Coffe up my nose…coffee spluttered everywhere…G R O A N !
:yay: Good one!
I need a bib myself.
Sorry about the coffee up the nose. Pepsi up the nose, ah, why my family is funny only when I have food or drink in my mouth!
Hope the coffee didn’t stain your knitting.
I’ve heard of snorting Coke before…:roflhard: my brother also snorted Pepsi. He didn’t appreciate my humorous take on it.
My kids are all in the 40’s now but when they all get together they still recall how funny it was to make the other shoot milk out their nose. They still like to gross eat other out at the dinner table sometimes.I swear even at 40ish they are still kids at heart. But I have been known to giggle at some of their antics . Sometimes Mom has to step in especially when the grandkids were little. 
my dad and his 5 brothers were collectively known as ‘those Brown boys’, with as much consternation as could be mustered. none of them can claim innocence AND they all passed on the antics to us kids, every last one of us. my cousin jeremy passed away summer 2013, and with me being the next oldest of the kids/cousins on my dad’s side (and the oldest of the kids/cousins on my mom’s side), it’s often my responsibility to get the bad behavior started, and then stand back and watch my creation. 
X, you’d fit in with my boys ! They love to throw me into the mix too. Their always bring up the stupid stuff ‘Mom’ use to do when they were itybity. I was the kind of mom that like to play pranks on them . Like the night when they were all waiting to go out trick or treating . I went outside with a glow in the dark skeleton mask on and a witches wig on and laid down on the ground outside of the basement window (they were all in the basement) I tapped on the window and my then 8 year old daughter climbed up on an end table to move the curtain to look out and there I was with flash light in hand shining on my mask. She screamed so loud my husband came running to her rescue . She ended up falling off the table and hit her nose on the table when she fell backward onto the floor. Her two brothers couldn’t stop laughing and I was rolling on the ground outside the window roflmaf. I didn’t know she actually broke her nose. But, that’s the kind of mother I was .
it’s so wrong, but i can’t help laughing at this 
i assume, after your daughter healed, and you won her trust back, that there were further adventures
Yeah, it was wrong, but the look on her face…Priceless 
I raised kids with a great sense of humor and we’ve all learn to laugh at each other with love. They all admit they got the sense of humor from mom and their brains from dad . And yes she forgave me and the laughs and pranks still live on.
Seems we are all cut from the same cloth of finding an excuse to put a smile on someone’s face.
I’m still at it. When you are pushing 60, female and lose your job, if you work at all, it is from home, that’s me now. So giving great expensive gifts as well as when I stayed at home and raised kids, is once again – home made.
My son, now is thirty-something, had a birthday recently. He likes all things Viking, resembling the part, so I knit him a Viking helmut and carved the horns out of a florist’s styrofoam ring, and covered that with crochet. Made a beard which was long enough to cover his chest to mid belly of that Homespun yarn with all the kinks, braided like dwarves’ beards from Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit.
We dressed his wife up in the attire instead of wrapping it. I really had him going, he thought I flipped my bippy as before he got the hat and beard, I gave him a package of metal brads used to hold notebook paper together. What a strange look, it was priceless. Then he really did split his seams when she walked out, as he wasn’t expecting it at all. We gave him also two six packs of brewskis with large metal screw off caps. What the brads were for is if he chose to make embellishments on the hat, he could turn beer bottle caps upside down, piercing the tops so the brad could go through the center with the ends hiding inside the double layer of Celtic cable embracing the brim. I don’t think he used them but it was a great distraction while my daughter-in-law got into costume.
Knitting used to be a more affordable hobby, with designer yarns, the project cost me about $40.00. But it is a memory made of gold as we had a wonderful evening. My son, not to my knowledge, had bought a movie replica of Thor’s hammer for his son, Mjölnir, which he then proceeded to pose with. We also got him other things like a Thor designer t-shirt. He felt loved and that is what it is all about.
Enjoy.

‘by the hammer of thor!’, that’s some great work
Thanks.
It was fun. I have more yarn to make more beards but have to get back in the mood. My daughter-in-laws birthday is this month so I have to get cracking.

Thanks for the link, the ideas are very amusing and very creative.
Holy Moly that is awesome !!!
I knit my dear hubby a beautiful long scarf for Christmas using basket weave. It’s a very simple design and leaves a beautiful texture. So far it hasn’t stretched at all and he’s been wearing it.
I love the look. The fabric it makes is a bit thicker and therefore warmer than just st st. Hubby loves it and I think it made a very professional looking scarf.
As for using it for ribbing… I think it would be fine… however, if you have doubts you could always begin a sock with it and if you didn’t like it, pull it out and do something else.
Personally, I think it would look great!
For what it’s worth…
