Hmmm


Perhaps it's just me, but every time I look at the beginning of my Clementine Shawlette (Spring 2007 IK) I think...

Hmmm, I appear to have just knitted a codpiece.

Oh, I'll keep knitting it, but I'll never get that out of my mind. I have to keep myself from calling it my "Codpiece Shawlette."
Ok - that's just disturbing, however, now it's all I think of when I see it. Perhaps I'm slightly warped.
Perhaps I've just tainted it for you all, too. So sorry.

Don't know what a codpiece is.. but it does kinda look funny.

I know what a codpiece is - ew! But I'm sure the shawlette will block beautifully, hence removing the codpiece, and be lovely!

There's a link if you click on "codpiece".... if you really want to know ;o)

I think that definitely qualifies as TMI. I don't think you'd ever see a pretty rose colored codpiece though, so you're probably OK.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww ... yuck. You have a stange mind. Or, you looked at the knitted underwear in that magazine one too many times.

No! Wait! Stop! I started Clementine first... you can't finish first! I just haven't had time... wait for meeeeee.

How's Bonita coming along? Do you like the yarn? Maybe you should go back and work on that.

OK... I just followed your codpiece link (I was thinking cod as in fish). Now you've really ruined it for me.

Yup. That's a codpiece. I bet you'll think of that when you wear that shawl years from now.

ROFLOL!!! Oh Lynda - you have made me laugh today!! Now, that is not a very big codpiece! Maybe you need to increase your gauge!! Larger needles perhaps? LOL Thanks for the chuckle!! I surely needed it!

HOLY MOLY!! I could never ever wear it with that on there. Then again, it would make an interesting conversation starter at parties!

Yep, it's a codpiece. Looked like that for me too. Sorry to reinforce your vision. I'm sure after it's blocked, it'll look like a laaaaaarge and loooooong codpiece. :D

Just the word "codpiece" makes me laugh.

I'm not sure it's going to compliment Tim's eyes so much.

LOL! Wish I could spend an hour knitting with you, Lynda. You're a hoot!

ROFL!!! This was hilarious Lynda! I never knew what a codpiece was (never heard of it), but after checking out your link I do...ROFL!!

Katie said exactly what I wanted to say! You're a lot of fun. :)

LOL!! Oh man, now I can't look at that picture without thinking codpiece.

*snicker* you said codpiece...*giggle*

 
At 4:20 AM, Blogger Sarah said...

yep. now I see it...

 
At 5:36 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

HA! Ha ha hoooo!

Yup.

As soon as I saw that picture I was thinking something along those lines before I even read your post. That is so funny.

How are you going to wear that now, knowing where it "could have been?" hee.

 
At 7:22 AM, Blogger Karen said...

Eeeeewwww! LOL. You are too funny. I think you need to call it the Codpiece Shawl from here on out!

Such an odd beginning for such a gorgeous sweater!??

 
At 9:09 PM, Blogger Jen said...

LOL! but I have to feel sorry for the wife of whomever your codpiece fits!

 
At 12:18 AM, Blogger Laura said...

Oh nice. Now I can never look another codpiece in the face again without thinking of a SHAWL! hehe

*snort* I've been giggling about the codpiece for a half hour. My husband keeps looking at me oddly, but it was funny! HeeHee. Perhaps you've discovered a budding business for Rennaissance festivals?

Well I shared your comment with my husband and now HE'S calling it a codpiece, too (I'm still on page 1 of chart B, about what you have in your photo).
