Now I call my particular form of knitting or crotcheting .... knotcheting (pronounced noshaying). Basically, I use my knitting needles, but when I have, oh, say, 25 stitches instead of the 37 I started with, then I use my crotchet hook to create fake stitches here and there in the gaps. Conversely, when I am crotcheting and I suddenly find a big loopy thing hanging off somewhere, I grab my knitting needles and make some sort of delicate little bizarre mini doily and then tack it on to whatever I am knitting. In the end it all works out for me, however, things that should be symmetrical are not my forte...nor are things that you use a pattern on. Basically, I'm a free bird knotcheter!
Anyway, Jade found some weird velour yarn and convinced me to buy it and promise to make her a hat and scarf. Instead I made a wide headband and scarf...and my widdle doggie has kindly acquiesced to model it.
Okay, in other news, I'm still on the non-smoking bandwagon, and if Jade doesn't come by to pick up her scarf pretty darn soon, I shall be hanging from the end of it. I am using the patch...but for some reason it doesn't stick so well and sometimes falls off. I'm also supplementing the patch with nicorette which I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to do. However, I'll take my chances, I'm daring that way.Totally off topic, but I think I should name that dog. Oh and in case you can't tell how huge it is, it's almost the size of a real Saint Bernard. In fact, I'm pretty sure Jade's headband has been stretched now, hmmm there is one way to check....
I suck at photoshopping, but this still made me laugh...so what do you think, will the headband still fit?-Swapna

The photoshop picture is hilarious!
I was looking for your body really hard *grins*
Other than that, I just wanted to say... ROCK ON... Nobody should rule what we do or do not do with yarn and various sticks. (PS: It is called Crocheting. I learned that the hard way, because crotch... is a word for the female secret parts!)
Okay I am here again trying to leave a comment. Your writing is hilarious swapna .. I read the entire page. Really enjoyed it.
Hugs,

Trying again got the verification numbers wrong.
Argh this is the 3rd time im trying to leave this comment. First off, word verification is going to be turned off as soon as I can make blogger work with me. Secondly, hahahaa, thank you Knitting Keeps Me Sane! I'm still laughing over my typo. I think it came about when I was trying to decide if Knotcheting came from crotchety old women who knit badly...I dropped that idea, but apparently I didn't drop the t in crotchety:P Oh well I find it funny, just like I still say "hey anyone want pisssssgetti for lunch" and still find that hilarious. (spaghetti, in case you didnt get it)
Small things amuse my small brain!
