I love this prank. It also seems like an excellent way to celebrate the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

While I’m at it: I’m on a hat-making jag. I’m going to design a FSM hat for the occasion.

Knitting, crocheting, or felting your hats?

Both knitting and crocheting. I alternate between them to give my hands a rest.

My current pile of yarn is mostly blue and yellow for some reason; probably from watching the footage of Ukrainian refugees. Most of the people wear some kind of watch cap and the children (so their mothers can find them in the crowds) wear hats with either two small “bear ear” pompoms or huge ones the size of their little heads, usually in princess pink. There was one shot of a train station with a sea of people containing another sea, about waist-high, of pink pompom hats.

I cried, then I laughed and started knitting.

That’s really good! The only other prank I saw/heard was Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel trading places for their late night shows! I hope all is well in your life.

More people are getting back into “making”, especially during Covid. The fact that the cost of knitware has gone through the roof helped to boost the effort. My Mom and all of her side did needle work and our Aunt Doe did petit point “rugs” for doll houses. They believed that “idle hands are the devil’s play ground” and kept busy.

Little kids in pompom hats is always worth a smile.

Not a lot of people feel like pranks lately. There are things to laugh at if you look for them and it is better than crying.
