uncategorized,

Anita is an evil genius.

I know it’s not in good taste to make such public proclamations about another blogger. But I feel that someone has to warn the others ….. Anita is bad – she a temptress, a seductress – she’s naughty.

If you follow the link to her site, I warn you to be careful, very careful. She may seem like a kind, smart, clever woman — and she is definitely smart and so, so clever.

She joined the Spearfish knitalong. This knitalong is a race too — first one to complete the project wins sock yarn. So Anita sends me a private email, inviting me to a side wager between just us two. I demure, knowing that gambling is the devil’s work and that I have way too many projects to even think I could win. (watch carefully because this is the part where her evil genius shines through) She then sends an email saying, no problem – she too is swamped, she is also trying out a new sock knitting method and is anticipating lots of ripping.

Right then, I thought – wow, maybe I could win this bet. Anita says she swamped and is going to screw up everything.

I email back saying okay the bet’s on – more sock yarn is at stake. She says fantastic, this will be fun (like a cat with the mouse is fun) and then goes on to say how she has already given up the new sock method, is back to her dpns.

Do you hear this???? Not only is she not screwing up, she’s already knitting away!!!

I think she plotted this all along. here’s a look at Anita’s things to do list:

make nicey nice with Ann
realize that Ann is greedy & stupid
join knitalong
offer betting
feign being swamped and inept, thereby making Ann think she has a chance in hell of winning this bet.
anticipate lots of sock yarn arriving in your mailbox and start picking colors
cackle with glee

Anita has led me down the path of ruin. Not only am I gambling, but now I am hoping, nay rooting, for her and her stinkin’ socks’ demise!

rip Anita, rip!!!!
