Eeeeuuuuwwww!  You’re going to the chiropractor without taking a shower?

I always go to Curves before I take a shower.

Well, that’s different.

But I go from the chiropractor to Curves.

Still…

It’s not like I have to take my clothes off.  He touches me through my clothes.  Besides, I don’t WANT to be attractive when I’m there, ya know?

He couldn’t object that reasoning.

As I’ve mentioned before, Hubby leaves on the red-eye Monday night for Quebec City for work and comes back Friday night.  The HIGH there today was 19 degrees.  19.  That’s in Fahrenheit, not Celsius, folks.  Hubby & I have been going back & forth about his needing cold-weather handknit items, such as a hat and scarf, but he’s refused.  Well, last night he came home and said that he wouldn’t wear a hat b/c he didn’t want “hat head”, but he’d consent to wearing a manly scarf in either silver and black or blue and gold.

I gave him links to various manly scarves, such as:

• The Manly Cable
• Asherton Reversible Scarf
• Ben (as an example of ye olde no-pattern-needed k2, p2 ribbed scarf)
• The famous Irish Hiking Scarf
• Yorick (mostly to see if he was actually looking at the links or not)
• Devo (familiar model, and how can you beat “US 11’s” and “knit in an evening”)

He could have chosen any of these.  But nooOOOOOOOOO, he chose this one:

OK, I am NOT going to knit this on US 4’s.  If I had till February, maybe, but not for a Monday night departure, when I have MEY’s commissions to finish before church on Sunday.  Nope, not gonna happen.  It’s gonna be on 7’s or 8’s in Cascade 220, that’s for sure….

[Added later]  Oh, and did I mention that I brought this on myself by mentioning to him that I knew of a double-helix scarf pattern?  Yupp, any stress is my own darn fault.

Like I said, Y is for YIKES!
