Alternate title: Sooner or later we all end up nailed to a fence.
Slightly better...
This is the pattern we talked about last week or something. The one with the "interesting" comments. As our darling Sarah pointed out, "With over 900 finished projects, I cannot imagine that the task is as complicated as some have tried to make it." I could not agree more.
Simple straight-forward pattern. Knit with that fancy German sock yarn. Btw, it's a colorway that does NOT want to be photographed. I don't blame it. It is not neon. It is not HOT PINK! no matter what it may look like. It's a red-ish pink with fuchsia. Like I stood a chance..
Pretty close to real color...
I understand why so many have been made over the years. I can see making another one should the need arise because it is a fun simple pattern. Great social-knitting pattern, I think.

Not so much words in the wild as words on paper towels in the kitchen, but it reminded me of my friend the garden goddess, so here we are.
Love the shawl! And the paper towels. I've never seen pretty paper towels like that here in igloo land.

Lovely scarf! And the paper towels are wise.

But two of the friends have fallen down and can't get up...
Love the shawl!

Reds always try to fool the camera, but the shawl looks great.
I have that saying on a sampler. The border is stitched with my friends names. Wise words!

Very pretty! And very bright. Wow. That brand of yarn tends to have stunning colors though.
Your paper towels are very wise. :)

Made one last year. Thinking of making another since I gave away the 1st one. I remember it being a simple quickish knit. After all it was my office waiting room knitting for a week or two. I don't remember trying to use it as my stoplight and traffic project though.

Very pretty! I'll have to investigate since I'm so good at rocking out the FOs. You've got a pretty good garden going! ;-)

And apparently our friends got drunk in the garden and fell over....but the first friend just stands over them, bragging because she didn't fall over? Or sad because she's a flower in a pot and can't help them back up? I don't get it....
Or maybe I'm just snarky.
Yes, that's probably it.

Cute shawl with an impressive wingspan. I love that hard to photo yarn, very pretty. Just the thing in August ;-)
I've stopped reading comments in many internet places. Eventually you just get Obama rants and those that say they met a rich husband - all on page with a brownie recipe. Sheesh.
