The Evolution of Yarn

By zooillogix on August 21, 2008.

There's no interesting news. It appears all the world's animals have finally been discovered, their strange mating behaviors documented, and their interest in acting all crazy for YouTube evaporated. But we are undaunted. We will make the logical transition and become a knitting blog.

Once again, we bring you critters from Mochimochi Land complete with their creator's commentary. Past installments here and here.

Evolution is still a pretty radical idea - just ask this little Evolving Punk. He recently made the big step onto dry land from the primordial ooze of a dirty toilet.

The snails and slugs are battling it out in a gastronomical challenge of epic proportions. Whoever can devour their leaves first will be the superior species! However, a third party seems to have disrupted an otherwise fair fight...

Sometimes my half-baked planning works out.
Because I was in Sweden for my younger offspring's birthday, and because my older offspring's birthday is nowhere near the school year, we gave them a joint un-birthday party today. Each was allowed to invite eight friends. Of these, a total of five attended (plus a younger sib), but there was…
In which I try to outwit the gastropods
... from a secret location. Because, in light of fluctuations in the slug and snail population when I go away, I think they may read my blog. Tuesday (day 39 of the snail eradication project) and Wednesday (day 40 of the snail eradication project) I found ten slugs each. No snails to speak of.…
Snail eradication (day 29).
This morning it was dewy and clear as I went on patrol for gastropods. By the time I was done patrolling, clouds had rolled in and there was no sun at all. Tut, tut. It looks like rain. Needless to say, the dew had awakened the slumbering slugs, sending them out for a constitutional before the (…
