Knitter's Amnesia

The Scene: A knitter is in the process of grafting the sleeves of her almost completed sweater. The air is thick with tension.

The Knitter: (mumbling under her breath) knit off, knit on....or no, is it purl off, knit on?!? Sh*t! 

The Kid: Mommy! You shouldn't swear at your knitting. 

The Knitter: (looking guilty) You must have heard me wrong. I said knit, not sh*t! 

The Kid: See! You said it again! Now I get to wash your mouth out with soap! 

The Knitter: D*mn. 

And so presenting the first in a series of Knitter's Amnesia Coffee Mugs: 





Guaranteed to get me through the Kitchener well caffeinated and without a speck of soap in my mouth.

  2. Ha! I *still* have to watch the beginning of a kitchener video on youtube every. single. time. I need to graft something. The mug is an excellent idea, and much better than tattooing it on your forearm. :)

  3. I'm with Paula, and I still watch the start of a video each time I graft! I also tend to curse at my knitting, it cracks my husband up.

  5. What a great post, you really made me smile. Love the mugs. My husband ignores me now when I'm working on a project as he's fed up of thinking I'm talking to him when I'm usually talking to the yarn.

  9. great mug!!!!! after knitting two drawers-full of socks over the years, I think I sort of have a version of kitchener down pat; i have a weird start according to some knitting friends, but the results work for me!! and I'm an old dog, and you're not going to teach me a new trick!!!
