S.E.X. and 'other' things for the uninitiated.

Thought it might be a good time to again put up our little list of
shortcut/anagrams we use he

S.E.X. = Stash Enhancement (e)Xperience
WIP = works in progress
UFO = unfinished object
FO = finished object
TIA = thanks in advance
JM2C = just my 2 cents
HTH = hope that helps OR happy to help
DH = darling (or dumb, depends on the mood) husband
DD = darling daughter
DS = darling son
Dsis = darling sister
LP = life partner
DGD = darling granddaughter
DGS = darling grandson
DB = darling brother
MIL = mother in law
FIL = father in law
SIL = sister in law
BIL = brother in law
BTW = by the way
(g) or *g* or g = grin
VEG = very evil grin

I've probably missed a bunch, but .... the reason I thought this should be
posted is that I've had people ask me offlist what some of these are.

HTH!

Same here. The only yarn I've got left in the stash which isn't =

I'm sure I'll figure it out easier when I've got my head screwed on in =

Hmmm, I don't see where blue and white or pink and white would
look 'hokey'.... but here's an idea..... rainbow pastels instead
of white?
OR pick up some pastel green and pastel yellow, use THEM 'with'
both the pink and blue and make TWO quick baby afghans in all
four colors, THEN you're 'safe' if someone has either a boy or
girl!
I'm looking at my *me* stash, and ideas are flowing, I just don't
know exactly 'what' I'm going to do with it.....
I really need to replenish the other stash though.... maybe it's
time to shop....
Hmmmmmm......

Hi Sarah,

Make an afghan using all three colors, I've done that, maybe a ripple pattern
or even a granny square where you do a few rounds of each color. That way it
will be for either a girl or boy.

Nora

Hi Noreen,

If you go shopping just don't drop any yarn on your foot.

Hugs,

Nora

Or anything else for that matter!!!!!

What is the difference between a WIP and an UFO? My first thought was that
a WIP is what in on your lap RIGHT NOW, with everything else on needles
being UFOs. But many people seem to have several WIPs in the house, so
obviously I got it wrong.

When does a work in mind (WIM) become a WIP? When you buy the yarn? When you
chart it? when you Cast on?

Why is "S.E.X" the only shortcut to have periods in it? Considering the
excitement involved, I think it should be "SEX!" Maybe "SEX" is for
elbowing your way to the bargin bin and "S.E.X." is when you bid on eBay and
must for the end of the auction and then wait for the postman? Then we
could reserve "SEX!" for that big buying trip.
