Armageddon, brought to you by Tylenol ~
By Sarah | December 2, 2008
Frannie is finished and oh how I love this sweater. So much so, I must have another one. Must. I have some Karabella Soft Tweed in black, calling my name. Details.
Really digging the longer torso.
Funny how nice and flat the collar lays when you follow the directions of of the pattern and sew the back of the cowl to the sweater. No fiddling to keep the cowl in place at all.
Also on the needles:
- Yarn: Singapore Grill – Plucky Knitter Merino Cashmere Nylon Fingering
- Needles: 1.5 US circular
- Pattern: A hybrid of this darling pattern
Got your attention with the title of the post, didn’t I? Nope, there’s no cryptic message here – just about the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time. We were watching TV this weekend, flipping through the channels and Armageddon was on (don’t ask me why I stopped here, I just did) and when it broke for a commerical a voice-over comes on saying “Armageddon, brought to you by Tylenol.” I have no idea why, but it just struck me so funny – haven’t laughed that much in ages and ages. And, the first thing that popped into my head was “what a great title for a blog post!”
Yep, I’m a grade A nerd.

Your Frannie is perfect! It looks like a sweater from a fancy store.

Francis looks great! I love the neckline.
Yeah, that tagline would have cracked me up, too. If Armageddon ever comes, we’ll know exactly where to place the blame.

I am so in love with that sweater. I must get another set of hands so I can knit sweaters and spin the yarn at the same time.

Personally, I love Grade A nerds.
You know I love Frannie. Can’t wait till my yarn gets here so you can hold my shaking hands thru knitting one of my own.
