So, the Guardians of The Galaxy are a thing. I should have said something before now, but I've been busy doing stuff and junk. As such, I'm just getting around to posting about this wonderment, this ... marvel, if you will, of modern entertainment. The music in this film was on fleek. It fit perfectly with the storyline and feel of the entire movie. The characters were solid, and what a great ensemble cast! Of course, I have to mention Chris Pratt, because of reasons. You know, of all the beautiful, talented Chrises that Marvel has produced in their <a href="http://www.hitfix.com/comedy/marvel-is-secretly-building-an-abstastic-chris-army-and-thats-okay">Marvel Man Factory</a><a href="http://www.hitfix.com/comedy/marvel-is-secretly-building-an-abstastic-chris-army-and-thats-okay">™</a>, I believe he has become my favorite, surpassing even the otherworldly beauty of <b>THE HEMSWORTH</b>. That Pratt comedic timing combined with that gingery gorgeousness just speaks to me on a spiritual level. (Well done, Anna Faris!) However, I haven't come today to speak to you of the virtues of handsome heroes, but about another wonderful member of the Galaxy gang, someone a little less rooted in reality.</div>

Ok, it's not technically baby groot, but he is tiny, and there is a TINY ROCKET RACOON with him! How can you not love that? They're the best of friends, and they just want to be your friend... or they want that guy's leg. Either one. </div>

You know what's cool? October. October is cool, as in cold. As in it's been unusually cold here this October in the deep south. At least, it has been for the last week. I won't lie, I can deal with the cold, but I don't like to, and<i> winter is coming. </i><br />

Yarn. YARN, y'all. Did you know y'arn can make awesome wigs? I didn't, but now I do. Those dreads, wool yarn- brushed and locked. I also want that hoodie like headpiece.

It seriously blows my mind that this is YARN. It's so soft and pretty and looks so much like cotton candy hair. I know it's a doll's head, but I want this for me. FOR ME. Also, cotton candy. I feel like that should also be in my life.</div>

So, I'm pretty pumped about the new Star Wars movie. I've loved Star Wars ever since I was a little girl. I was hooked from the first time I saw it. I want to knit with tiny little Lightsabers! Who wouldn't want to knit with tiny little Lightsabers?! I didn't even know this was a thing, but apparently a lot of nerdy crafters do, and the force is strong with them.<br />

Just because you can't knit or crochet doesn't mean you have to pass the yarn isle with your head held in shame. Well, I'm here to tell you, don't despair! There are plenty of awesome yarn related crafts you can make without ever picking up a hook or pair of needles. These little pompom bookmarks are super adorable, and easy to make. </div>

You could also make some pretty jewelry! You could wrap some old bangles and give them new life, or start from scratch. You could use a few pipe cleaners twisted together and then wrap yarn (or embroidery floss) around them, or even an old glow band that's lost its glow in the dark charm. </div>

If
you do want to do a little knitting but you're still intimidated by the
idea. Start of with a little finger knitting. You will always have your
tools on hand (that's right. I did that.) and it's pretty simple. Use
some chunky yarn for a really pretty stocking stitch. You'll have a new
scarf in no time!</div>

Artist Noortje De Kejzer sometimes felt lonely and the sad, and desperate landscape of the modern dating scene did nothing to help her shake that feeling. And, she figured others must, at times, feel lonely themselves. So, she created her very own knitted boyfriend, which speaks to the human condition and the want of companionship. </div>

<i>I hope my project brings a bit of recognition, and awareness that
everybody feels lonely from time to time. That it is totally fine to
talk about it or even laugh about it! I tried to make a very humorous
project about this serious subject. I believe that laughing about a
negative feeling is already the beginning of a more positive and happy
feeling. And when you feel positive and happy with yourself, the right
person will come along!</i></div>

