Grudge Much?

Who are they to criticize? They who are so afraid of individuality that the only way to tell them apart is by the colors they wear! How DARE they mock me! It’s their own fault, you know. If they weren’t so boring, so namby pamby…so meh, I wouldn’t have to bring my spinning wheel with me to their sucky parties! I’ll show them Diablo. I’ll show them all! Rue, I say! Mwahahahahahhahahaaa!




Ms. Meanie, December,Maleficent, is one Mean Girl we fiber freaks can get behind. Using a spinning wheel to exact her revenge...brilliant! I guess those 3 little goody-two-shoes should have made sure she was invited to the party, huh? And with that preamble, I give you...

Aurora’s HOARealis

560 yards light-fingering 100% Merino goodness;

Chocolate nom hand made at Casa de La (aka my kitchen)

The whole packages was further enhanced by an awesome cupcake of super-exclusive perfume oil from Happy Housewife Soaps and Sundries, custom-blended by none other than Ms. Violet herself. (yes, I kept the extras...what of it?).

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't WAIT to see what February will bring. Oh, wait. It IS February...

WHERE'S MY YARN?!?!

Hoar on a Half Shell

"Shellfish Bitch"

And, DAMN, if our Mean Girl-October certainly was one! First, she steals the girl's voice, then she uses it to move in on the girl's man. And what's more, Ursula couldn't give a rat's ass about the girl. oh no. She had bigger fish to fry...(pun intended so deal)...It was all about getting back at Daddy Dearest. How wonderfully wicked is that? Almost as wicked as...

In our October installment our members received. 440 glorious yards House of Awesome's AweseomeSock in the Shellfish Bitch colorway, another one of hsulli's remarkable homemade noms, either in the shape of a crab or a shark...a perfect representation for both the month's theme, and the 2 wicked women who are heading up this club. In addition, they received a sample bar of Turtle Cove Farms' Matsu Salt Scrub, a dragon stitch marker (???) and a wickedly kitschy arts & crafts Ursula fridge magnet, courtesy of MiniPurlz

So...who's next? Well, our club members already know since I've taken my damned sweet time posting this, and it's well past December.

Heartless Tart

Do you play...croquet?

Get to the part where I lose my temper!

OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!

Is it a wonder all her subjects run and hide at her approach? It's a good thing her distinct shrill announces her a full 5 minutes prior to her arrival! She's been called a fat, pompous, bad tempered old tyrant and by a little snot-nosed, doe-eyed, blonde snip of a girl, no less! But us Mean Girls know that she's just a bit misunderstood. You'd be in a persistent bad mood too, wouldn't you? Wonderland my ass!

And so it goes with the August installment of the Mean Girls Yarn Club. Yeah, I know this post is coming WAAAAY late. So what? It's my blog, and if I wanna be late, I'll damned well be late! Lazy? Who said that??? OFF WITH HER HEAD!!! Oh...

Anyway...

August's installment was brought to you by the brilliant, talented and most awesome dyers at Dizzy Blonde Studios...ahem...wha? and the Queen of Hearts in all her primary glory:

Also in this installment was my first attempt at making something nomably heart-shaped out of sugar, with varying success. Blast you cursed sun and heat and unforseen meltiness of not-quite-cooked-long-enough sugar!!! When made, they looked awesome, but it went out with a disclaimer stating that one should not clamp both sets of teeth around it at the same time, unless they WANTED their jaw glued shut for several hours. Back to the drawing board for this amateur candy-maker!

But best of all, the "something extra" included the brilliant awesomeness that are 5ElementKnitr, clever inventions: the Stitch Savers customized just for the MGYC! Some of us lucky hoars *COUGHknottyandsharkyCOUGH* got a second, personalized one. And let me tell you, you definitely need more than one, especially us project floozies, who MUST have every knitting bag filled with some knit project or another. To be safe, you should have one of these little miracles in each of your knitting bags. So if the MGYC stitch save is the only one you've got, better rush your ass on over to her etsy store and order up a few more!

Stay tuned! Maybe I'll get to posting about October's installment come New Years!
