Me: What size knitting needles should I buy?
Me: Helllloooooo?
Me: Why are you not sitting around just waiting for me to text you so you can answer me back with these all important questions?
Twenty minutes later:
Her: NOT wee skinny ones. Helpful, yes?
Me: Too late I already bought some.
Her: What size did you get?
Me: 8 or 9 or something or other?
Me: More important: They are bamboo!
Her: I have bamboo needle — LOVE them.
Me: And I got this really soft organic cotton hand dyed “wool”
Her: Ooooooh, what are you going to make?
Me: I have to decide in advance?
Her: Uh, that is usually how it works.
Me: A square?
Her: Potholder.
Me: Hahahaha.
Me: It will be fine as long as I don’t try to pick up anything hot
Her: Right
Me: Or reach into the oven and catch it on fire.
Her: Washcloth
Me: My hand knit organic cotton washcloth
Me: I think that would make me an asshole
Her: You can feel all superior when you wash your face
Me: And you know I would
Her: It can be your lovey like babies have
Me: Oh I can use a lovey
Me: ooooooh, I know. A vibrator cozy.
Her: Hahahaha, perfect.
Me: THAT would make me feel superior.
Her: The gold and diamond encrusted vibe* needs a cozy
Me: Yes, yes it does. It DESERVES one
Me: As do I.
Me: I don’t think everyone has a handknit organic cotton vibe cozy
Her: Hahahahaha
Me: It would satisfy me in so many ways Her: You could certainly feel superior about that
Me: You know I am blogging this
Me: I think all my friends and neighbors need to know about my handknit organic cotton vibe cozy
Me: A little window into my world