I googled "Knitted Tom Hiddleston," and <i>BY JOVE</i> there he is in his Henry the Vth kit. Is there anything the sweet, sweet insanity of the internet can't provide? The creator of this piece is obviously talented, and you should check out her crafty custom pieces.<br />

But I digress. Hiddles deserves a post all his own.<br />

Anyway, this won't be a long post, but I wanted to let you know to start expecting good things. Good things like this:<br />

I didn't choose the Christmas Sweater Life;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Christmas Sweater Life chose me.</div>
So, making a new sweater this year was not really in the stars for me, but speaking of stars, I did have time to throw together that sparkly little tiara. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(It's a tiiiiiiiiara!!!! Put it on me, put it on me, put it on me!)</span> The sweater is a remix too, but you've got to admit, those shoulder bows really gave it the punch it was missing. I think it brought new life into the old girl. This is how I dressed for the last day of work of 2013. I felt like it put a nice cap on the year, and affirmed to everyone that I really should have been born in Whoville. I've been slammed and haven't been able to update the blog much this year, but I'm hoping to get out one good post before the season ends. Be on the look out for a third installment of <a href="http://ugly-sweater.blogspot.com/2011/12/swingin-solstice-singles.html">Swingin' Soltice Singles</a>, as it's time for tales of lasting love, all wrapped up in cozy knitwear.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I hope everyone has a happy or at least tolerable Festivus tomorrow. Best of luck in the feats of strength! (May the odds be ever in your favor!)<br />

At some point, I think you just get the crazy cat lady starter kit sent to your door. It's not so much that you're looking to own 15 cats, as it is the universe assumes that since you're 30ish, female, and single, you're probably heading that way. For me, this was last year. They, the cats, just started showing up at my house. <i>Cats.</i> More than one. Multiple cats started hanging out, like they'd been invited or <i>summoned.</i> Now, don't get me wrong, I like cats. I used to have a cat, the best one ever probably, but that was my choice, Universe! Stop sending me your spares! However, if I was to become a crazy cat lady, I think I've found a few items that I'd want to throw in my basket.<br />
<br />
First off, let's talk about that up there. Knit Your Own Cat. <i>KNIT YOUR OWN CAT.</i> I mean, there are 16 frisky felines you can make! 16 of them! Each of your real cats can have a stuffed cat of its own!</div>

<i>Those eyes</i>. I'm guessing each and every one of those cats is tweaked out on the 'nip. It's their first time seeing in color, and ME-WOW! It's like a sweater made from the tasty rainbow trail of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4">Nyan-Cat</a>.<br />

Of course, having cats is a hobby all its own, but what do you do with them once you start collecting them? Easy, you knit for them. Cat in a hoodie? Why not? Obviously the cat is enjoying it.<br />

AND then there's this! The, a little too realistic , knitted cat scarf, <i>for you to wear. </i>I might be wrong, but bonus points if I'm right- I'm thinking that's knitted from real cat hair. Also, you can use it to threaten your pets too, if they start misbehaving. "You remember Mr. Whiskers, Mittens? DO YOU? He thought my couch was a scratching post too. Now, he goes perfectly with my green sweater."<br />
Those eyes have seen terrible things.<br />

I live in America. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">'MURICA.</span> We like things<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> BIG.</b></span> We super-size every thing: meals, houses, cars, waistlines, even problems. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(ACA...)</span>You name it; we like it with two heaping scoops of extra ginormous. However, we don't have a monopoly hugeness. Imagine my surprise when I found that little infographic up top there.

I couldn't find an image of the giant UK sweater, so I give you this one from New Zealand! It only makes sense really, given their world- renowned, high-quality wool, that they'd put it to good use, such as knitting a sweater no one could ever actually wear. NZ, I like it. I like your offbeat sense of humor, your easygoing attitude, and your plentiful hobbits. You could probably clothe the whole population of the Shire with that one garment. </div>

This sweater bears an uncanny resemblance to Big Foot, as in it was ridiculously difficult to find pictures, and what I did find was small, blurry, and couldn't be trusted to not just be some guy in a gorilla suit or in this case, a close up of a Seurat painting.

