Say What?
Saw: Today I grew a new person
Says: Today I, the new person,
Saw: Gifts of contemptuous jewelry
Says: Gifts of contemporary jewelry
Saw: Light was in the glitter guild meeting
Says: Last night was the knitters guild meeting
Saw: Plenty of time to execute the guy thoroughly.
Says: Plenty of time to evaluate the guy thoroughly.
Could it be that I have some wires crossed in the cerebral cortex or some such? I used to think that my "creative reading" was just amusing but now I wonder if it goes deeper. I swear that I'm not making this stuff up. Could some latent visual perception dysfunction be emerging? Is there a neuroscientist in the house?
Well there's no mistaking this: FREE YARN!
Yes, it's my birthday May 29th but you get the gifts. Leave me a comment from now through midnight (CT) May 30, 2008 containing your best birthday haiku (English 5/7/5 style), along with your color family and weight preference. I'll pick three names at random, then announce the winners on Saturday, May 31, 2008. Be sure to include a valid email address so that I can contact you. For now, I leave you with this:

Spring is half over.
I've knit no warm weather gear -
Just bum shoulder blues.

I got a good giggle out of those misreads. I go through phases when I'll mishear things and I'll just hear the strangest things out of people's mouths. I've never really misread anything though.
I hate when misreads happen, although mine seem to run the "time to execute" way. Hope your Birthday is great.
I would do a Haiku, but believe me you will be much happier if I don't. I am not good at that. Yarn, fiber, knitting, yeah I can do those.
This really does suck,
Cuz I could use the free yarn
But can't write for sh*t.
Haikus are the best.
Giving away yarn is nice...
Birthdays are better.
Enjoy your special day and your fun little contest! You know how to get a hold of me if need be :)
What fun!
Here goes:
Really don't need yarn
Yearn to fondle anyway
God, I hope to win
...Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
New York has turned green!
Cold weather has gone away!
People now must thaw.
But I really like Lv2Knit's haiku.
I do the same things with misreads, and I wonder too if there's some mild dyslexia goin' on.
Happy Birthday to you!
I do not need more yarn (for reals this time) so I will just wish you an awesome birthday!
Happy Birthday! But I think you should leave my name out of the drawing as I've already won wonderful yarn from you! Just a bit ago!!!
Still have a wonderful birthday!
(((hugs)))
Clean teeth, new shoulder
Birthday wishes can come true
Back to knitting soon!
How's that? ;)
Shoulder pain sucks A**
Wish it would go away forever
Hope you heal my friend
or
Happy Birthday Karen,
My internet knitting friend
We will meet again soon (hopefully)
I think I'm in a Haiku "zone". Very unusual for me.
Happy Birthday K
fabulous person are you!
gift giving is fun
You are beautiful
and not cuz you give free yarn
The Mabel agrees
:)
Time slips past us as
birthdays come and go, leaving
happy memories.
Fiber dreams drift soft
Through joyous sleeping mind, with
no need to count sheep.
Jewel tones and black, fingering weight... :)
Birthdays every year
Yarn cakes make good birthday cakes
Hope you can knit soon
Cold in Chicago
Yarn Stores are everywhere here
Knitting scarf in May
I like green and sock yarn or lace yarn or whatever, don't want to get greedy. Happy b-day, hope you get better soon.

want to knit with wool
turtlenecks in my future
cold weather knitting
very spontaneous... ;)
i'd love any and everything you'd be willing to part with, and wish you a very happy birthday!
knitting for my friend
what can i do for her loss
count stitches, blessings
One more year counted
Like stitches on your needle
Adds to the person
Another candle
On a yummy birthday cake
Make a happy wish!
Happy birthday! My daughter, my husband, and I all have May birthdays, too, so I definitely think it's the best birthday month of the year! :)
Another birthday
And a good excuse for cake
Or a martini!
Happy birthday! I have misreads all the time but cannot think of any at the moment to share.
I work in a Middle School and this conversation was overheard in a classroom there...
"Do you go to church?"
"No, my family doesn't go."
"Well do you know if you're Catholic or Prostitute?"
Sometimes I need to excuse myself to go outside and laugh.
I've no sage advice
Age brings no special wisdom
Have fun and eat cake
Love haiku
Life's swirling spindle
Dances through our mundane days
Plying beauty too
Celebrate your birth
Remember where you have been
Look forward to more
Here's hopes for feeling better.
I met you in Chicago, WWKIP last year!
And I can't limit myself to one haiku, they breed like rabbits. Quality, not, quantity, yes.
Happy Birthday To
You does not fit evenly
in the haiku form.
Yarn is your metier
Yarn also makes a great gift
Wouldn't you agree?
To La Cabeza:
Most happy birthday wishes!
(Can you read THAT? Good!)
Age does not matter
Birthdate is irrelevant
But presents are good!
Shouldn't they receive?
Generous dichotomy,
Birthday Knitters give!
Summer means more time
To knit at length on projects.
Finished Objects! Yay!
Happy Birthday, Karen
Free the cat, its hot!
Sticky by day, suave by night
Cake all round baby!
Happy Birthday!
Sock yarn, ohhhhh my love
Blended but separate hues
Color for my toes
Birthdays? Who needs' em?
Over rated time tickers
Count your yarn instead
