As a climber, the idea of knitting with friends is very amusing....

When can we see pictures of your Klien bottle hat? Or was that Puck...?

That was me, and soon! I took some pictures, but I'm not pleased with how they came out and I want to do some new ones with the hat, the scarf, and my glass Klein bottle all in one.

Can I unravel a couple I don't use any more? Recycling and all that?

Sure, just make sure to wind them up into a ball so they don't get tangled.

Alright, here's a picture of the Klein bottle hat. (I gave up on trying to get the scarf and glass Klein bottle into the same picture.)

Some nice pictures. :P

The hat looks pretty cool. It is a hat we can all wear at once! And you do not really have to put it on! Awesome...

Exactly, so if I forget it in my room on the day of a huge snowstorm, I can still keep warm! (I did that at one point, only without the keeping warm part.)

It appears I now have a commission to do another one for a professor, which is very exciting!

Ah my friend, you must partake of the pinkness that is Legally Blonde II! With the snap cup, it is a suggestion for a circle time activity to do with the class, everyone writes something nice about someone or someone does something well and it goes into the snap cup, then the snap cup matser picks the notes out, reads them and everyone snaps their fingers for the subject of the note!
Very cute, pink and fluffy!

You know, I loved Legally Blonde, but now they're making a Broadway musical of it, so I've decided to boycott the whole thing.

I haven't seen any of them, although I do have a legally blonde t-shirt that was a gift from an old housemate (who was promoting the second movie).

It's actually a very comfy t-shirt, but I wouldn't be caught with Dumb Blonde written across my chest in public! It's strictly 'in studio' wear.

Ah yes, I am brunette but by majority vote of my aquaintances I am actually blonde! I didn't know they were making a musical - thats a bit odd!

lol, I dye my hair, so I can't be accused of blondeness. But tell me, WHY a musical? I thought they only did that with Disney movies...

Only Disney movies?
Loved the Disney Lord of the Rings, did you?

Yep - I loved the Disney Lord of the Rings! and the Disney Holy Grail, not to mention the Disney Acorn Antiques not to mention the Disney Lion King... wait that IS Disney... I am sure that all films can somehow be traced back to Disney in some way, bit like the degrees of seperation mentioned a couple of months ago.

The High School Musical musical is coming to Edinburgh <shudders> I do like the musical of Beauty and the Beast tho, I think I will probably go and see that in the summer.
