water it down, diva

see -- this is what i'm talking about.

from a pointed entry about the youngest girl zappa on the brilliant go fug yourself, i found what appears to be the source for "one of a kind wearable pieces of art".

you know. just as long as nobody else on earth goes out and buys one of the bazillion massproduced skeins of novelty yarn that these appear to be made with. and as long as no one else on earth has basic knitting skills.

but these are by frank zappa's daughter, you see.

i love frank. i registered to vote for the first time at a frank zappa concert in 1988, tower theatre. i learned how to take off my underpants without taking my pants off, straight from the mouth of frank zappa.

frank was around at the time nudie suits were being made. but frank is not around now to tell his daughter about it. maybe he would have. maybe not.

sure, she's allowed. we're all allowed. have i not recently also made a point about new knitters -- any knitters -- having every right to enjoy their basic skills and their novelty yarns? yes i have. do i contradict myself? very well then i contradict myself.

except, i really don't, do i?

this right here is a molecule of tap water in the otherwise fabulously perfumey bottle of gin that is knitting.

and there you go.
