Wouldn't this be a hoot!
I knit for a lot of people... my customers, my kids (not so much), and for family/Christmas presents. I have not knit myself anything for a really long time. In fact, I don't ever recall finishing a project for myself. I might have made myself one slipper sock. And a lot of good one does, right?
So when I saw the addition to the most recent edition of Knitty.com, I fell in love ... with this.
I want to knit this. What is the practicality of it? The opportunities are endless.
Wearing it to the grocery store.
Wearing it when your daughters are picked up for their first dates.
Wearing it to school to pick up the kids.
Wearing it to overnight family functions, and spending most of the day in it until it is time to "fix your hair." I SO could have embarassed the ever living crap out of my MIL at Thanksgiving had I donned this beauty.
Wearing it to drop the kids off at school.
Seriously, I am VERY close to getting the supplies for it. And you know what? I think I AM going to make this.
But I think I will make it for my aunt first.

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.
The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.
The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.
The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.
The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.
Murphy's Law doesn't even cover it
The new digs!
All I want for Christmas is a cool laptop
Take a picture; it'll last longer

OH. YES! You have to do it!! And post pictures!!
MY MOTHER used to do this to my sisters and I when we were little girls with the soft spongy ones you slept in. TORTURE INSTRUMENTS! And when you got up in the morning, half of them were out.
Too Funny. :D
OMG! Yes, that is hysterical! I love it! You must make that!
I don't knit but I bet I could pay one of the ladies at work to churn one of those out for me. Hehehe. And I'm evil enough to give it to my pretty much bald pseudo-FIL. And yes, he'd wear it!
Bwahahaha!
Janean ... I remember those and I was always (and still am) picky about how tight things had to be in my hair. I couldn't STAND those foam ones because they would not stay in my fine hair and they would loosen up, and I would FREAK out. I remember freaking about it.
Ok ... now that I admitted that, I think I will not be so freaky when my DD freaks when things don't feel right in her hair. ;)
YES! You NEED to do this. But when you post pics, you need to show the reactions on your kids' faces when you pick them up from school;)
Kelly! That would be an absolute HOOT!
I can call this Operation Embarassment.
Or Operation Observation.
Oh perfect. I have found a project.
ROFL! I can't believe someone even figured out how to make that! You have to do it and post a pic!
OMG! I would sooo wear that!
That has to be the funniest thing that I've seen in a long time.
Can't wait for you to post pictures.
That is hilarious!!! I would love to have one of those too. Maybe I will try it for my next knitting project.
Crack me up, that's hysterical! I love it!
You my friend would look fab in that! Missed you while I was gone..oh and by the way..it hit me like a ton of bricks. The last time I saw that AVON bag was at the party..it never made it to my house..
SO! Please tell dear sweet Amanda that I will be happy to pay her, no problem..I just need to know what I owe her..
Sorry to put you in the middle (again)
Playing hooky today, Matt is at a ball game and I am recovering...
:)

THAT, is hilarious!
