    Maybe it was designed for people that get cold shoulder blades, but who have over-warm bellies.

    if it had long sleeves, i totally would wear something like that all the time. but i'm not sure about the practicality of something that only warms the back of my neck.

    I'm thinking about making one with longer sleeves later this year. (worse, I was thinking about adding a hood.) I'll tell you how that goes.

    Hoods are awesome.

    Yeah, but a hood on a mini-sweater is pretty much a hat with shoulders.

    The thought just occurred to me... knitting a BONG, with a hood. I think I’ve outdone myself…

    You'd need to make it have ear-flaps as well. Just to complete the effect.

    Oh, man, I want to see somebody wear just a hood now.

    and TheMachine: ...

    I read that and imagined a hood with stupid little cat-ears. Then I got the image of some girl wearing a mini-sweater thing with long sleaves and a cat-eared hood in my head and laughed out loud which caused people to look at me funny.

    That's the scariest knitted thing I've ever seen that didn't start with a warm dickie and end with a gay pompom on top.

    Awww, what a nice little girl. What's you name little girl?
    "Bark! Bark!"
    Huh? Something is amiss here...

    OMFG. Where, WHERE did you find an example of the knitted terrormask?

    I was browsing user profiles at http://www.sitespaces.net/, and one of the user icons had someone wearing the knitted mask. One of their comments had this picture in it. I immediately thought of you and leesh.

    It still cracks me up when I look at it. :D

    It looks like a creepy fetish mask... Mr. Bungle would love these. On a separate note, if I can find a picture of it, y'all will be totally jealous. I started skiing at age 2, and by the time I was 8 I was hot sh*t. :) My mom knitted me a sweater that said "Mogul Monster" on it for me to wear skiing. I was the most bad-ass 8 year old on the slopes.

    This month's Nintendo Power had some cool knitted stuff in it, but I'm six hours away from my scanner so I can't show you.

    I saw the Nintendo power stuff. It was pretty cool, though I felt somewhat scooped. JC and I were discussing his awesome idea that someone should start a Craftster-type for game-related crafts, and Nintendo Power done beat us to all the finding.

    Nintendo Power is a surprisingly okay magazine these days. Far from the "HEY GUYS BUY FESTER'S QUEST WE GIVE IT A REVIEW OF 10/10 OR MAYBE 11 IF IT JUST MEANS YOU'LL BUY IIIIIIIIIIT" it used to be.

    Anyway, the fact that NP cares about knitting just means that our site is a really good idea.

    The knitted projects were very slick. I'll try to remember to scan them tonight. I agree on Nintendo Power becoming a much better magazine than in the past, and the crafts section in particular is a great feature I always make a point of checking out. They'll often feature NES cover bands, and with the introduction of the Wii's Internet Channel also include cool Wii-centric websites like Wiiminder and Wiicade.

    When I think of all the garbage NP influenced me into wanting, and how much money that cost my parents... I get a little sick.

    I had way more NES games than are ever necessary.

    Does Nintendo Power still make up huge screenshot-maps of entire games and call them "reviews"?

    Well, let's move off of Nintendo for a moment and over to Sony. Then let's bring knitting back into the discussion in some small manner. Then you would find yourself right around here.

    Well, it's kind of hard to knit or play video games without opposable thumbs. o_O

    pfff. not fer ninjas. ninjas can do anything, with or without utilizing some sort of opposable appendage.

    EDIT: Holy crap, that's an awesome band name. DIBS! Opposable Appendage is gonna rock yur friggin socks off!
  • JaceJace
    edited March 2007
    No, no, no, no, NOH!!!

    "Unopposable Appendages" will make a MUCH better band name.

    Thank me in the liner notes. ;)

    EDIT: Because it's hard to spell when you've been drinking.
