Anybody besides me remember Love of Chair? For some reason, it stuck with me even after the rest of the Electric Company is just a distant, faded dream of a memory.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Naomi's afghan is finished. Here's a picture:



I decided not to add the lavender racing stripes to either side of the butter-colored stripes because I thought it would look too busy.

Here's a close-up of the texture:



This was easily the most pain-in-the-ass pattern I have ever worked on. The cloth is not as tight as I was envisioning, either. But the colors are nice, and it does I do like the look of the texture. Please note,this picture does not include the egregious error that I made in the first three rows of bobbles, but you actually have to be looking to find them.

So, Naomi, before Christmas! Yay, me! Please drop me email (lydy at demesne dot com) and to arrange to take custody. I can bring it to you, or you can come to me, either works.

[livejournal.com profile] cattitude and I certainly do.

We also quote bits of "Silent E," especially "But my friend Sam stayed just the Same." which was broadcast there.

Man, I had totally forgotten the Silent E song. Must see if I can find it on YouTube. I fondly remember the L-Y song, which was written by Tom Lehrer.

I believe both of those are by Tom Lehrer.

I found it on YouTube. The voice is recognizably that of Tom Lehrer, and YouTube also credits him. Thanks for reminding me of it, I feel all warm and nostalgic, now.

I'm not sure Naomi is reading LJ anymore -- her posting is exceedingly sparse. But there are a couple of e-mail addresses at her profile that you might try.

I totally read LJ still, but had somehow missed this post, despite seeing the posts on either side of it. WTF, LJ? Anyway, this is GORGEOUS.

I'm glad you found it, then!

I've had a chance to see it in person, and not only is it very pretty, it's also amazingly soft.
