1000 Yards of Pale Pink Plastic

My grandmother discovered I was a knitter at our family reunion two summers ago. She got all excited, exactly as you would expect a grandmother to do. She promised me she would send me her stash. I got all excited, exactly as you would expect a knitter to do.
And sure enough, a package arrived in the mail shortly after. It did not contain fifty balls of talking, homosexual sock yarn. Or a cigarette-smoking sheep. What arrived was silent, but not in a good way. It was in the delivering-a-menacing-death-glare, very very bad way.
It looks innocent, but it’s not.

Earlier today, at approximately the same time that France was lamenting Trezeguet’s shot into the crossbar, a friend of mine was celebrating her nuptials. That would be the friend for whom I was knitting the Print o’ the Wave stole as a wedding gift.
Oops.
