A few nights ago, we went out to dinner with a bunch of other couples. One of the women had just learned to knit and she was telling me about her first project – a scarf. She was concerned she had done something wrong because ………. you are so going to pee your pants when you hear this…..
…………….because she had to attach another skank. :)

Heeheeheehee! I’ve some some skanks in handknit scarves, but I don’t know if I’d want to attach another one to it.
(Typepad blogs have been utterly hosed this morning. Have you noticed?)
Hi Ann, I found you through Vicki and after reading today’s post I’m glad I did. Very cute!
There’s definitely something wrong with her scarf if she needs more than one skank for it.
Thanks for the laugh I really needed it!
*spews water over keyboard*
That. Was. Funny.
How did you know I would pee my pants!!!
Does that make her a yarn ho in EVERY sense of the word?
Oh for the love of all that is holy, THAT is funny!!!! Did you keep a straight face when you answered her? Did you correct her? Or are you just letting her go on talking about all the Skanks of yarn she’s buying? :) That would be deliciously evil of you Ann…
She must be using that “floozy” yarn.
ROTFL … I am SO telling that story at knitting group today.
What? A cross between a skein and a hank is obviously a skank. I don’t see what’s so funny….
Tell her she can wind her skank on your squiff.
LOL xoxo Kay
Oh, and whaddaya call a greasy-haired street-urchin girl?
She’s a skein, of course. She’s totally skeiny.
HA! I actually *did* pee my pants. Another one of those lovely “side effects”. ;)
I’m dying laughing. Thank you.
I fortunately swallowed my beer before reading about the skanks.
Gonna make for some interesting googling, all righty.
OH NO!! Did you laugh right there in her face or were you able to hold off?? Did you correct her…I hope not – what a great mistake. No, I don’t mean that…do I?
