    I was looking at the thumbnail pic: is this Rachel Weisz? No, too young. Emma Watson? No, too old. And I thought the fag was a lollipop.

    Since I stayed up half the knit [should say "night", but I'm leaving the typo] *actually knitting* a sweater for my mom - you know, on needles, with my hands - I say fuck you, Dr. Laura. Fuck you. Knitting a handmade gift is about love and time, feeling the rhythm of the needles as the stitches stack up, one by one, thinking about the recipient and how she/he will wear your gift, and turning a mass of string into a garment with nothing but your hands and some sticks. Never mind how much a knitting machine like that would cost, to me it misses the entire point. It's like you want the praise for making handmade gifts, but can't be arsed to actually put in the time.

    If you will excuse me, I need to rip back about 3" of knitting and redo the heel on the socks I'm making for my boyfriend. In black fingering-weight yarn. On size 1 needles made out of dark lacquered wood. For size 10 1/2 feet. Because I love him.

    If you have a machine that does it for you, does it really count as knitting?

    I thought the only think she knit was her brows at the single mothers.

    A scene from my living room about a minute ago

    Me:Ugh. Dr. Laura.
    Mr: Where?
    Me: Jezebel. She's knitting or some shit.
    Mr: *intoning* I've seen her naaaaaaaaaaaaaaked.
    Me: What?!
    Mr: Apparently she took some nude pictures in her 20s when she was a little more liberal that resurfaced a while ago. The irony is gorgeous.
    Me: *furiously googling* Hnh. Well whaddaya know.
