2KCBWDAY5 And now for something completely different: A Day in the Life of Dustbunnies

Hey Devon, here she comes, quick, hide, hissed Dustin. 
Oh don't be such a scaredy bunny, Dustin, said Devon, she's just bending over to pick up her knitting, she isn't lookin' for DUST BUNNIES.  You know she started that new sweater pattern last week and she hasn't had time to do housework since.  She has been knitting furiously on it so she can get it done and wear it for Easter with her favorite skirt.


Yeah I guess your right, said Dustin, she will do just about anything to avoid house work anyway.  I once heard her say that she stores the vacuum cleaner in back of her yarn stash so that if she ever does get the urge to clean she will see all her pretty yarn and forget all about vacuuming.  The only time we have to worry is if the little dog's ball rolls under here and she comes looking for it or if the grand kids come to visit, then she will drag out the vacuum and the dust rag so no one will know how much she knits instead of cleans.

Devon, did you see how much she has gotten done on that sweater, asked Dustin? It is growing by leaps and bounds.  I really love that pattern she is using.  I was looking at the paper on the floor last night and it said it was a wildflower knot stitch. 


The pattern is In the Green from the July 2008 issue of Creative Knitting Magazine.
Oh I really like the yarn she is using, said Devon.  It is that Simply Soft yarn by Caron in a really pretty soft green color.  I heard her say she thought it would really go slow because it is worked on #5 needles and that she thought that new wildflower knot stitch would slow her down but it looks like she is making great progress to me.

You know Dustin, said Devon, we may have something else to worry about other than being sucked up in the vacuum tube.  What's that, asked Dustin?  Devon said, what if she gets a crazy notion that she wants to start spinning her own yarn and tries to turn us into roving and spin us into yarn?????  YIKES IS THAT POSSIBLE?????
