I never thought i'd see the day when people were actually scared of a yarn. you know what i'm talking about. that's right, BRAINCHILD. it has now been sitting on the site for sale for ages. i was like, what's up with this yarn? i know it's not exactly pretty....but it has it's qualities. i mean....it IS pink. and there was a time when being pink was enough, but i guess those days are gone now. i know, i know what you're all thinking: how the hell are we supposed to knit that!? it's a tangled pile of wool covered elastic mess! well......i'm not afraid of it. i'm going to make something out of it.

A Brain Hat!
"It aint pretty....but it's somethin..."
I've always just assumed you could crochet this yarn with out stretching the elastic and make a tiny hat that would fit in your hand...then when you put it on your head it would stretch out and have a twisty look with open spots. i thought it was enough just to attempt this feat in my mind....but i guess you all need some proof. what is the world coming when you just don't take some crackpot's word for something? it's coming to a sad place. a place where crackpots have to get off their ass and prove that they're capable of what they claim. or prove that it's best to test a theory before dragging a bunch of poor knitters down to frustration-ville.

So here i go. i'm gunna make this thing into a hat. it won't be pretty. probably...it will be quite weird. but maybe if i get a super cute model to wear it it will look cute....like urban outfitters does... (hey...the flashdance shirt looked HOT on that chick! i just thought i could pull it off ok?)

BRAIN HAT:

The yarn nobody bought....can't see why....rubber homicidal maniac gloves are SO the new black.



Wrapped into a ball...ready to crochet!



My evil plans!!!!!!




OTHER MIRACLES:
I just have to report this because it's a fuckin miracle!! (sorry for language this morning guys....ran out of coffee and i may be just slightly crabby). ok- back to the miracle- we were making chocolate cake the other day and when we poured the mix into the bowl it came out as Yosemite's Halfdome!!! you can see it right???!! right there! clear as day. Halfdome in my kitchen. I'm channeling Ansel Adams or something.....only he had hike his ass up El Capitan to get this shot and I just had to buy Betty Crocker cake mix 10 for a dollar at the grocery whorehouse!
