I just checked to see what I was doing a year ago -- blogging about the World's Fastest Knitter competition at the Knit- and Crochet-Out at the Mall of America. (A review of this year's event at Born a Girl and photos elsewhere, but I do not remember where.) This year it was not convenient for me to go to the KnitOut, but #2 son and gf went; I am still waiting to hear what they saw and if they scored any freebies. Before they went I was coaching them via telephone and internet through what yarn and needles for her to get to knit herself a pair of legwarmers. Yay, another knitter!

Have you noticed that Blogger has gotten cute with its capchas in the past few months?
Instead of giving the commenter letter combinations like xlgug or sikeh, it gives combinations that are *almost* words.
Some of these capchas create their own definitions:
What should one do with a pint of lager?
Why,
it, of course!
My kids always wanted a
for a pet.
Now that they have grown up and left home, they have
instead.
I was always good at so I became an accountant.
The crafty among us are
interesting stuff out of
using our

One way to find blog fodder is to
le upon it.
And when I find something interesting, I
on it.
I've noticed that about the capchas lately too. Much fun! I love how you've used yours in sentences. Perfectly sensible sentences to boot.

I had a cute one this morning (that I can't remember and didn't capcha) -- slypunce is cute.

Hee hee - I'm glad it's not just my imagination on the capchas...

Yes, I've noticed it. sometimes the letters seem to mirror the subject of the blogger's post, too. Aren't you clever to use the floaty letters here . . .

Very clever use of captchas! I believe you've captcha'd the heart of the matter...
Slypunce is my favorite. I believe that's what my kitteh does.

Sometimes, the captchas even reflect my comments...
I do like them better than the old jumbled letters.

You crack me up!
Thanks for the giggles.

That is hilarious! Reminds me of "sniglets," from the 80s.

Bursplat is what happens when your burrito slips out of your hand and lands on the floor.
