So, I bet you're all either thrilled that I haven't written anything or wondering why I haven't written anything in a couple of days. (Two days? Oh dear goodness!)

Well, here's the thing - the Daily Planet is having a parking lot sale next weekend and I've decided to make some scarves to sell.

So while I was at the HoLo gettin' novelty yarns to scarf with, I bought this thing called the Knitwit on the ultra-cheap.

Now, the Knitwit promises quick afghans and scarves and stuff "with no knitting or crocheting!" and allegedly can make these adorable little rosettes that just pop off and can connect and all this shit.



And you can either use them to embellish your crafts or link them together to make stuff.

Anyway. I made scarf No. 8 of the week(!!!!) and I've spent all evening trying to figure out this fucking knitwit thing and I'm ready to just shove it somewhere unsavory.

Blah. This reminds me of the time I bought a $20 beading kit at wal-mart, made the ugliest necklace in the world and never beaded again.

I also bought a pompom maker. Those are fun but what in the hell do I do with little bitty pompoms?

Oh, and in other news, I've been watching Newhart reruns and boy, howdy, do I ever love this show.

Why is the Daily Planet having a parking lot sale?

Knitwit, it's name foretold the success?

It's just so the employees can get rid of their stuff in a central location that gets lots of traffic on the weekends. It's mostly a yard-sale type thing. We sell our own stuff, we make our own money.

Newhart has one of the very best all time series finales. Ever. Of ALL time. Yeah. Who's the nitwit now?

Yeah, I kinda watched Newhart backwards. I first discovered the old Bob Newhart Show from the 70s the summer in between my sixth and seventh-grade years. Newhart had its series finale when I was in seventh grade and - seriously - that was the ONLY episode I watched in its entirety! But it still just absolutely blew me away at the end. Classic. CLASSIC.

When we did scrabble wars a few months ago one of the auction items was the script from the last episode of Newhart. I can't tell you how bummed I was that I didn't have the money to bid on it.

It is a shame that the knitwit doesn't work. Those rosettes look like they would make awesome afghans. That is my life's dream: to make an afghan.
