Some people fiddle while their city crashes and burns.

I crochet.

Now you root for the Orioles! :D

Your wrap is awesome. In fact, if I paid you for the time/yarn, would you be willing to crochet a hat for me?

[tears_of_nienna]

Yes, I will make you a hat! In fact, I will make THREE hats, because the first one inevitably comes out doll-sized and the second one would only fit a grizzly bear. The third one should be person-sized, though. :P

Sooo...what kind of hat would you like? Do you have a pattern in mind? Also, what color(s)? :D

[vilify]

I do indeed! This hat has got me hooked (no pun intended) ;D As for colors, cream or very pale, pastel yellow is my favorite. Thank you so much! Do you have Paypal? Or, I could pay you in goods (I've payed a jewelery maker by sending her books for example)?

Oooh! That hat looks AWESOME, and I can't wait to try it out. I have to translate it from UK to US crochet (UK crochet uses silly terms!), but it looks pretty self-explanatory. The top is even kind of similar to the one I just made!

As for money...I really do this stuff because I enjoy it, and also I know you and I like you lots. If you want to donate a couple of bucks to a charity you like, then that would make me perfectly happy. :)

WRAP SO PRETTY OMG.

Now the question is, who do I root for now that the Reds are out?

Answer: there is no baseball season once the Reds are out. XD

I was thinking about rooting for the Braves, since my grandmother loved them, but it doesn't look so good for them tonight.

I'm still proud of our boys, though. This was just a trial run for 2011... :)

Oooh, phrasal verb. I really should have taken more linguistics classes; I love this stuff.

[othergoose]

Wow, that is beautiful! :D

[tears_of_nienna]

Thanks! I am in love with the pattern--the best $3 I've spent in a long time. :)
