I think Hillbilly Knitters might like to crochet with unusual sources of fiber, i.e. recycled VHS tapes (just heard of this one yesterday). What would be the Hillbilly Knitting version of old cars adorning the lawn? Stash spread about the livingroom?Amy O'Neill Houckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04554411237706815410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11811998.post-1119068852569660102005-06-17T21:27:00.000-07:002005-06-17T21:27:00.000-07:00Congratualtions on the new home, been there, done ...Congratualtions on the new home, been there, done that cried through 5 rooms before making the discovery that the ugly beige and black bathroom was, in fact, pink and black.

I worked in hospice and we did home care (which is pretty much what hospice is duh) anyhow, this one time, I KID YOU NOT, I had to rinse the TICKS out of the sink to fill up a basin to give this poor woman a bath.

Forget what Celeste said about the caveats, I think she's a closet HBK. Y'know, I'll be at the Farmers Market SnB on the 7th, while I'm visiting L.A. I hope I get to see you there! My buddy is Ellen Bloom over there and I'm so excited to get a hookin' with y'all. I worked at the Fudge Shop and Dupars when I was in high school, when there was no Grove.

The former te...Congrats on the condo, OPD and all. The former tenant had a maid and it is still skanky? I'm a SAHM sans maid and my house is "lived in". OPD is always grosser than your own dirt. Even in hotels it grosses me out to walk barefoot on the carpet. I know they vac the place, but it has tons of OPD ground into it. <BR/><BR/>Each time I moved out of a place, I left it scrubbed and in move in condition. Now, when we were looking at houses to buy, we came across a few doozies and pigstys. Now, most of the icky place had mirrored walls. Why is that??? You know, those self stick 12 x 12 mirror tiles. I remember on house, I told my husband that all the carpet would have to go, as well as the mirrored wall before I would even consider stepping foot in the place to clean. We didn't buy it.<BR/><BR/>Is that all that's wrong is general skank factor? Any other major problems?<BR/><BR/>Hillbilly Knittin' rocks!Deneenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133271671966561594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11811998.post-1118974479031483462005-06-16T19:14:00.000-07:002005-06-16T19:14:00.000-07:00Sounds like hillbilly knittin' is only for girls. ...Sounds like hillbilly knittin' is only for girls. =(<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the condo!! =)~drew emborsky~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05450060815047472299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11811998.post-1118968906774292962005-06-16T17:41:00.000-07:002005-06-16T17:41:00.000-07:00I too was a teenager in the 80's and I still somet...I too was a teenager in the 80's and I still sometimes dress like that!

However, maybe we could combine our thoughts about what it is to be a Hillbilly Knitter and somehow bind those together. This is still very ambiguous, but it will become less opaque, hopefully sooner rather than later.<BR/><BR/>Okey dokey girls, I am going to put some brain cells a'working on this.LadyLinoleumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723972142875985218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11811998.post-1118962498042511922005-06-16T15:54:00.000-07:002005-06-16T15:54:00.000-07:00Goodness!
