I’m not naming names but I got an email from a knitting friend this evening and she was telling me about issues she had with a project. Her last sentence cracked me up and I thought it was worth sharing:
Knitting Rule 101 — when birds poop on your project, just get rid of it! LOL
Marilyn Smith says
I remember one summer at Lake Tahoe on my brothers front deck that overlooked the lake. Cocktail time. we had appetizers and drinks. My mother was sitting there with her cocktail in her hand and a bird did his number right into her drink. We never laughed so hard. Mom got a fresh drink! Was a great family story until she died.

While here with Mom in Arkansas I’ve been helping her with a new phone. She is using the Kindle app and has learned to read books using the phone. Mom was complaining about the book she was reading, she just couldn’t get into it. I told her to stop reading–life is too short to read books you don’t like–and we found her a new book.

I had a pidgeon poop on my shoulder on my favorite raincoat once. Never was able to get it out. I threw it out too!

When we first moved to NY years ago, we took our kids to the beach. We trudged across the sand and got set up with our 2 year old son and 4 month old daughter and a bird promptly pooped on my shoulder. Guess my husband should have thrown me out! ? Yesterday that 4 month old had her second daughter, my how time flies!

You should share that Knitting Rule with Camp Loopy – so many of us have been visiting the Frog Pond!!!

It was my Camp Loopy project Judy was referring to! LOL she said she felt bad for laughing when she read my email but I was actually laughing when I saw what had happened. There were other issues with the project that had me thinking I should just forget about it but the bird poop was the “icing on the cake” so to speak that clearly told me that project was just not meant to be. 🙂
Judy Laquidara says
No – do NOT use that analogy. Bird poop icing! 🙁
justquiltin says
I couldn’t help myself. 🙂
Susan Nixon says
Good laugh!
Nelle Coursey says
Oh my! That is a good one! I remember when I was about 15-16 I was visiting my friend in San Angelo and we were sitting outside. She slapped her leg and said oh shit! Well she was right, it was bird poop!!
Joyce says
I’m with your friend. If a bird pooped on my project, it would go…LOL (Not without some cussing, though)
