Speaking of Master Yoda...

Ravelry Project Page  ~ Made Public

I saw the pattern on my friends' activity page one lazy afternoon and knew I had to knit it for a friend's upcoming baby.  Said friend is a sci fi person and, therefore, this knit was a must.

This pattern takes very little yarn and the green is leftovers from another project.  The pattern has some issues, but nothing that can't be puzzled out.  I figure by the time a knitter has mastered knitting in the round, they should be pretty good at figuring out patterns on their own.  Right?

I have not yet blocked it and, frankly, I'm a little afraid to because of the superwash wool.  Superwash tends to relax and grow a bit after washing and that has me a little concerned.  I'm also not thrilled with how master Yoda's mouth and eyes turned out.  I may need to revisit his little face. 

(Btw, if this shows up at your door in the near future, please act surprised and pleased.  Also never allow anyone to get a good look at it.  If you don't, I will come over there and shake you until I feel better, and, as you may recall, it normally takes me rather a while to feel better.)

Oh, and last post title? 

I had to call our Joan for help when I arrived at Target's baby bottle department because there are a MILLION options nowadays and because, frankly, I am not a member of The Breeder Cult.  I had cats and, trust me, it's not the same thing.  At all.

Our Joan was a huge help and we kept chatting while I wandered the Target.  (I tend to make a lot of calls while wandering the Target.  Don't ask.)  She told me a funny/odd story about breast feeding that one day she will have to post somewhere.  She's the one who mentioned superwash breasts.  This is were I reminded her that I had cats and she may have hurt herself laughing.

& the other thing mentioned in that last title?  Yeah, I'm not telling you.  I'm too busy not yammering on about Bret Favre and his rather unfortunate looking penis.  (Yes, I know they can't all be pretty, but there are ways of making the non-pretty ones look better on camera.)  (/ahem)  Be thankful that I'm not one of those bloggers who publishes four posts as quickly as they can crank them out, leaving you to wade through it all while wondering why they didn't just make one big post.  If I was, today might be even weirder than it already is.  The fake holiday long weekend has really done a number on me.  Shocking, I know.

Shut up.

I love you, Cookie. You always make me laugh! Love the Yoda, BTW....

[Carole]

That is the cutest bottle cover ever! And what's up with Bret Favre these days?

[margene]

I just love Master Yoda's ears! You had a long weekend? Lucky duck. Favre? Who's that? nevermind

[Marilyn]

Yoda's a cutie! There ARE a million options in baby bottles. How ever in the world did babies from years ago survive?? ;)

Mid life crisis...gotta be what's up with Favre.

[Cindycindy]

Darling bottle warmer. Love Yoda, too. And, Favre? Thinking with his little brain, again. Hugs, hunny!!

[Cheryl S.]

How did you know I have a 4-part blog post coming up this week? You must be psychic. Or the Force is with you.

[Squishy]

Kitten is preggos?!?!?!

/runs far and fast before she catches me

[KellyS]

HA. I totally believe that Target wandering is wonderful with mobile babble. Big Fan. Ask my mom.
I just think that with blowjobs it's handy to have superwash boobs. Especially if there is a career option involved. Can't get chapped.

Ok - so first I read it as Mister Vodka and wonder about the friend's baby and then you call out our fine Canuck long weekend as a fake holiday weekend - is it you or is it me?? Oh dear!!

[Kitten]

That Yoda rocks my very socks.
There's only so much you can do with a cell phone camera. Though I am ASTOUNDED when people are surprised that this stuff gets into the media. Cuz, um, DUH.

[sil]

So cute!

At least B.F. is circumcised, though that's about the only nice thing I can say there...And now we know the camera doesn't add weight everywhere.

[Angie]

Great little Yoda!

And that is why I don't read those news stories...he did what?!

[Sarah]

I love the Yoda!

I guess I have not been paying enough attention to that Favre story, or perhaps that is for the best.

xo

[Nora]

I love Yoda very much.

And as to Brett, all I can say is that karma, she is a bitch. If he would have just retired gracefully from Da Pack when he should have, this probably would not have happened, because he'd be back in Kiln.

xxoo

[gayle]

Love the Yoda!
Favre? I think I'm happy I'm out of the news loop...

[Bullwinkle]

Yoda is just darling ... must find a baby to knit for :)

I was just over at Carole's blog - admiring JessaLu's veil - and had to come by and tell you how stunning it is. Excellent work - and you're an amazing friend to do that.

[Beverly]

WAY! too cute!

[Becky]

Yeah, cats are better than kids. With cats you can leave a big bowl of food and take off for the weekend. They frown on you doing that with kids. Cats are cheaper, too. And I'd rather clean a catbox than deal with the toxic waste that appears in diapers. Nasty!

Bret Favre's WHAT? There are pictures? Where?

[Carrie K]

I'm just hoping that your look at Bret Favre's penis was worth it.

That is a perfect baby bottle! Too bad I just have cats too.

[Squishy]

I totally can't believe Carrie didn't see the comment and come to kill me. But I guess it being her birthday and all, she's busy

[Devorah]

Adorable! I, too was just dumbfounded by the number of bottle options these days. I'm glad I'm done with that phase of my life! (And none of them compare with the super wash boobs! No sterilization needed! Tho they, too, much like super wash wool, sag and lost their shape after much use and many washings. ;-)
