Brace yourself

Rumor has it this is occasionally a knitting blog. That being the case I figured I might show some actual knitting content. This was a gift for my friend Kristen's bachlorette party in January. What do you give someone for an adult toy party? Well an adult toy cozy of course! You may want to avert the eyes of any small children in the room!




Turns out this is a pretty good use of leftover sock yarn. Several people suggested I might want to try and sell these - maybe I'll look into it!

St. Brigid's Day

Technically I am a day behind since yesterday was actually the Blogger's Silent Poetry Reading in honor of St. Brigid's Day. Well figuring better late than never ....

Siren Song by Margaret Atwood

This is the one song everyone
would like to learn: the song
that is irresistible:

the song that forces men
to leap overboard in squadrons
even though they see beached skulls

the song nobody knows
because anyone who had heard it
is dead, and the others can’t remember.
Shall I tell you the secret
and if I do, will you get me
out of this bird suit?
I don’t enjoy it here
squatting on this island
looking picturesque and mythical
with these two feathery maniacs,
I don’t enjoy singing
this trio, fatal and valuable.

I will tell the secret to you,
to you, only to you.
Come closer. This song

is a cry for help: Help me!
Only you, only you can,
you are unique

at last. Alas
it is a boring song
but it works every time.
