The Amazing Lace - Xtreme Lace Challenge!
This is my entry for the xtreme challenge at The Amazing Lace KAL. Just about the only thing Icarus and I are extreme at is partying, so we're giving you a window into one of our drinking games.
Set up and ready to get started. We've got our quality vodka, shot glasses, and quarters.
Cheers! So far it's an even match.
Preparing to take my first throw at quarters, using my highly perfected nose rolling method.
And GOAL! Take that Icarus!
Icarus gets ready for her first throw. As she doesn't have a nose, she's using the more controversial two needle approach.
Miss! Close, but no cigar. I'm way ahead now.
So far I have a 3 to 1 advantage over Icarus. I'm starting to feel a little guilty here, but not enough to throw the game. What can I say, I like to win.
Unfortunately, Icarus doesn't know when to stop, so we have some yarn barf. I held her hair back like a good teammate, and suggested we call it a night.
The next morning. Icarus, "Ugh, why is it so bright..." Me, "Shhh, don't talk so loud." We're still recovering.

I think I love you. Although I've always been a Belvadere gal myself, I'm going to have to look into this Grey Goose thing.

I think that those were some of the funniest WIP-in-action pictures I've ever seen. The sunglasses shot is the best.

Fantastic drinking game. I knew that if anyone could come up with a drinking game involving yarn it would be a knitting law school student!

Ha! (Have you seen "Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle"? "EEEEXXXTREEEEEEEEME!")
I knew from the moment I saw her, Icarus was no match for you in game of quarters...

Wow - Icarus seemed so mild-mannered when we met. Who knew what happened at night?
Great to meet you Sat.

Poor Icarus! You should have told her to take an aspirin and a full glass of water before going to bed. Then she wouldn't wake up with such a bad hangover.

In addition to the sunglasses, I love how deflated Icarus looks the morning after. :-D

Just knit blog surfing...I just loved this post so much & had to comment! Very funny! I probably would have picked the same vodka or a Tanqueray Sterling Vodka. Anyways...good luck on Icarus, it's a gorgeous pattern.
