About Me
- Name: Halley
- Location: Washington, D.C.
I am won over with offers of: (1) plane tickets, theatre tickets, concert tickets for anything folky; (2) late start times, obsolete alarm clocks, afternoon brunch; (3) charming personal anecdotes, a good bullshit story, choosing one’s own adventure; (4) pickles, multiple forms of the potato, every form of chocolate; (5) and dogs. All of them.

I definitely thought those were figurine penguins wearing miniature sweaters until I followed the link.
well, they are real miniature sweaters. you got that part right.
I was thinking of taking a knitting class this past fall and I said to myself "uh, who's gonna wear anything you knit?". Now I know who! I'm gonna enroll this fall for sure :)
Oil tankers Bad? Halley, you hurt my feelings! What am I gonna say to that?
For what it's worth, random anonymous old ladies knit wool hats for tanker crews, too. I have a red-and-black one. They've got some good marketing people, I guess, to corner the penguin sweater craze.
