New Contest! sp9’s super short stories.
October 26, 2006
Hey sp9ers (and friends and loved ones of sp9ers):
Anne turned me on to this super idea. I can’t even stand it; I love it so much. Especially the Hemingway one.
So here’s the deal:
Write a short story using six words. One of the words must be fiber related (yarn, needles, hook, you get the idea).
Six words; no more, no less.
How’s that for a start?
And here’s one from ABC, my nine-year old auteur:
I am in love with Charles. Not fibery but clever, very clever.
Spread the word! There will be prizes . . .
(Anne girl, I am SO in love with this idea!)
Edited to add: I must have erased half this post. There WILL be prizes (I just about typed ‘probable cause’ because I’m watching Law & Order.)

Knitting socks to keep feet warm!
October 29, 2006 at 8:17 pm
[…] Edit: And before I forget AGAIN, my SP9 Hostess Lorinda has issued a challenge. Tell a story that has to do with knitting/crocheting. Bet you think it sounds easy? Here is the catch: it must be in six words. So here is mine for you all to read. I posted “Knitting socks to keep feet warm!” on her comments. Hope that says enough for a story. […]

Sweater didn’t fit him. She traded husbands.
Didn’t check gauge; scarf became afghan.
November 3, 2006 at 7:00 am
Eek — that one should’ve said “Sweater doesn’t fit him? Trade husbands.” Can’t count this late at night.
