Road Rage! Nothing short of demonic possession is evil enough to turn a classic beauty such as Christine into a Mean Girl worthy of this club! Lucky for us, Stephen King is just twisted enough to give her to us, so Christine is the inspiration for October's MGYC installment of all things fire-ragey and HOARifying!   The yarn is Dizzy Blonde Studios, Dirty Blonde Superwash DK. That's 100g

Is there any hoar in the Wizarding World meaner than Nagini? Sure, you've got Professor Umbridge and Belatrix LeStrange, one's a major control freak who doesn't like children and the other is just batshit crazy, (who, I suspect likes children, but only served with a nice Chianti). But a snake that invades your dreams, turning them into nightmares? One who does the bidding of the most evilly

She was known by many names: Morgana, Morgan le Fay (of the fairies), Morgaine, just to name a few.  In the movie, Excalibur, we see her as a woman of boundless ambition and beauty whose knowledge and skills in earthly magics almost rival those of her mentor, Merlin.  So basically, right up our Mean Girl alley!

I know that many of you are practicing your clicky skills in anticipation of the next round of sign-ups, and that Tareshen was being an evil hoar by not giving you all an exact date...just as she should have.  Well, we now have a date: June 17, 2011 Know it...Live it...Breathe it, and mark your calendars cuz I don't want to hear any bitching that you didn't get in because you didn't know.

So, the next and final installment of Mean Girls' Yarn Club Episode 2:  Mean Girls Strike Back, is about ready to ship, and I know some of you are looking to the future.  The question "Will there be a Mean Girls Ep. 3?" is the one I hear most often.  Well, that's a lie.  The one I actually hear most often is "Where's my damn yarn, hoar?"  but coming in a close second is "Will there be a MGYC Ep.

In true Mean Girl fashion, I went old-school on all y'all, and found a truly tyrannical 80s style Mean Girl for this installment. Hell, some of you weren't even born yet, and probably most of you were still in diapers when Willow made it's theatrical debut in 1988. Ah!!!!! The gold old days...of course, I wasn't much older than most of you, I've just got one hell of a memory...ahem. Anyway..

No Movie Witch-themed yarn club would be complete without one of the numerous mean girls from Harry Potter. With so many baddies to choose from, how can you pick just one? Easy...pick the meanest of the mean. Yup, you guessed it! January's mean girl is none other than...Dolores Umbridge::shudder::Yikes, just typing her name gives me the willies!

Winnifred, Sarah & Mary aren't evil, they were just cast in a bad light. Who among us hasn't (from time to time) wanted to seal mens' mouths shut just to stem the flow of vitriol that spews forth from them? How many times have we wished it

She doesn't have a name and that makes her a sad MeanGirl Mascot. As you should know, sad MeanGirl Mascots are unstable MeanGirl Mascots and they might do things like eat yarn. What? It could happen.

What better mean girl to showcase in hot sticky oppressive July than an Ice Queen? And OMG, is Jadis a mean one! Terrorizing children and little furry woodland creatures and crucifying tricking the beautiful kitty into sacrificing himself to save a snot-nosed brat. (Well, it was his own damned fault! Cats are supposed to be the minion, not the opposition!) Yup, she's our kind of girl alright!

Because it's like.......... mid-July and I don't have any damn yarn. So, in order to head off 'Famous Indie Dyer Found Face Down in Own Dye Pots", can one of you hoars shoot me the phone number for LaLand Police Department so they can stop by and do a wellness check? I have it on good authority, though, that shipments will be going out the first of next week. Thus, back outside for mailbox duty

Suggestions like "you will fear your sister and do her bidding" "you will worship your sister and cater to her every whim" "Speed Racer sucks. You would rather watch Little House on the Prairie because they named the lead character after your sister" and "you
