"...I Will Pick Up The Needles. I Will Knit Something New. Two Things. And I Call Them Thing One And Thing Two."
"These Things will not bite you.
They want to have fun."
Then, out of the box
Came Thing Two and Thing One!
And they ran to us fast.
They said, "Do you like to sniff glue?
Would you like to sniff glue
With Thing One and Thing Two?"
And Kimberly and I
Did not know what to do.
So we had to sniff glue
With Thing One and Thing Two.
And then after that
We had such a hard time
Thinking up words
Words that would rhyme.
So we just took a nap instead.
The End.

Greenie is sporting the very fashionable "Non-Camel Toe"

Is that blue and white thing a satellite dish attached to Thing 2's head? Can you get HBO on it? Does it work any better than DIRECTV, or does the signal still break up in a steady rain?

Well, should I ever want to knit an Early Italian Renaissance outfit, I now know where to look. Oy. All they need are some floppy hats.

Alright, 3 questions: 1) What is that in the foreground? Is it actually a wooden pheasant with real feathers and blue go-go boots? 2) Is that Greenie's hair, or is she wearing some kind of hat? and 3) I know what a camel toe is, but what's a non-camel toe???

There is not time for play
There is not time for fun
No glue must be sniffed
Knitting must be done
For while green has a hat
on her head that is funny
Pink has a tunic like a
sack that is gunny.
(Maybe I need a nap, too)

How does Green manage to balance on the table? It must be tough without arms.

"Oh, my outfit is so terribly cute."
Well, to tell you the truth, I think it's a hoot.
"But it smooths and it flatters, I know I look good."
I supposed if you want to be Robin Hood.
"That's terribly mean, I'm ever so mod!"
Your outfit's designer is such a big fraud.
"But it took be forever to get this thing knitted!"
Then perhaps you should consider getting committed.
"I look so hot, the photographer chants!"
He'll say anything just to get in your pants!
"The joke's on you, I'm not wearing any
That explains the

No arms? Wooden pheasant? Rock shaped like a hamburger bun?
My God! Soylent Green is people!!!

Ooops! Hit entered before finishing the "pome". The last stanza is
"I look so hot, the photographer chants!"
He'll say anything just to get in your pants.
"The joke's on you, I"m not wearing any knickers"
That explains the comments and snickers.
(now it's really time for my nap)

My last stanza disappeared! Maybe I really need a nap.
it was supposed to read:
"I look so hot, the photographer chants!
He'll say anything to just get in you pants.
"The joke's on you, I'm not wearing any knickers!"
So that explains the jokes and the snickers.

It's like the prototypes for Dustin Hoffman's "Tootsie" character.
"Do you think Dustin would agree to a knit catsuit with pinafore or should we go for a more traditional look?"

Great costumes for a Wool, Inc. sponsored performance of Peter Pan. That would be Peter and a very large Tinkerbelle pictured.
Interesting to know that someone even considered knitting her own hose in the age of L'eggs (or the precursor thereof).

A fright that is green
A horror in pink
We must pose outdoors
'Coz these clothes really stink
Glue? I think not. You need speed to put in the hours needed to knit these puppies. And to make doing it seem like a good idea.

I hope Thing 2 (or is that Thing 1?) looks before she sits down or else she's in for one heck of a surprise!

Oh no Owl-Girl! Never sit on a splintery, unpolished wooden bench in a knitted body suit!
You just know when she stood up a long string of yarn yanked out behind her.

Threadbared the book was featured in the Seattle Times on Sunday! My husband pointed it and said, "Hey, don't you read this website?" It was very cool. Do you have a copy, yet?

I'm wondering about the wooden peacock and the wooden hamburger-bun-with-a-stake-through-it on the bench. And all the wood is bleached, like driftwood. Did Things 1 and 2 wash up on the beach? This might explain the lack of shoes...
Posted by: Lidian | Jan 24, 2007 3:19:38 PM
Hey Jeana - thanks for letting us know about the Seattle Times, I just found it online!
Posted by: Mary | Jan 24, 2007 3:28:59 PM

Out side an adobi house!! ok thats perfect, now I need just the right props to commpliment. wait how about this wheathered wooden rooster sculpture...! it just has this perfect je no sei qua about it... the perfect finishing touch...
Posted by: Ella | Feb 25, 2007 3:25:22 PM
