May 6: New Rule? Knitting, Color

[marykeith47]

YAY size two needles! Teeny knitting takes forever but really, it's addictive. Like crack, or those pretzels at the mall.

Also: Can I come to HBP with you? I live in South Carolina. That's not a problem, is it? (lol. j/k.)

[anitanap]

wow the ads here are getting raelly specific theres a yarn ad next to this video that started with makiing a scarf

[watkinskevan]

wow you are really really pretty!!

[periwinklefrank92]

I'm colorblind. :(

[notasecretagent]

My sister is younger than I am, and I feel weird hanging out with her friends. I'm with you on that one. :)

Also, your laptop sleeve is not ugly on screen! I like it. Maybe I just have bad taste? I don't know, but I like it. Just be careful of the static content of the wool, I'm not sure what you're knitting with, but that can be an issue sometimes with knitted sleeves for electronic things.

[JSBulldog89]

I think you girls should do challenges again, if you're having that much trouble making a video 2 minutes. :P

[seasonssecrets]

Wow... you're hair looks really pretty. Epic win for Monica's Hair!!

[harrypottergeekete1]

exactly what I was thinking! :)

[seasonssecrets]

Hehe, yeah. So pwetty. ^^ All wavvy and stuff. XD And yay for the scarf! I like the pretty colours ^^

[amelioooo]

Maybe I should get one of those books for when I go to art school because I have to take like an entire year of color theory....HA

[moosesdoll]

It's awesome that you are going to art school! Wow! :) xo ShortMom... Mom of the shortsisters.

[danica9]

a whole year?? I only had to take a quarter! which is only 10 weeks! yikes! (color theory is really cool though!)

[VoenDomar]

Talk about your views on recent events! That's a good way to make interesting videos, spread news that matters to you and fill time.

[lunalovegoodwanabe]

rubix cube my friend can solve one like 4 times in like 30 minuets while messing round

[ravingmunky]

I swear, when you said 'I'm in the mood for swimming' and then held up the knitting, I thought you were making a swimsuit XD

Anyway, if you have all this free time can we set you guys challenges??

[MaximoBean]

My mind has slightly been warped because I thought Shelly was older! Ahhhh!

[TamarynTobian]

Okay, this is probably rude of me, but a) I kinda want to go with you ladies to see harry potter...and shoot me because I forget what day it's on. :)

Also, Monica, I am so envious of your knitting skills it's sick.

Also, I too am kinda excited for Grey's

Also, I need to go get a copy of that color book, it sounds interesting.

Also... I <3 you, so no less that 2 minute videos. Just stare at the camera and discuss why you don't like milk.

[ilovesugar2]

bu...bu...but milk is good...

[TamarynTobian]

It is, but it's a well known short sisters fact that Monica would rather put yogurt on her cereal than milk.

I don't get it either, honestly. :D

[Matthewcmiel]

I tend to think of you as the little one...

[musicalcolin]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[Matthewcmiel]

We brothers think alike. I also tend to think of me as "the little one" despite my size, as in "Raoul and ..."

which makes you an awesome drug addict poisoner. okay. Nerd moment.

[miszmsx]

REALLY nice scarf

[CoconuttyScent]

I love that you said you had nothing to talk about and still ended up with a 3.14 min long video :)

[xperpetualmotion]

That book looks awesome. I'm taking a class about color next semester and I'm so excited!

[iaMyla]

omgomg, I strongly oppose only 1 min vlogs... Less monica and chellie = *sadface*

[hopeonatenspeed]

my favorite books are the ones that seem boring to other people.

hah.

[fallofautumndistro]

Yay on finishing the scarf!

[masqueradevlogger]

You guys ar so sweet to eachother...Damn you though because you keep mentioning books and then I feel the need to go and spend money and buy them and I have no money...not to mention the fact that i as gonna hold of knitting for a while and you keep talking about it...arghhhh!!!!!! i am too poor for these subliminal messages! :P

[thhelix]

Wow.. they spelt Colour right on the first book! Awesome.

[chinareds54]

I find it odd that you proposed a rule change to allow shorter videos due to lack of material, yet this video was far closer to 4 minutes than 1 minute...

[splicegrrl]

my dad wrote a philosophy book about color. it's called 'the quest for reality: subjectivism and the metaphysics of color.' i haven't read it (kinda over my head) but i think it's all about what we THINK we see when we perceive color. *brain hurts*

[Starlysh]

I was finding the colors book really interesting! haha

[base753]

On the yellow page, that looks like half a lemon sticking out of the page.

And you have another pretty Rubik's Cube design.

[Traviiismonster]

I'm new to these videos, and I just wanted to say I love them!! and that scarf looks amazing :)

[doctornoise]

I've still never once watched a Lost episode. ha

[Bartron15]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You should do a compilation video of all the weird/cool noises you make!

[jazzyj890]

I actually want to learn to knit to make a hat. How difficult is it?

[musicalcolin]

I love color! Someday soon I hope to write about it too! (but first I need to know more...)

[PenelopeSr]

Cube! (I don't think I'll stop commenting on that. I'm too impressed.)

Laptop case? Sweeeet. That is so awesome. My question is, though: Is your laptop light enough to be supported by whatever sort of yarn/string you're using?

DFTBA!

-Gianna

[shortsisters756]

It's more of a sleeve than a case. To protect it from getting scratched when I put it in my bag. :-)

Thanks for commenting, as always! :-D

-Monica

[crimsong19]

Homemade, knitted laptop case? Cool!

[dripduke]

I'm watching Lost right now...and watching you...this is a good episode.

My laptop needs a comfortable place to sleep...any chance you can hook me up?

Chellie has Lost parties...they should broadcast them live on BlogTV sometime.

[cheezewheel]

i <3 colour ^^ it makes life so more interesting. like the short sisters ^^

[shortsisters756]

aw, yay. ^_^ thanks

-Monica

[soopushie]

[shortsisters756]

haha we should! I suck at knitting though, I can barely make anything.
