Out For Blood

  
amBITCHous

”Look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under it”

Lady MacBeth is one of the best models of hoardom ever!  She relentlessly pushed her husband to the breaking point, telling him to screw his courage…and when he couldn’t do the job, what did she do?  Why, she picked up the dagger and did it herself.   


A most ambitious hoar if ever there was one!   How sad is it, then, that she went completely batshit crazy?

Everything about this installment screams "Out for Blood!"  The yarn is Dizzy Blonde Studios Superwash Sock, 100g/560 yards in deep reds, russets and mahoganies.  

And what does any decent king-killing hoar need after a good murder?  Why, a way to wash the blood off her hands.  So we included scented soap from Villainess Soaps in "Blood".  

And all that stabbiness works up an appetite!  So the nom is a brownie bite covered in both milk and red-white chocolate. 


And to help our mean girls from going into a murderous rage of their own, we've include an onyx-and-garnet stitch marker to help keep them from losing track of their stitch count.

Haughty Hoar

lady-c-de-b

Hoity

Toity


Drowning in her own sense of superior superiority, Lady Catherine De Bourgh is December's Mean Girl.  Not only is she a rich widow (way to go!), ahem...she has social standing, a big fish in a little pond with her fingers in many pies.


She is haughty, pompous, domineering, condescending and most importantly intimidating; traits we greatly admire here in the MGYC.  And the fact that she keeps that simpering little fool, Mr. Collins on a short leash endears her to us even more. 

This installment is all about overblown English gardens and floral scented formal parlors; essentials I've always imagined as mainstays at Rosings, the primary residence of our Grand Damme.

Hell on Wheels

Road Rage!
Christine1
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!
Loot 
The yarn is Dizzy Blonde Studios, Dirty Blonde Superwash DK. That's 100g/230 yards of soft and squishy done up in flames, reds, russets and rusts, with matching bad-ass stitch marker and a hotter-than-hot cinnamon-apple nom.

Even the meanest of hoars get thirsty from time to time, and would she drink just any tea? Hell no. She'd bring her own...along with her demitasse spoon. What better way to keep it all in one place than this amazing Tea-Traveler, hand-made by my SIL, Millie?  BTW, don't let the name fool you, when she started knitting (this year), her first project was Estonian lace.  Millie is the Han Solo of Hoars...she's braver than I thought!
