My younger brother Vincent lives in Vancouver. Vancouver is very far away. We miss him a lot. Luckily he's home for a visit just in time for my older brother's wedding next weekend. He spent a good part of the day with me at work at my home yesterday.
While we were eating lunch he took the opportunity to arrange my coloured pencils in rainbow formation, which I find hilarious because I do that all that time. The funny thing is his rainbow formation is very different from mine... interesting.
Then he sat with me in my office while I worked. He found my little container of pins that I use to block lace and decided to surround himself in pins. He pinned every single pin into my carpet. Weird, I know, but that's Vince.
He looked at all my yarn, picked up a skein and asked if he could have it. Which I find hilarious. Of course I said that he could have it, even though he doesn't knit, he just wanted to keep it in his room because he thinks it looks pretty.
Ah Vince, I love ya.
I sometimes keep yarn on my desk just because it's pretty and not because I'm going to crochet with it anytime soon so I get it. :)
ReplyDeleteROYGBIV is so yesterday.

But I bet you won't ever forget the "Vincent Zone" whenever you look at that part of the carpet. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those times when siblings can be together just because. It is harder to find that time when we are adults. Be when it happen it is magical and nice. I loved this post. How nice it will be to have the family together.
ReplyDeleteOkay....I HAVE to know which yarn and which color?
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to spend time with siblings who live far far away. My sibs and I just got together for Mike's wedding this past weekend. All of us in one house (eek!) and it was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteAll my best to Luke this coming week!
Your brother has a wonderful whimsical and wacky streak. How awesome would the world be if everyone had a splash of that? :D
ReplyDeleteI too would like to know which yarn he chose to keep close by. But I'm kind of nosy that way.
It was so Vince and Tanis! The pins crack me up! The only reason I would have yarn is to look at how pretty it is too! Have a great wedding weekend!
