Kitty Hat in Laundryville
Who's tired of seeing my bathroom in pictures? Me! So I had the pants take a picture of me in the laundry room. Energy saver? Why yes I am.
I knit the kittyville hat for my niece. The hat pattern can be found in Stitch and Bitch (don't sue me!) Nation. I made the hat with lionbrand wool ease and size 8 32-inch circular addi turbos. I didn't have to switch to dpns at all except to knit the icord. This is a super fast knit and comes out really cute. I may have to make myself one in black.
Of course, I've finished this knit for my niece just about when it's too warm to wear a hat. Hopefully.
Enough about the hat, onto another subject. I have found a love for a taboo food. One that adds to the granny persona that comes along with my habits of knitting and sitting infront of the TV covered with an afghan - the dried plum. Known for years as the prune, the snack has been revamped by marketing geniuses and named the dried plum. Come on people - it's a prune. Your grandma ate them to help her poop. I love them because they're sweet as candy but full of antioxidants and fiber (are you reading this Stacy?!). I'm not ashamed. I'm coming out. I'm out and I'm proud. I like prunes. I limit myself to 2-3 a day. Don't be ashamed prune lovers of America. Eat your prune in peace without the facade of calling it a dried plum. There's no shame in regularity.

I love your hat! I made one once and it looked TERRIBLE. Glad to see it come out cute for someone. Or maybe it was my head that was the problem...
Good luck with all the house shopping!

That looks adorable! It really is fabulous on you, I'm sure the niece will love it.
And also, I heart prunes too. For their delicious flavor and also the added benefits. hee. You're inspiring other prune lovers to come forward and confess!

I have to admit, never had a prune because I figured they tasted gross. I'll have to try some now! Nothing wrong with adding fiber to the 'ol diet, I can't be the only one who eats All Bran in the morning.... and it's certainly not because it tastes good.

Yay prunes! And I thought I was the only one under 50 who liked them!

I have to say that I don't like plums, so I never eat dried plums. Well, that & it would require me to go to the grocery store to buy them in the 1st place. But I did get some in one of my pre-packaged breakfasts. However, I was scared to eat them because it was on the same day I was given a bean salad for lunch & I had to sit in meetings all day. I decided it was best to limit my intake of those foods which could provide an embarrassing moment for me.

Count me in as a prune lover! Sweeter than any candy and so healthy!! Have you tried dried figs? A fig newton without the crust, very nice!
Congrats on your impending home ownership Jen :)

I am going to give those a try- getting tired of oatmeal.
I think we should all be more open about regularity. ;)
