This post was originally published Nov 6, 2010 on my other blog: The Difference Between A Duck. I thought maybe it deserved some attention here. Yeah, kinda makes sense.
This is a photo of Laurie Wheeler (Fearless Leader of the CLF) and I at Pinch Knitter Yarns during the Crochet Liberation Front‘s 2010 Conference/Retreat at Cama. Bill, fabulous crocheter, photographer and husband of free-form crochet designer Bonnie Pierce, was snapping photos of everyone. And this shot was in the mix!
“Good Lord,” I said when I first saw it on Facebook. “What happened to my face!”
I know what it is. That’s the look I get on my face when I’m concentrating. And thinking back, I’m guessing I was focusing in on her words since I’ve trouble hearing in groups. But anyway, since then Laurie, Bonnie and I have supposed on what caption could be put with this photo – related to crochet, yarn, the CLF and our retreat.
"My yarn is not going to be there when I wake up, will it..."
My favorites so far are:
“You’re going to steal my yarn while I’m sleeping, aren’t you…..” and
“Seriously? Since when is there a limit of only five? I’m not giving one up!”
“I’m not hiding anything….”
Maybe: “This is not the yarn you’re looking for….?”
Bonnie added: “Yea…. I DO have enough money to pay for my cabin! You can’t make me put them back!!”
I love it! What captions would you come up with? 😀

I don’t care if it is a magic potion, I ain’t giving up my yarn!
My first impression was something along the lines of…
“And then when I finished the squid ami I was crocheting, before I could even weave in the ends, it lunged at my face…”
LOL @JoyOoak! You mean like this? 😀 http://www.flickr.com/photos/mommamotorbiker/5511397024/in/set-72157626102865625
” I can’t belive this. Is she really saying that she chose the All-You-Can-Eat buffet over the All-You-Can-Crochet buffet ?!?!?” Great picture. Have you used all the yarn yet?
“spill your drink on my yarn and i will beat your A@%!”
Girl on side gasps “Oh no please dont hurt me… pleeeease!”
If Laurie’s around, you might want to keep your yarn as close as possible ;D
“I don’t belive this! Is she really standing there telling me about the All-You-Can-Eat food buffet, when I’ve got to drop these off in my room and rush back to the All-You-Can-Crochet yarn buffet?!?!?”
I thought “I’m taking my yarn and going home!!!”
🙂
Don’t even THINK about touching my yarn until you’ve washed your hands, and maybe not even then!
