An Essay on the Adult Surprise Jacket *

I shall now enrich your life by sharing with you about the Adult Surprise Jacket. To put it simply, people like the Adult Surprise Jacket. It still has the power to shock the aristocracy, trapped by their infamous history. With the primary aim of demonstrating my considerable intellect, I will now demonstrate the complexity of the many-faceted issue that is the Adult Surprise Jacket .

Special care must be taken when analyzing such a delicate subject. On the other hand, anyone that disagrees with me is an idiot.

Social Factors

Comparisons between Roman Society and Medieval Society give a clear picture of the importance of the Adult Surprise Jacket to developments in social conduct. I will not insult knitblog-readers’ intelligence by explaining this obvious comparison any further.

Did I mention how lovely the Adult Surprise Jacket is? It has been said that the one thing in society that could survive a nuclear attack is the Adult Surprise Jacket. This is incorrect; actually cockroaches are the only things that can survive a nuclear attack.

Economic Factors

Do we critique the markets, or do they in fact critique us? We will begin by looking at the JTB-Guide-Dog model using the median instead of the mean, where possible.

When displayed this way, it becomes very clear that the Adult Surprise Jacket is of great importance. Even a child could work out that oil prices have always depended upon the Adult Surprise Jacket to a certain extent, but now more than ever. The economic policy spectrum is seeing a period of unprecedented growth.

Political Factors

Politics was once a game featuring competitors from elite classes. Looking at the spectrum represented by a single political party can be reminiscent of comparing the two sides of the Adult Surprise Jacket.

To quote the star of stage and screen Augustan T. Time, 'You can lead a horse to water, big deal.' [2] One cannot help but agree, when faced with the Adult Surprise Jacket, that this highlights an important issue. If our political system can be seen as a cake, then the Adult Surprise Jacket makes a good case for being the icing.

I hope, for our sake, that the Adult Surprise Jacket will endure.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Adult Surprise Jacket may not be the best thing since sliced bread, but it's still important. We can say with certainty the Adult Surprise Jacket has been, and will continue to be, a major building block for the world in which we live. It sings a new song, invades where necessary and is a joy to behold.

Here with the final word is Hollywood's Beyonce Love Hewitt: 'I would say without a shadow of a doubt: the Adult Surprise Jacket ROCKS!!! [3]

Oooooh! A new Dalegarn booklet, Nr. 138! My copy arrived this afternoon and I'm quite taken with at least three of the sweaters. . . and I must say I love it when Dalegarn presents a sweater in two or more colorways. This edition has some swank hats, too. I give it Two Knitter-Thumbs-Up! This site has photos of a number of the designs. The only odd thing about this newest booklet is the cover photo. For some reason, a perfectly beautiful woman in a perfectly beautiful sweater is wearing a squirrel on her head. Go figure!

The only thing more fun than Fair Isle knitting is Norwegian knitting. Knit those decorated tubes, cut 'em open at the sleeves and you've got yourself a knitterly masterpiece. It's a good thing that my Nr. 138 arrived, because my copy of Stranded Color Knitting still isn't here yet. I hope it comes tomorrow. While I haven't seen Nanette's book, I trust her color-knitting skills completely. I suspect this little booklet will become as classic as the SWAK Intarsia booklet. Do you have one of those? I've actually been looking around for my ancient copy of the SWAK book, because Shobhana is making me happy with her TomTom progress. And you know what else tickles me practically pink? Christine writes that she has added new bears to her gallery; go look, you'll grin.

We're all perking up here the closer it gets to the weekend. I'm having a new experience on Saturday—being an usher here. I am hoping that it will be totally Guffman-esque.

Thursday. Little Jack reminds you not to sit so close to your computer—You'll Ruin Your Eyes.

Cheers, and happy knitting.

We've been puritanical about sticking to the one knitted project here, and we're about to finally be done with the major increasing part. Well, in about another 30 rows. Won't it be nice, though, once finished!

ASJ-15jun04.gif

It's taking what seems a long while, but when I consider the number of non-knitting goals accomplished while I've been working on this project, I don't feel troubled. A smaller-sized Adult Surprise Jacket (by Elizabeth Zimmermann) would knit more quickly than my large ASJ, and of course, the Baby SJ knits in only a few evenings. Even though my ASJ seems to never grow larger and longer on the needles, I still recommend this as a very interesting and interesting-looking knit.

Mail Call

We've had some smashing good mail here lately; unusual Japanese yarn from Noriko-san, printing-pressed notecards from Amber, two packs of Squirrel-colored Calmer from Colourway, and some fabulous Canadiana from Terri. The only thing we are anxiously awaiting now is Master-Knitter Nanette's new book, Stranded Color Knitting. It's been a while since I was so eager for a book, and about my favorite topic, too! Plus, all proceeds of book sales go to rescue more rabbits.

Whoa!

How the heck did I miss this?

Wednesday. Little Jack reminds you that half a peanutbutter cookie is better than none.
Cheers!