I'VE DONE MY WAITING! 12 YEARS OF IT! IN AZKABAN!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wait... wait... that's Sirius Black, not me. Still, I've done my waiting too, many, many years of it, as have most of us. I have fond memories of the kids' table though, surrounded by cousins, telling stories, arguing about cartoon shows like adults do about politics, and eating home-cooked goodness until we almost vomited. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">('Murica) </span>However, I can proudly say I've been promoted from the kids table. That's right, now, I proudly sit at the "you're still single at your age?" table, and that's GOT to count for something. </div>

Of course, there's also this. I bet it says something like "I'm 'Beary' Thankful" or "Don't Forget The 'Cranbeary' Sauce" on the back. It also says "Keep on moving, hottie. I can't 'bear' the thought of a relationship."</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">BUT WAIT! WHAT'S <i>THIS?!</i> </span>A man that shares my affinity for thankfulness, sass, and sweaters?! Well, just look at that delightfully awkward beefcake!

which might buy you this #sweater... or it might not. I don't know. I do have to ask, if people click on that, do they get a linkback or just a sexual harassment lawsuit?

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">By why wear your hashtag on your sleeves when you can wear it on your head? I mean, sure, at first glance I think #StarOfDavid, but then I realize, no, and that I need to go to the eye doctor soon. My contacts are obviously made of #WeakSauce. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm getting older and I stare at a computer screen all day every day. #Nothing. </span></span><br />

Personally, I #LoveHashtags, they're extremely handy when used correctly, and can be most beneficial for pulling up relevant information on a wealth of subject matter, but I love to use them incorrectly even more, which is why my friend Talmadge and I started this page on FB. We'd love to have you join us. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tagginwithtalmadge">TagginWithTalmadge</a>. Really, the only rule is everything you say has to be said in hashtag format: #ThisMakesForReallyRidiculouslyLongAndPointlessHashtagsButItsSeriouslyHilarious.</div>

This is seriously sweet. Now, we all know that animals in clothes aren't really my thing, but COME ON. These Shetland ponies, Fivla and Vitamin, in Fair Isle Sweaters are the brainchild of the Scottish Tourism board. Why ponies in sweaters, to encourage people to visit the bonnie land of the Scots for all and in all of its natural beauty.<br />
<br />
Visit Scotland? OK, I WILL.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ponies aside, who doesn't want to go to Scotland anyway? Beautiful country, gorgeous accents, gingers a plenty(!), a rich and storied history, legit pubs, and yeah, ponies in sweaters - there is that. Basically, it's a magical land full of adorable creatures and occasionally lake monster. What's not to like?<br />

Stockholm-based fashion designer <strong><a href="http://www.sandrabacklund.com/%20">Sandra Backlund</a></strong>, created this... <i>interesting garment</i>. I'm pretty sure H.R.

If you're like me, you're kind of stunned at how quickly the years seem to pass. One minute, it's January and you're taking down the tree, cleaning up wrapping paper and decorations, and the next minute, you're picking out your Halloween costume, dressing a turkey for Thanksgiving, and putting that tree up again. It's crazy. Well, 2012 is about to pass into the days of Auld Lang Syne and the sun is about to rise on 2013. It's a time for reflection, for resolution, and the biggest question we all must ask ourselves at the advent of each new year...</div>

You could wear something like this. It's fun. It's festive. What could be more appropriate to wear to the big ball drop than a bunch of big balls? It also provides a nice buffer zone between you and other Times Square party goers. Random drunk guy trying to move in for a slobbery midnight kiss? Good luck getting past this thing, bucko.</div>

Or this! It's got the ball theme of the evening, and it even looks snowy, which sometimes happens on New Year's. Plus, it'll help you keep that yearly resolution to drop some weight. You shed that thing and you've instantly lost 10 lbs! </div>
