Haughty Hoar

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. 

The complete "Hoity Toity" package 

Yarn, Nom, Extra & Insert Card w/ Stitch Marker

Purples, lavenders, browns and tans in DBS Superwash sock 400 g/570 yd

4 ounce tin of scented SOY candle in "Lavender Dawn"

Champagne flavored hand-made nom with special green twisty-tie

So be the De Bourgh and embrace your inner snob... 


...go Bitch or go home.

Hell on Wheels

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/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!

 

What if tea's not your thing? Well, too bad...

...or...You can always turn yours into a Knit Knotions Kneeper 

(Silent "K", Silent "K", Silent "N").

The Crux of the Matter

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 powerful wizard of his time while carrying a piece of his twisted soul is just downright sinister. BTW, I guess I should have said SPOILER ALERT! to that last part, but I'm mean too, so deal with it.

So, for all you unlucky enough to not be in the MGYC, here's what you missed out on for the August installment:

 First up is 550 yards of Dizzy Blonde Studios (Etsy store to be reopening soon.  I recommend you bookmark it) Superwash Sock, done in various shades and hues of olive and moss.  Here's a closer look:


 
A homemade nom from the kitchens of the HHiC herself.  She's calling it "Butterbeer" even though they taste suspiciously like butter rum.

 There was a stick perfume in "Poison Apple" fragrance and a "poison pen" also courtesy of Dizzy Blonde Studios, and an equally venomous stitch marker rounds out the installment.










Sssssee you sssssoon!
