Here it is, Tuesday again. The theme for this week is 10 Things You’d Bring on a Deserted Island.
1. Dale
2. Sock yarn and my Addi Turbo needles in size 1. Please note the significance that I put Dale before yarn. This may or may not have something to do with his excellent ability to build a fire.
3. Lace weight yarn and all my other Addi Turbos. It can’t be all socks, all the time. Or can it?
4. Spinning wheels. The Reeves and the Schacht, please. Along with the wheels will be plenty of fiber.
5. Books. Enough so I’ll never run out.
6. Vodka and olives.
7. Sunscreen.
8. Mascara. I just can’t be without mascara.
9. Bug spray.
10. All of you!
Nora Said,
Aaah! I forgot mascara! And beer!
Estella Said,
Good thinking on the sunscreen! I’d bring wine. We sometimes play the game in our family “what would be your last dinner before being stuck on a desert island” – the kids love it.
Kate Said,
I’m with you on the mascara… my Nana used to tell me “put on a little lipstick and comb up your hair… then it has to be a good day”. Me, I put on a little foundation and feel human!
Barbara-Kay Said,
No mascara for me. You’d think that someone who can knit lace with itty bitty needles could put on mascara, but no-o-o-o.
Beth Said,
At first I was worried that you’d have no food then I saw you are taking olives.
Knitnana Said,
I love your list! Totally appropriate!
(((hugs)))
deb Said,
OK – So i’ll bring you – cuz you’d have all your stuff which I assume you’d share, Jon, cuz he could build us stuff, Kathryn, more vodka – I think we’re set!
Teyani Said,
hah! good list. And I bet that Dale is glad that he made number 1
and could he bring his band along, so there’s a bit a music ? (another big grin)
Julie Said,
Good list! I especially like #6. I totally forgot #9 on my list, but my island would be so deserted that there wouldn’t even be any bugs
Mary K. in Rockport Said,
Well, my can’t live withouts are: books, hot water, color TV and Bufferin. Not sure some of those would transport well. Wait – can I change “books” to fully-stocked-library? Oh gosh, I forgot about my family members…..
JessaLu Said,
You just ran amuck with the multiple items, you rebel! ;op
Cheryl S. Said,
With all of us on there with you, it wouldn’t be a very deserted island, would it? But it would be fun!
jill Said,
I’m thinking the cast of LOST could be helpful with the killing boars and finding fresh water piece. A lounge chair would be good too, for all the knitting, reading, and drinking.
Sarah Said,
Awwww…so sweet!
Sylvia Said,
My portable water filter, a flint for striking sparks, knives & sharpener, hatchet, a big stainless steel bucket, a packet of fish hooks, a hand-cranked short-wave radio, a really good first aid kit, a big stainless steel trunk that locks (to keep rodents, etc., out of the food I harvest and textiles I make), and Abramovich’s new yacht, Eclipse.
Lucia Said,
This sounds like the best desert island ever. Does it have coconut palms on it? If so we will need rum as well as vodka.
Patty Said,
We’d do well together!
Cookie Said,
Is your island be enough for all of us?
I totally forgot about bugs. Thank goodness Ozzy thinks of everything.
