Oh my. Thank you all for entertaining me for the next couple of days. I thought I knew ALL the knitting web sites and all the patterns for knitting ridiculous things like teacups. Now my eyes are open. Also, I can shove this in my husband’s face just to show him that there are people who do stranger things with yarn than I do. Just because I have a closet full of it doesn’t make me “weird.” ---
