Mean Girls on Lime & Violet Live!

Okay, this is a call-out to all you industrious hoars who've actually knitted stuff with your MGYC yarn, instead of just HOARding it to roll around in nekkid.

Thanks to MissLime & MissViolet, you not only can catch me pimping my yarns & designs this Wednesday, 7:30 EDT at the Facebook virtual stitch & bitch over at Lime & Violet Live, but you can help me LOADS by showing off the GORGEOUS things you've made from the MGYC yarn. The theme of this S&B is "Lace" so your amazing shawls would fit into the theme perfectly! (Yes, I'm looking at you Kim)

To strut your stuff all you need is a facebook account, webcam, microphone, and a little intestinal fortitude. (Mine comes in the form of a margarita). If you just want to watch, and I know some of you are into that sort of thing, you can still lurk. There's a chatroom feature where you can heckle me all you want.

In any case, it should prove to be lots of fun for everyone, so come on out!

Cats-Eye View

Lucifer’s Mistress

Evil, like beauty (but much more interesting), is in the eye of the beholder. And if the “beholder” isn’t seeing things correctly, one can always poke them in the eye to help improve their vision. My mistress, Lady Tremaine is lucky to have me around for just such occasions. In addition I assist her in keeping that slacker, Cinderella in line…
SO lucky!
Behind every successful Mean Girl there’s a devoted minion!

And who is more devoted than me, Lucifer? Menacer of Mice; Harasser of Hounds; Badgerer of the Beleagured! No one I tell you. I insisted on these colors myself. The shades of gray perfectly match, not only Lady Tremaine's glorious hair, but also the wonderful stone coldness of her heart, while the blues and jades match her gown and jewels which compliment her grayness impeccably. The cool tones perfectly capture my mistress' wonderfully icy demeanor.

Loot of Lucifer's Mistress

Included with the generous 560yd./115g. skein of fingering weight sock yarn, was a wonderfully smelling handmade stash sachet (or "Stashet" as I like to call them) made of cloves & cedar by Aimee of Fairie Knits. Pssssshhhht. Looks to me more like a little packet of heaven in the form of catnip. If only I could get my claws into it to find out.

And finally a poured-sugar "glass" slipper. KnottyLa, who made the candy, informs me that it was champagne flavored. Whyever would she include candy in the shape of the object of my mistress's downfall, I'll never know. I guess she's a mean girl too.

And Apple a Day...

...just might kill that snotty little twit!


What's a girl to do when she's no longer the fairest in the land?
She sends out a hunter to bring that little bitch's heart back to her in a box! Mean Girl behavior? Yes, but if she ends up the fairest in the land afterward; it's worth the effort!
Make the effort, be the prettiest!

And, damn, but the girls at House of Awesome and Alpha B Yarn certainly embraced Her Evilness' philosophy for the February installment! Yes you read that right, we had the honor of 2 dyers this time around. Sweeeet! Check it out!

Heart In A Box
(in 2 acts)

Act 1: Alpha B Yarn: Shifting from red to russet to a wonderfully rich brown with an added surprise! Bits of green. Pictured here with the delicious apple nom, key stitch marker and a meanie button made by the most awesome Elabeth <---(Ravelry, Facebook, Twitter & Plurk name). Wanna know even more about her? You can read her blog.

Act 2: House of Awesome: A lovely tonal shift from bright red through deep russet to rich brown. I can't decide which is my favorite, so I think I'd want them both! Of course, I'm a greedy hoar, so I'm sure no one's surprised by that.

In addition, Sharky (House of Awesome) has promised us something that she won't name, but that it rhymes with "Tree Slattern". I wonder what could that be.



So, we have one more installment to go, and then Mean Girls Yarn Club, The Maiden Voyage will come to an end. Not to worry...shortly thereafter, I will give details on the Mean Girls' Yarn Club, part Deux. Or perhaps I'm just teasing you. After all, I'm not only a Mean Girl...I'm the Head Bitch In Charge. Guess you'll just have to pay attention to find out!
