It is done! Behold, the Wee One's Yuletide Stocking:
I like it better now that it's finished and hanging by our fireplace, ready for the holidays to get started. I mean, why pack it away now, we'll be putting up the holiday decor in a couple of weeks? Still needs a washing and blocking though.
Now I'm back to working on the Red Sweater for the Wee. It's honestly a boring knit for me after all that stranded colorwork. I can't say I even worked a stitch on it in two days' time now. Could mean trouble...
Ok now for a pop quiz. You are shopping in a small-aisled grocery store called Complete Edibles. You come upon an aisle where a stunning woman is making her canned pumpkin selection and her cart, with the most beautiful wee one in all the land, is in your way. What do you do?
A. Wait a moment patiently behind her as she finishes. Hey, you're retired and have all day...
B. Say, "Excuse me" and allow her to move her cart out of your way. Hey, you're retired and need to make up for lost years...
C. Push her cart with her baby in it aside, scraping your cart into it in doing so and say absolutely nothing. Hey, you're retired and a big, mean, rude-a-potamous and eat cute babies for dinner.
Yeah, that's right. I went to the store for some foodstuffs and came out again appalled at the minds of people. Who moves your cart with your baby in it and says not a word? You can bet I said a few things. I really need to do the whole on-line food ordering. It could also help me avoid the H1N1...

People are so rude. No one has the right to treat you or your beautiful baby that way. What a shame that people feel they have some kind of right because they have been on this planet a few more years than you.
Hope they did't scare the little one.
The stocking is absolutely gorgeous! Definitely stay away from the rude-opotamus!
I love the stocking...it is so cute!
yeah...i'm always surprised at the heights of rudeness to which people seem to aspire. when someone is rude to me, i try to be extremely, sarcastically nice to them and as i walk away i call them several rude names under my breath :)
It would be so much easier if the rude-a-potamus had a distinctive marking so they could be avoided, like a large set of tusks protruding from their mouths...but alas, they are skilled at blending in. Thanks for listening yet again!!!
