Knit Wits

March 15, 2006

This may have already made the blog-ring rounds last week or month, for all that I’ve been keeping up, but THIS was quite cute.

Off to sit in front of my TiVo and knit the shawl-scarf-like thing. What does one call that? Bigger than a scarf, and lacy, but not big enough to really be called a shawl. A long rectangle, worn around the shoulders. There has to be a name, and I can’t think of it. (I’m finally using up some of the old hoarded Cascade Indulgence alpaca in cream.) Yay!

** update, added later: Yes, it’s a STOLE, as in what Lala did to my heart. (Thanks, y’all.)

    I was going to say ‘wrap’ but I think Kim is right – a stole!

    I was going to suggest either “scrawl” or “sharf”, but, yeah, “stole” would be the existing word. ๐Ÿ™‚

    That film would be even cuter if it weren’t a freakin’ ad for Edith Eig’s store.

    First I was going to be all pushing-glass-up-bridge-of-nose “Well, ack-chew-wally, the term you are looking for is ‘STOLE’ which is a derivative of the blah blah blah oppressive Trivial Pursuit nerdishness” and then I saw your update and got all warm and fuzzy.
    Though, you know, Lala could also be considered a bridewarmer. I’m just sayin’!
