Best Laid Plans and All...

I had planned to write a blog post about a certain Food Network celebrity and his Twitter flouncing, and why his followers were becoming increasingly exasperated with him and his lack of social media knowledge. (We will not discuss how I feel he needs a social media overhaul of all his sites, but I digress.) I planned to give you a whole blog post on how to create an effective social media plan and how not to use Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, and a whole host of other social media sites.

However, he grew a pair, apologized and took the advice of someone who knew what they were talking about the next morning.

This means that I won't post something scathing or use him as an example. It also means, however, that I have no blog post planned, and the last post was on the 4th.

So, I will give you an update into the world of my knitting!

I finally have a yarn budget. Yup, I'm getting paid at work now (and loving it!) and now I have enough money to buy nice yarn. So, without further ado, the tweed vest:



It's completely free-formed, meaning I have an idea of what I want and I'm knitting it without a pattern.



So, yes, a post about knitting! On a knitting blog! How novel.

And it's also Pioneer Day weekend! Enjoy your Utah founder's day!

Can You Figure Out What These Tweets are Referring To?

Prizes to those who are correct! I dunno... I'll send you an Archie comic or some yarn! Or juice! Or my group member is saying beer! Do you like beer?

Tweet 1) Hint: Literature

Puritan woman cheats on husband. Daughter is born. Woman forced to wear "A" as badge of public shame for refusing to reveal father.

Tweet 2) Hint: Stage

They fell in love. Their parents hated it, they killed themselves.

Tweet 3) Hint: Screen

Man with multiple personalities joins fight club. Acts as another person, imagines everything he can't be. Gets complicated, shoots self.

Rules: You have to get all three correct and post it to the comments. I will assign a random number to the posters with all three correct, and one lucky winner will get a prize (sorry, just discovered I can't mail beer). The prize will be a surprise!

Good luck!

Edit: If you're in my class, don't bother. I know who you are. You are automatically disqualified by reason of knowing the answers.
