can i have a button even if i'm too remedial to knit fuzzy feet?

it's true, i am.

Ah. Kitschy. Probably the same types of things I refer to as "folk art."

I can't wait to get started on these. I plan on making them for everyone on the List this year. I LOVE felting!

Tanya

kendra... you may have the button of your choice :) free to a good home! And you know ... if I can attempt fuzzyfeet, anyone can. I looked at the pattern this morning and already have a question. Do I cast on to the circular needles or the dpns? I HAVE QUESTIONS BEFORE EVEN CASTING ON!!!

See what I mean about me and the remedial?

Amy -- I heart "folk art" heh heh

Tanya .. I love felting, too! It's like... a miracle. Unless you didn't mean to felt something, ahem. No comment.

FRIDAY!!!!! I am so so happy it's friday. Fuzzyfeet day. mmmmmm ... cabernet and patons up country and tivo.....

Happy Fuzzy Feet Friday!!! I'm Ms. K's polar opposite - I think I can knit the FF, but I'm too remedial to figure out how to use the buttons. :( Techno-savvy. That's *NOT* me.

Hee-hee. "The lanyard years." My Monkey's going through that stage. But you know, I just love *every* misshapen, ill-proportioned, hideously colored gift she gives me. I'm sure your mom does too!!!

Hi MonkeyGurrrl!

If you would like a button for your site and can't upload it to your own website, just copy and paste the following:

Monkey button:

I am so excited about the fuzzy feet! Felting! So fun, and more importantly forgiving! Plus, I now have an excuse to buy a set of the Addi Turbos in another size. Thanks for the excuse to visit the LYS!

Laurie - if you are using circs - cast on the the circs.

If you are going to DPN the whole way - cast on to DPNs.

Loosely and DO NOT TWIST

April

April... thank you!!!

Amy... um, I believe I have just become an enabler LOL

love the buttons! I'm going to take one just to publicize, even though I'm not doing the KAL thanks to other more tedious project for Christmas gift in the works.

I'll have to add these to my list :)

I'm heading to WEBS tomorrow morning to get yarn for Fuzzy Feet! And I'll be home in plenty of time for my Moebius Ring class at 2! LOL KNITTING ROCKS!

And thanks for the button. I'll get it on my site soon after the News Conference about the indictment of Scooter! Yeah - at least one of the government types is gettin' it!

Oh, to link the button, you have to put code around it, too. You would use code like this EXCEPT with no spaces:

</a>

I'm so in.. gonna start mine monday night, and might even make em black and orange in honor of halloween

I have the yarn and the needles but (ha) no idea who I will give these to. I went with blue yarn, with the knowledge that they will be gender neutral. That keeps my options open as to who I will foist the finished project off on. My mother is already getting a sweater for Christmas. (My first!!!)

YAY!!! I have a button WITH graphics, and it LINKS!!!! I still have no idea how or why it works, but I bow to the powers of the Mighty Aunt Purl!!!

Greeting from Arkansas. I find your website very interesting. I am grasping, or trying to find the domestic part of me--or at least a hobby. I have been tossing around the idea of knitting; and you make it sound really fun. So, thank you for inspiring me.

Yea Laurie!

I just started mine, have turned the heel, picked up the gusset and am real intimidated. Can I really do this? Can't wait to find out!

MX

MX you go go go speed racer! Ya'll are making me excited to go home and get started!

This is a cat for you--thought it might like this story

I made my first ever button for the Fuzzy Feet KAL. It's silly, but then again I like silly.

http://nextproject.typepad.com/for_my_next_project/2005/10/my_first_button.html

I'm in! Thanks Laurie.

ooh. my first knit-along. I'm so excited. I feel like, you know, a real member of the knit blogger community. Even though I'm not really a knit blogger. he he.

Next thing you know I"ll be all: SP7!!

Now, if only I could figure out how to add buttons and things to my sidebars. It don't know if it is me or blogspirit that sucks. I'm leaning toward blogspirit.

