Stitch N Bitch by Elenlin

September 20th, 2008 10:20 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Learn to knit or crochet. Knit together an object that expresses a strongly held opinion. Mail your creation to someone, preferably the person about whose actions you have that opinion.

This task is the follow up to http://sf0.org/Elenlin/Leave-Clues/, though I worked this one up first.
I wanted to crochet something to give to my boyfriend to tell him that I loved him. My first thought was to make him a heart, but wasn't sure if that was quite right for him. As I was thinking about it, I recalled telling him that I was going to get him flowers when he moved into his new apartment. So I says to myself "Self, you could crochet him a rose". After all, roses are a good expression of love. I went hunting through my yarn until I found a nice shade of red I liked. I also found a nice yellow. So I says to myself "Self, you should use yellow and red together, since red roses stand for love and yellow for friendship". And myself responses "Self, that's a fine idea."
After finishing it, I tried to decide the best way to get it to him, seeing as I'm a poor college student and to cheap to actually mail it. I was just going to sneak in to him apartment and leave it but found the task Leave Clues, and you'll just have to look at that one for the rest.

As mentioned above, poor college student. So instead of mailing him the rose, I emailed him a picture of it.
