

Then we both came to a beautiful realization. I can knit him a Jayne Hat. We are both Browncoats, after all. Guess what I'll be starting, as soon as I manage to find goldenrod, orange, and burnt umber colored yarn...

if you can read knitting books to the guy, he's a keeper. But do not knit him a sweater.
