Flint Knits

a Golden Snitch, for my niece.
[raveled]

Happy Winter, all!

I crafted (instead of just buyin’)
a gift for my awesome friend Ryan.
But what did I make?
A bird, or a snake?
or a hippo? or penguin? or lion?

Though Ryan’s a dreadful pool-shooter,
he couldn’t be smarter or cuter.
But to my dismay,
he lives far away,
so we chat a lot on the computer.

And on G-Chat’s weird smiley-designer
there’s a monkey! Oh, what could be finer?
(Though, once it’s assembled,
it also resembles
a hamburger or a vaginer.)

(seriously. if you use gchat, try it.) :(|)

So yarn and some beads (two the same)
and stuffing and beans soon became
this birthday gift of
a monkey to love.
Now won’t someone give it a name?

No monkey deserves this position,
to suffer this name-less condition.
No more can we stall it!
But what shall we call it?
Please enter a contest submission.

Only one entry per knitter:
a name that will fit him (or fit her).
Then Ryan will choose
which handle to use
as the one he bestows on the critter.

Deadline: 11:59pm Eastern Time on Monday, March 17.
The winner will receive a $20 Wool Girl gift certificate.
Bring on the names!
