Bullish

The Wall Street bull. Crochet. Yarn bombing.

With a capital a

Knitting is for Pus****? So says this crochet art installation.

Solutions

I don't know why it took nearly a week of often unproductive coughing--and thus extremely spotty sleep--to remember that there's a product that tends to keep it under control. After another night of getting little rest, I had to find a solution to the constant hacking. That stuff has kept the coughing more in control and permitted a lengthy afternoon nap, so maybe I can finally shake this bug.

So, while I continue to recuperate here's a local story about a professional soccer player who gets together with some old women to make hats for those in need.

Cuckoo for Coco

Conan O'Brien returns to hosting a TV talk show this evening. My years spent invested in late night television were back when David Letterman was on NBC and eventually moved to CBS, but tonight's occasion can be observed by pointing out needlecraft Conan items.

First, there's a pattern for a crocheted Conan amigurumi. Then there's the (presumably) crocheted Conan yarn blimp.

So there you go.

The yarn yurt

If you were to complete this project, wouldn't it look nice listed on your Ravelry project page?

Despite what the headline says, the ambitious crafter is not attempting to knit a yurt but crochet one. I wouldn't have the patience to bother with something like this, but I appreciate the vision and deliberation needed to try and pull off a project as unconventional as this. More power to her.
