…oh…and by the way
If you’re looking to get tattooed, and are near Portland, Maine, or willing to schlep there for a great artist, check out my friend Phuc’s shop.
He and his wife recently abandoned us all in New York and moved up there. New York’s loss is Portland’s etc etc. I miss him. Not only is he a great friend from way back in the early days of college, but he also gave me my favorite tattoo. (Maybe you shouldn’t play favorites with your tattoos, but I do.) A couple of years back, when I told him I was getting a divorce, he said, “Sounds like you need a new tattoo.” And then he gave me a new tattoo. What a friend!
Go visit Phuc and get inked!
Cari,
I just wanted to let you know that I finally cashed in that gift certificate you sent. I got a ton of Cascade Pearl Variegated in bright harlequin colors. No project in mind yet, but I’m sure something will present itself.
Thanks a gazillion. And hey, enjoy your capelet – we do not exist only to make stuff for other people!

Okay, that entry about going to Phuc and get done just BEGS for me to phuc around with it, but I won’t! I won’t, I won’t, I won’t…..
I wonder how many of us blogger/knitter/writers are tattooed? Hmmmm. Maybe worth a poll?

Beautiful site and beautiful work. I love a man who gives a phuc about tattoos. (groan!) (hey, Rachael started it…)
By the way, Nora (knitbynora.blogspot.com) has little photos of two very snappy capelets on her blog today.

fook? weawwy? k, I’ll take your word for it.
what pattern are you using for your capelet (how romeo and juliet-ish) cuz maybe this will help me solve my pancho dilemma. My poncho named Pancho has had three of his swatches ripped out already and he’s tired of it. I need some inspiration.
Tank you.

If I were nearby, I’d go. I’d like to redo one of my tattoos, and as good as my brother is at tattooing, I don’t think I’d like for him to be the one to do it in consideration of where it is! (And NO, I ain’t sayin’ where they are. Hehe.)

Oh come on, Becky! Fess up! I’ll tell you the what and where of mine if you tell me yours!
Okay…seems there are quite a number of tattooed knitters out there. I think Rachael’s right. Maybe we need a poll? Or better yet, a gallery of our tats? heh heh

come visit my site. I may have lost my mind. XOX

I’ll tell you via e-mail but there’s no way in you know where I’ll be able to post up pics of my tats without having to put up a censor on my weblog. The tats themselves are harmless, but the location…tee hee! [Oh, the things we do when we’re 20 and visiting Italy by our lonesome!]
