So, so love the telephone sheep. I work for a large, multinational telephone company, and I want one for my office!
The sheep look like they're all plugged in...does that mean the phones still work? Or do they just ring randomly, like sheep talking to each other?
Phone sheep! And I love that the website (cual quiera) translates to "as you wish" or "as you like it." Not sure why I get a kick out of that, but I do :)
Usually a lurker, but coming out of the tall grass to say, thanks for the Kooky Kraft link! It made my day!
With ya on the baby sock thing. I have now made THREE baby booties in close proximity of time from the same pattern and yarn, and all three are different sizes. Maybe they'd be ok on the babe, but I'd know, and I don't have a baby here to try them on. Number 4 coming up?
Thanks for posting about Karen Jo. Now I know where to find her- she's been commenting on my blog and I didn't know how she was (no email through Blogger comments, blah, blah, blah.)
Ryan, it was a pleasure to meet you, too. I loved seeing the hat and other projects in person. Thanks for the link.
I've done such jobs as manager of the housewares department of the Macys in Palo Alto over a holiday season and nurse administrator for blood services at the Harborview Trauma Center, so I'm pretty good at telling a sugar/yarn fume high from true mania. We all were pretty hyped up, weren't we? And people brought lots of nice projects to fondle.
Love the Argentinian sheep.
Love the phone sheep. Someone has a terrific imagination.
Wow the phone sheep look good. I had to take a second/third look to see the phone.
Oh I LOVE the sheep! Thanks for sharing that one!
OK everyone was going SQUEE over the phonehead sheep and I have to admit they gave me the creeps. They looked like some kind of weird monster out of anime. Usually I'm all about sheep but somehow not this time...
I love the phone sheep! The first thought that went through my mind was that they were the grandparents (grandsheep, perhaps?) of Ryan's office sheep. :)
I love the telephone sheep! I love the outdated equipment recycled into art! Somehow this little herd gives me a sense of serenity... it would be great to have them in our lobby at work. Enjoy reading your thoughts!
I stared at that photo for a full 5 seconds before I saw the telephone heads. Duuuhhhh. I was looking at the bodies trying to figure out what they were made of, and it wasn't until I got around to reading the title that I saw the phones!
Seems like there are several orders of fun. I wrote on my blog yesterday about a Turkish woman I just met whose idea of fun is to hang out with Pakistani border tribes and smoke powdered scorpion stingers with them for the hallucinogenic effect. Imagine a Guild meeting if THAT was offered next to the Rocky Road!
