The etiquette I learned in my culture of origin makes me squirm at the LJ custom of posting one's gift wish list to one's journal (which isn't a judgement on people who do it, it's a statement about me) but this is too funny to pass up.

porcinea memes,
If there is someone on your friends list who you would like to have go buy a really nice skein of yarn for you, post this exact same sentence in your journal.

I have the beginnings of a stash of really nice single skeins of yarn and I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I guess I could produce a weird patchwork garment. Or maybe annoy my cat by making a lot of little sweaters for her.

See, I would never, ever post my "wish list" asking people to gimme stuff - but I have posted it to say, "here's stuff I like - tell me other stuff this list makes you think I would like."

OTOH, I couldn't pass up this meme, because I am such a yarn slut and I trust that no one on my friends' list would think I was truly asking. :)

Recommendations are very cool.

I trusted that, too, but am beginning to wonder if I was wrong. Ah, well, if people don't know me by now...

I didn't think you personally were doing so. I just felt I had to add a disclaimer to my posting the meme, so that my inner grandma wouldn't swat me.