Ok, I joined the knit-a-long...thanks for another project. :) I just have to warn y'all...be careful when felting. Put the socks in a pillowcase. I made a whole bunch of purses last year and it clogged my machine. AHHHH!!! I have a new machine too. The repair guy was rather cute though and asked to see the purses that did the damage.

Yea! My first knitalong too! I am still working on socks for socktoberfest, but these qualify as socks, right? Love your blog, it's too much fun. Looking forward to November's Horrorscope!

Okay, I sm still too stupid to make the button work on my new blog, but I just finished the first feet....foot...whatever. It is waaaaaay big and I hope the felting fairies are with me when I put it in the washer.

If not a pillowcase, I read that it is a good idea to put the item you are felting in a mesh lingerie bag.

Start the next one or sleep? Hmmmm......

Me again, instead of casting on or sleeping, I managed to get the monkey button to work on the blog. Laurie, you are a genius, it certainly wasn't me!

MB

It's not a real gift if you didn't make it.

I'm knitting the fuzzy feet to go with my fuzzy lets.

;-)

All signed up, button posted, yarn picked, supplies ready... AND I CAN'T START TILL NEXT WEEK. But I will, for sure be starting these next Friday =)

Ok, this has nothing to do with the knitting and really, i am SO not picking on your spelling because, You? Genius. Me. dyslexic. and not so bright. and rarely bother to use the shift key. see???

BUT....

Laurie's Mom? Hi. Here. Have some mints. I'll sit here with bated breath while you munch them down because "Baited" breath? Ew. Worms. Or maybe you just like sushi. and that's ok. Sushi's good. i like sushi. have some gum too.

*smartass grin and hopes laurie still loves me*

heh. Nope. I meant "baited." Like, she's sitting there waiting with baited breath, which I thought was hysterically funny... you are the only one who got it though!!

See how I slip things in there real quicklike?

p.s. stephanie are you back in N.O. yet?

La Laurie!

I thought it was funny too and was afraid you'd be offended *snicker* I truly AM dyslexic and some days my own NAME doesn't look right *rolling eyes* but some words you just LEARN to spell just b/c you screw them up so many times. like untie and unite (and i HATE HATE HATE that joke btw, b/c i ALWAYS have to look at it and SPELL IT OUTLOUD to figure out which word it is)

New Orleans: UGH! that's really all I can say. *Sigh* I don't have a place to live in new orleans so i'm still living in Baton Rouge but my *J*O*B* (which should be a 4 letter word) in its infinite wisdom decided we are staying in downtown new orleans. Because we had no damage to the building. except we lost our servers and had to wait and get new ones and recover data and move it to the new servers. and you know that one office that flooded from the ceiling and now probably has mold and stuff up there. and the elevator. that flooded. and no longer works so we have the new 'Company excercise program' called 'Take the freaking stairs even if you work on the eleventymillionth floor'. and that patch of carpet they tore up for some reason that they won't talk about. and we can no longer get into the building with our card keys/pass keys and someone has to physically OPEN the door. but you know. no damage. none. the building is perfect *cough* But i love my job! Love it! that's why i'm still here! LOVE YOU JOB! Blogging from Home! pay no attention to the time stamp.

SO.. i have a nice lovely drive of about 2 hours in the morning so by the time i get to work... well. depends on the traffic. some days i'm all social and some days my co workers are afraid of me. and then in the evening, i have a lovely 2+ hours drive 'home' to get out my frustration by screaming and cursing at the other drivers :) But the valium is helping. and they won't let me have a gun. so it's pretty safe. you know, for them. But you know all about that long ass commute so i will NOT complain about the commute.
More info than you wanted?? *hahahahaha* I'm a little high strung these days. I'd drink to calm down but girl, there is just not enough wine in the world. there would suddenly be a wine shortage and then.. what would *YOU* do and then it would be all my fault and i'd feel bad. so, you know. *Hugs*

things are good. things will work out. and if you've ever visited New Orleans and thought 'oh, how pretty!' - trust me. don't come down for a while. it's hard. it's heartbreaking. one day, i'll stop crying when i drive into work. really.
it'll be ok.

love you

*hugs*
