Nice pimp hat Laurie!

Looks like so much fun! Glad you won, Miz Yarn Pimp!

You certainly make a better pimp than me!!! You kinda look like Britney spears in that last picture (that was a compliment, incase it was unclear!)

Let me rephrase- You look like Britney when she was cute!!

And I LURRRRRVE that bag!!!

heeheh fun! But what I want to know... WHERE ARE THOSE AWESOME DIA DE LOS MUERTOS BAGS FROM? Sorry for the shouting but they are just so cool and I need at least one.

Hee, hee. I'm so glad you made yourself go to the event of the season. If it makes you feel any better, I went through the SAME EXACT PROCESS.

Best Yarn Pimp costume I've ever seen. Well done.

Also, fun to see a picture of MonkeyGurrl. I'd love to see pics of all the commenters. Hey, a crazy idea just popped in my head...how about having a CAP convention???? Wouldn't that be so much fun?

LMAO !! Joo so funny !

Still have no idea how to use my flickr. Also- no idea how i added contacts, and can't figure out how to add MORE contacts!

ha ha thats funny great costumes!

Hey, CAP - http://ellenbloom.blogspot.com has more pix if you're wanting to see them.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRg.

"Crochetlien"--what a cute idea! I didn't get it until I said it out loud! DUH. That's because I'm of the knitting persuasion.

hahah. knitting persuasion. that's good!

fun pics - glad you got it together and went, I agree the hardest part is deciding to go and then walking in the door, then it is usually just fine.

Too darn bad the job is needed to stay out of the garden shack! Pretty soon you will be rich and famous instead of just famous(with us anyway!)
The kitties like your cute house, we will wait for you.

I saw the pictures of you over at Ellen's website - too cute - you definitely deserved the prize -
What a fun group - I wish I lived closer to ya'll!

fun! did your kitties dress up too?

So how does the wow authoress thing work with the real job? Did you just take a bunch of vacation time for your crazy media tour?

Y'all look like you are had a great time. Am I seeing correctly or is that a knit turkey hanging from the UFO's outfit? I have a thing about faux food. I looked on her blog but I didn't any mention of it. Any idea if there's a pattern out there?

Oh, it was so much fun! I was going nuts trying to figure out who took the photo of me holding Sam and Viv - it was Laurel! No wonder I couldn't remember her name. She just seemed like one of us.

Laurie! Is that a wig, or did you color your hair brown? It looks awesome, whether it's real or faux. But, inquiring minds want to know!

(I never could resist a cheesy rhyme.)

Whoa. Bridget and I have never met and live in different time zones, but we work on the same NASA mission and apparently we're both Crazy Aunt Purl fans! *cue spooky internet coincidence music* Love your Yarn Pimp costume!

I find myself wondering what qualifies for spooky internet coincidence music...? :-)

I really want to be your yarn whore! And...can you get the woman with the knit turkey to share that pattern??? It would be the perfect centerpiece for a vegetarian Thanksgiving!

Dude...security came?! Hurry up and caption those pics!

They are captioned. Yeah security came... the "police" dudes for the Farmer's Market hassling the knitters. Can a knitter get a break??? hehehehe

Then I made them pose with me because I am all about law enforcement.

Yarn Pimp! LOL!

Did you try the "eyeball" eggs?

I don't eat eggs... but they certainly looked scary!!

A yarn pimp? Or would that be a yarn pusher? Either way, I'm sure that look on your face is appropriate!

Is that a crocheted chicken hanging off of that costume? I want one!

Stodgy? Buttoned up? MOI? Surely you jest.

It looks like a fabulous time. Please... NO! NO SINGING! (obscure movie reference #632)

I went to a Hallowe'en party last weekend (alone, having had the same conversation with myself that you related here!). I went as Princess Grace, because (a) a good Southern girl oughta be able to rock a tiara, but particularly (b) it gave me a chance to wear my newly completed knitted stole!

Thanks for reminding me -- so many of us that we're not the only ones dealing with such Scary Things as "going to a party where we know everybody and know we're going to have a good time." I wish I knew WHY I find that scary, but there it is.

And it IS FUN once you get there!

Halloween is always so much fun...glad you had a good time. And its nice to see knitters have fun too!!

Brilliant idea for Stitch N Bitch. Sounds like a blast.

I have a quarter!

I'll take two of them there dime bags please.

Omigod! We are the yarn bitches of Crazy Aunt Purl the Yarn Pimp. Who knew?

I had already seen Ellen's pictures of the festivities before you posted these.

And a good time was had by all!
.

Hey Aunty Lady! How do I get one of then C.A.P. buttons. I have to have something to keep me going until Christmas and I finally get to open the present from my sister.

Boo-licious.

What pix of law enforcement? Is that a Flikr reference? What does that mean? Is there a link? A secret password?

Oh, yeah ... I'm all about the technology. *grin*

It's hard out there for a pimp.

That looks like so much fun! I also love the knit chicken. It just makes me happy.

Your book arrived yesterday. We had a guest and I still managed to read it all before hitting the hay. I really enjoyed it - thank you so much for putting it out there!

Don't know about the knit chicken but there is a pattern out there in the internet ether for a chicken Viking hat. It's kid-size, unfortuantely. http://alohamedia.net/sarah/hats/chicken-viking/
Love how Freddy Kruger is wearing a knitted sweater. Thematic! And we are indeed your yarn bitches. But that Allison is definitely a yarn pusher; does that make her a yarn pimp as well?

Okay, don't mean to be a pattern pimp (and CAP, feel free to delete this if you think it's inappropriate), but the chicken everyone is in love with comes from another of the WeHo SnB'ers, Lady Linoleum. It's called Turkeyzilla (or some such thing), and it's on the sidebar (or, for Bridget, the side BARRE!) http://monstercrochet.blogspot.com

Arrrrrrrrrg!!!

Laurie, You should perhaps ask your parents if Laurel is your long-lost real sister. You look so much alike.
Laurel, Laurie, Laurel, Laurie...
I think your mom gave birth to her first, then when you came along they had to let her go because your names and faces were too similar and role call just got too confusing.

A Mano! Where my DH bought me the Wonder Skein! (He came back from that trip and asked, "How much does yarn cost?" I stumbled upon the receipt months later and discovered he had paid almost $50 for a skein of handspun.)
