And last time Henry Rollins was in town I made him his very own voodoo doll. Of himself. But I kind of forgot he was coming this time around and, well, I haven’t knit him anything. Yet. And I’ve only got…what is today? Wednesday? I’ve got essentially 3 (if I stretch it) days to come up with something AND knit it. I’m a little tempted to knit him a cupcake, but B isn’t too keen on that as Henry is his rock star idol. So maybe I should just go with something kind of safe. Like a hat? Because really. How do you top a voodoo doll?
And I did say last time that I might just print out the picture of him eating his voodoo doll and see if he will sign it. I think I will definitely do that. Because, you know, if he does remember me, I want to make sure it’s as that kinda asiany crazy knitter chick from Alabama.

That would be a crazy thing to be remembered as.
okay so it’s pretty hard to top the voodoo doll…but I have a three year plan that will assure that he will remember you for years to come (and perhaps get a restraining order….)
THIS YEAR: STEP ONE: print out the photo from last year and ask him to autograph it (mentioning that you have posted about this gift in your knitting blog is a plus.) STEP TWO: give him a knitted cup cake.
NEXT YEAR/TOUR DATE: give him another knit voodoo doll – but this one should be eating the knit cupcakes.
YEAR THREE: (provided you are allowed to anymore of his appearences) present him with some completely random knit object like a turkey.
please note: years two and three can be swapped.
There is no way he won’t remember you after that.
I like Celeste’s idea. That would leave a lasting impression and be in the ranks of coolness.
Better yet, have you seen the turkey hat? (Going with Celeste’s theme.)
