Wild and Wacky Knitting
Today is Witty Wednesday...
Today, we're concentrating on witty, wild, and wacky knitting in honor of Witty Wednesday. In today's newsletter, you'll find everything from fun and cute baby items like Monster pants to the completely wacky idea of knitting with Ramen noodles. You'll get a kick out of both of these ideas.
You'll also get a kick out of this funny, but true, story found on the Basic Jokes site.
"Many years ago, my wife was to knitting what Tiger Woods is to golf. She designed exotic patterns with ease.
There was an occasion when we had lunch in a real Chinese restaurant (only one person spoke partial English, all menus were in Chinese). When she saw the hand-written menu she was so impressed with the calligraphy she tucked the menu in her purse. Some months later I saw the result, a stunning white sweater with the Chinese symbols hand-stitched down the front.
She received compliments galore until one cocktail party when we met a distinguished Chinese physician who asked my wife where she got the symbols. He then wanted to know if she knew what they meant.
"I'm afraid to ask," she said, "but tell me anyway."
Even she had to laugh when he told her they read, 'This is a cheap dish--but good.'"
