The Evolution of Yarn

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.

Do you scoff at those pale Tofu dogs in the health food aisles of the supermarket? Are you one of those people who taunt vegans by talking about Big Macs?
As promised yesterday, here's how I make breakfast sausage (I do it for taste but it will also lower your nitrate intake). And as to the old saying, I'd much rather make sausage than make laws.
Bjúgnakrækir - he will swipe your sausages, even if you hang them high. Mmm, horse sausage is making a comeback in Iceland. Poor peoples' food, that, and whale steaks.
Bjúgnakrækir - hold on to your sausages. The hungry elves are back, and this one will hook the sausages from the rafters and snarf them. "Bjúgu" are a particular Icelandic delicacy, large, very fatty. Good winter food.
