The Happy Meal TOY?

By -


Did you want the McBarbie Doll or the McYarn? Today's guest blogger is from my local McDonald's. There was a long line behind me, so he quickly complied.

The yarn is a lovely purple green mohair from Al's July swap partner Mo. She is also a jewelery designer. I need to post her blog name for you all. She sent Al some lovely bracelets.

I'm trying for the big 500 tomorrow. Thanks to all who have entered the contest. JILL, Al's buddy, I'm waiting for you, you lurker you.
Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

Oh, that is too funny! I think that if I asked the kids at my local McDonald's to hold some yarn so I could photgraph them, they'd probably shut the drive through window and turn off the lights! Hooray for your McD guy and his sense of fun! Of course, if he really is giving out yarn, you are obligated to post the location of that McDonald's so that we can all plan road trips. ;-)

I know I've said it before, but it stands repeating - I love love love your guest bloggers!!! I can't believe you got the McDonalds drive-thru guy to pose with yarn even when a long line was behind you!!! LOL

When I worked at McD's many years ago (for 7 years), I am not sure I would have wanted my photo on a blog! Horrible visor hair & no make up.

Love the yarn.

I want *That* in my happy meal, please!! Man, remember when there were the crazies trying to get the beanie baby toys at McD's? Can you imagine the wildness should they start offering nifty yarn with their meals?? I'd be there! I might only miss 5 out of 100 days. (just had to throw that in!!LOL!)

You're brave. I would have never asked my mcd's guy to pose with my yarn. :)

This is so funny!! I can just imagine what he's thinking....."you're kidding, right?!" Or maybe, "Do you want yarn with those fries?"

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
