What Would You Do With a Unicorn?

By -

So Threebagsfull has many many mini skeins of madeline tosh unicorn.  5 bucks a skein.   I was drawn to them. Upon further thought, however, I hate weaving in ends....so I doubt I'd knit much with these.  
For those of you who haven't seen Unicorn Tails, beware they are enticing.  

You know I love all things Halloween.
My celtic roots began the whole thing hundreds of years ago.
I must watch YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN each season. 
I love Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin.
I have two black cats and plan to have many more. 

Would you unicorn? 
Do you Halloween?

I've never been much for Halloween, but I do like singing the Charlie Brown Pumpkin Carols.

The unicorn tails do sound enticing. . .

This is my absolute favorite time of the year. I think my love of it goes back to my Mexican Day of the Dead heritage as well.

You know I don't do Halloween but it's there and must be dealt with so I try to get with the program. In good humor. I would love to have a unicorn! I think that horn would be useful around some of my more difficult clients. One just left so I'm thinking of all the possibilities. Hmmmmm.

Not much for unicorns, but I definitely do Halloween --- I'm even knitting some pumpkin socks.

Those mini-skeins are pretty colors. I can see why they drew you in.

Haven't done unicorns but would love to see a real one! ;>) These days Halloween is with the grand kids but used to make lots of costumes in days gone by.

Love, love, love Halloween. Always have. It's my favorite holiday but I'm sad that the trick or treaters have disappeared. How awful it must be to be a kid growing up in a world where streets and treats aren't safe anymore.
Unicorns remind me of rainbows. I don't know why-but I love rainbows so I must love unicorns although I have never met one.

I haven't been in a yarn shop lately, so I don't know the hip trends... and hopefully I can stay that way while I pare down my stash! But that Unicorn yarn looks so nice... n__n

Unicorn = mini skein? Got nuthin'.

Love all things Celtic, pumpkin, dress-up and a masquerade, even bobbing for apples, but I don't like Halloween. Like saints and the idea that my departed relatives are looking out for me ... but you can have all of my candy corn.

Hi Kathy, those unicorn skeins look interesting, I love these shades. They might be useful for adding some skinny stripes to a larger project perhaps, every now and then?! If they are very soft, I would crochet myself a necklace with them! :)
Have a good week!

Ya know, I've never cared for Halloween, even as a child. My daughter LOVES it, my son HATES it.

Oh, mini-skeins, how I love them. . .

Halloween is my favorite holiday, and Mr. 20's birthday. It explains a lot about his personality, sweet and sometimes scary.
Hugs,

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...
