I'm ready
Last night, I dreamt that aliens had descended and were choosing people to take with them.
I was one of the people forced to go, but I seemed strangely unbothered. I don't think I had any children in my dream ( maybe ) because the only thing I was concerned about was ' OH NO - I HAVEN'T GOT ANY KNITTING TO TAKE WITH ME ! '
So, I woke, and got up at 6.30 this morning, and immediately wound some of my favourite yarns into a big fat ball of wool..
So now I'm ready.
Just in case.
You'd better keep that yarn by your bed, so you have plenty of time to grab it!!! I can just picture an alien wearing a knitted scarf!!!

Good to know you are now fully prepared! Pink will look very nice with the green of their skin tone methinks.

Very sensible. One must always be prepared.

Isn't it funny how something can take hold of your brain like that? I'm off to make sure I'm ready for the alien abduction too.

You've suddenly provoked a sense of urgency into my lazy, late summer plans for fall knitting projects.

LOL! Have you been watching Dr Who? He looks like he could be a knitter...or the old curly-headed version with the great long scarf, he must have been a knitter for sure!

Wherever you shall go, Iit'll be a nice trip with this yarn.
Your dream doesn't sound unfamiliar to me only I worry about the state of my craftroom... it will be embarrassing when people find out about that... but then... I am in a different world then, shouldn't worry about that mess back on earth, right. So, any of that beautiful yarn left for me?

What would you knit for the aliens? Lovely ball of wool.

Can I ask what the yarn is - it is very pretty?

I occasionally have dreams like this which spurs me on to do things. As others have commented, it's always good to be prepared.

It's always good to be ready for those random alien invasions!!
Posted by:Di | August 23, 2007 at 06:37 PM
hahahahaha, maybe those aliens get scared off this big ball of wool, and think you' re some kind of mysterious women who creates pink planets, and don't take you after all ( oeps sorry if I spoilt your dream hahahha )........... :)

I would so totally do that. Makes perfect sense.
Posted by:carrie | August 23, 2007 at 10:38 PM
I think it's a sign...Aliens want to learn how to knit. How many arms?
