Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

That would be SO COOL to make glow in the dark reactor coolant yarn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A FEATURE! NOT a flaw!
willy warmers
A hat or scarf or mittens. Maybe you'd be visible on night time walks. :) And I agree - reactor coolant glow in the dark yarn - cool!
fuzzy handcuffs?
On a more wholesome note, I bet the goob would go gaga over a glow in the dark blankie.
someone just asked me about silk and silkworms. Now I can tell them! Thanks!
Trish
I gotta side with netter here, but I prefer to call em Banana Hammocks.
Jammies for the Goob so she can come into your room while you're sleeping and scare the LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!!!
I'd knit something for the dog so I could see him in the dark when we walk in the morning. Dog socks?
Pam
Ooo, a glow in the dark lace scarf to wear to nightclubs! Or, I suppose, you could probably just sell it when it's been dyed. I'll buy some!
I gotta say that the glow-in-the-dark condoms my DH had made me laugh so hard he didn't need to wear one. So I vote no on the willie warmer/banana hammock debate. I agree that the Goob would love glowing mittens or a blankie.
I immediately made the leap to something kinky/naughty too but why not a hallowe'en costume component for The Goob?
Or just sell it. If you mixed sparkly in it would be my admittedly tacky brand of crack :)
