I have been productive, this weekend, at designing knitwear with a political bent.
( background )
You know the "Obama is the Ant Christ" meme?
Yeah, I designed a hat..
(Marked as mature for potential offense value, not because it contains naughty bits. I've still gotten a few outraged comments, but mostly they get deleted immediately.)
It occurred to me that the ant motif would make a good hat for any budding entomologist; I plan on designing/releasing that version, separate from the political version except in addition to "hat with ants marching around the brim" version, I want to do a more complicated design where the ante actually spiral around. (Which probably involves 8 segments each starting at a different chart row, though I'm going to have to do some jiggering so the end of round jog gets incorporated.). So basically easy mode and hard mode.
Ant hat will get tested, though. It's only smartass response-to-drama patterns that I post asap.
