Try using that phrase instead of, say, beautiful.
"My, what a bonny fair goodly well-favored dress you're wearing!"
Everyone will think you're really normal and will try to spend more time with you at parties.
I'm sitting here eating Angie's Kettle Corn, getting crumbs all over my keyboard, and I thought I'd tell you about my shawlscarf.
Sharf?
Scawl?
Regardless, it's bonny.
It's also a version of Virginia.
Knit in fair, goodly Octopus's Garden and Gulf of Mexico.
Here's a little secret that very few people know. Octopus's Garden is a total diva. I have a few colorways that are so very goodly that I can't help but love them.
But they're demanding little buggers, always wanting dressing rooms full of plain green M&Ms, white peonies, half-caff soy vanilla 140-degree lattes, and dots of color applied by hand with a tiny brush.
Will somebody get this kettle corn away from me, please? This is ridiculous. I can -- and will -- eat it all in one sitting if no one intervenes. (The classic flavor, not the caramel.)
I'm trying to talk about yarn and knitting here, and my keyboard is all sticky and full of crumbs. But the kettle corn is so light! Crunchy! Sweet! Salty!
I never knit gauge swatches for scawls. Or sharves. This pattern calls for two skeins of fingering weight yarn. I used one skein of Springvale Worsted and some DK I had on my desk for trim. Who cares! It's a sharf!
You should make your sharfscawl. And you should get your own bag of kettle corn, just so I feel less alone in the world. It's handcrafted in small batches from natural ingredients in the fine state of Minnesota.
Pretty much exactly like our yarn.
P.S. The people at Angie's don't know me. I just happen to like their kettle corn more than I should. My laptop does not thank me.
