Praying Mantis, Knitting and Stuff

So Bob is home watching TV, and he emails me at work. He was watching a show on praying mantis and here is what he wrote:

"Oh and the mantis just had sex and she ate him alive after cause he didn't get away fast enough, hence why the male will leave the bed and not want to snuggle after sex!!"

He needs a job.


Latest Knitting:
Above: Evangeline fingerless mitts made with Fisherman's Wool that I dyed with Kool-Aid.






Thrummed mitt made with Fisherman's Wool and Louet Northern Lights roving. The picture above is the inside of the mitten. Nice and toasty warm!!


Robin's Egg Blue Hat, made with Lamb's Pride Bulky. Nice quick knit.

And here is the weather report from Michigan:We got slammed with about 8-10" of snow Friday, and another 3-5" last night. Fun.

Now a quick recipe:

Feta Spread
  • 1 block cream cheese
  • 1 container feta cheese
  • Italian seasoning, about 2 TB
  • minced garlic, about 3-4 cloves
Mix all together, spread on crackers.

The male praying mantis can't fully ejaculate with its head attached. I suppose they have mommy issues.

Love both the thrummed and fingerless mitts.

A while back you commented on the Mudflap Girl Illusion Scarf I'm working on. Didn't get your comment until now. If you shoot me an email to lycanthrophile @ imadethis.org (remove the spaces) and I'll send you some info on the pattern.
