Do you know about Dogs Against Romney? More importantly, do know what Mitt Romney did to his dog?

Next time I want to buy a pattern off Ravelry, someone shoot me. I'm tired of getting stuck with crappy patterns that have to be fixed. Not my job!
Should have known when the pattern in question had over 200 forum posts. That's not good for a semi-new pattern. It's one thing when it's something that has been around for ages and there's been a million alongs. Sadly, this is not the case and my mistake cost me $6. I should be grateful it was only $6 but I'm annoyed all the same.

Lookies what Rachel made me!
It's one of those triangle shaped garter stitch scarf thingies that all the cool kids have been knitting. Wait a minute and our Rachel will wander in with the details. She's good like that.
It arrived on Friday and I've been wearing it daily ever since. It goes well with a lot of the things in my closet and that's always a happy thing. Plus it's warm! That's huge because it's gotten cold here.
Okay, cold for California. Whatever.
I love it!
Thanks again, Rachel!

Thank you all so much for all the lovely birthday wishes.
While far from what I had hoped (no mail makes me cranky), it was a nice day. Three of my favorite people sang to me, I was charmed once again via text message and I woke up to emails and Twitter Machine Thingies wishing me happy.
Now if I could just find those pants...
The scarf thingie is wonderful! Great colors.
The pants are still awol? Maybe your dryer transported them to another dimension like mine does with socks... ;D

Love the colors in that scarfy thing!!

Still no pants, eh? I found my sweater in my closet on the shelf where it should be acting like it never went anywhere.
Sorry to hear about your Rav experience with a bad pattern. It's possible for anyone to publish now, and that's why I'm able to do it too. There are drawbacks.

Pretty! The colors are fabulous.

/makes mental note to have an assortment of people mail cookie random pants next year...
Some rav patterns are good!!!
That scarf thing is awesome. It has every color under the sun but is still elegant. If I tried that I would come out looking like Bozo. Or Pennywise.

Yay! Love the garter stitch thingie - great colors!
And just think, you'll have extra mail today. :-D

Yes! and the stupid dog didn't bite his bulbul off! Shame on him.
Most annoying! Maybe we should tell those who sell them that we want to return them and get our money back!
Ohhhh,,,, did I really make this thing? and gave it away too?!?
Shoot me! :)
Details you said: My take on the Different Lines in an assortment of Koigu KPPPM - you can link to my Candy project page in Ravelry if anyone wants more details or did you mean I should blog? :)

I wouldn't have voted for him anyway, but damn. Now I will rage instead. Great scarf! I love the colors.

The scarf is gorgeous. (So is your neck.)
Love the Dogs Against Romney. What an asshat.

Well damn! Sorry I missed your birthday!!! Hope it was as fabulous as you!
Also sorry about the pattern. I recently had that experience not once but TWICE!

What a sweet scarf. So lucky. Sorry that the nation conspired so that you got no mail. My kitty keeps trying to wish you well too. So, I'll do it for her. Happy kitty thoughts.

Pants are totally overrated.
Posted by: Anne | Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 02:07 PM
But the dog liked it - so he says.
Agree with you 100 percent on the pattern issue.
Love the scarf thingie. The colors, the colors! I am sure it looks beautiful on your mascara wearing self!

Total crush on Rachel Maddow here, too!
Posted by: Kim | Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 03:47 PM
I can't believe those pants haven't shown up yet! The garter stitch thingie is very cool, indeed. Rachel is fabulous!

Pretty!! Rachel did a gorgeous job.
Oh, that is a TERRIBLE thing to do to a dog! What a tool.
